I am considered an "apple" my weight loss is going well... I am finally losing from my stomach which is awesome. Pre-Surgery I was a VERY tight 20... probably should have been a 22/24... Now I am a 12/14... It is AWESOME!

Surprisingly enough I really noticed the loss first in my arms and back, also in my legs (I didn't need to lose from there and I was hoping that would be last lol) But I don't have to worry about the dreaded back fat at all anymore which is awesome! My stomach is going away slowly but surely...

yeah I'm worried about losing in my legs...if they get thinner before my stomach I'm going to look so weird lol.

I already looked weird before my surgery... I was so un-proportioned... But now my body is starting to proportion out a little better... I am still a size 12 or 14 in my waist and probably a 8 or 10 in my legs... But I have found size 13 Jrs clothes fit me well, I just struggle not finding something too low rise...

I'm an apple! But even though I lost just a few lbs, I'm looking less, uh, applely. I'm excited to see what my body shape will be. I've never been a normal weight, so this is pretty exciting.

I was a complete apple. I looked pregnant - I am not kidding. I was a tight tight size 16 before surgery. Today I am comfortably in 2s and 4s. I don't have the "apple" shape anymore - and hope I never will! I am SO HAPPY that I had this surgery when I did. I am short (5'3") and my original personal goal was 120 lbs. I have lowered that goal to 115 lbs but wonder if that might be pushing it a bit. I have had a few stalls but have just stayed on track. I love my new shape - my tummy is not flat but I am planning on fixing that soon!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
