I know that loose skin is a common problem... has anyone found that they can't stand it to the point of regret or do you just deal with it and enjoy your new body?

Not there yet but imagine I will feel a bit of both until it is financially feasible to have the excess skin removed.

NOPE because I look great with clothes on.. Just how I want to look. I even stood on the kids stool in the bathroom today before my shower to see how droopy my butt is getting.

The excess skin is a big concern I have. I'm not super worried about what I'll look like in public, clothed and all, but worried that my sweetheart husband won't find me attractive. :( Not saying he won't of doesn't love me, but to be attracted to me. He's always loved my plush-ness, and to be true, I like the way I feel (to the touch)--the softness, not so much with the aching knees/legs. I can't see me (or him) feeling the same way when I feel and look like a hairless shar-pei with poking bones.

I too am worried about looking like a charpae but when I asked my husband what he would prefer -he said as long as I'm happy, then to him I am hot (good answer!) He then looked at my stomach ("Big Bertha") and said he did nt understand what I was saying. I was like the skin will be down to here (pointing to my upper thighs) and he replied "but now it's out to here! As long as you still feel soft and smell nice I won't mind the extra skin." awe! But that's what he says now!! 

I know in my heart that my hubby won't mind but I mind. That's the mental battle I have constantly besides not eating bread!!

bread, OMG I feel like a heroin addict. I was soooo addicted. I guess I still am and will always be. I miss it but I know it was (is) so bad for me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
