Sorry friend, I would not EVER let anyone take pictures of my muffin top. And, 8 weeks post op, my weight loss is showing in my face, boobs, my hips and legs -- but the stomach is always the last to go. I am an apple also.

Good luck on your journey.

Haha I didn't mean just pictures of actual muffin tops, I meant in fitted clothes! LoL basically a before & after pic....I know there are posts specifically before & after but it's a lot of weeding to find the pics!

I would help you out, but I avoided muffin tops like the plague! Lol Stuffed my rolls into mom jeans long before motherhood just so I could cover up my belly! I have before and "durings" on my profile page though :)

I will have to find some "before"pictures once I get home for you and take an after pic... But I can tell you our stats are kinda similar I am 5'6 DOS I weighed 264, my muffin top was awful...I was in a size 18/20 but really probably should have been a 22 or even 24... I wore Spanx to try and hide it every day... I am pretty much an apple on a stick I carried all my weight around my mid section... I am 7 months post op today I weigh 180lbs and I am comfortably in a size 12... I don't have much of a muffin top anymore unless I try to wear a size 10... My legs are still about 2 sizes smaller then I need to fit my mid section but now it seems as if the weight is coming more off my stomach and arms... I lost first from my back, legs, face, neck, side boobs and arms... While I have been noticing a slow down in my weight loss I am starting to notice BIG, no actually HUGE changes in my body FINALLY!

How about you start first by posting a current picture?

A current muffin top picture!? LoL all my pictures are of my face (love iphones front camera) I will take one of my muffin top & post it tomorrow lol it's late now!

I too wear the Spanx type under garments....but it's slowly getting bigger :0( my problem was plus size jeans it was assumed if you had a big stomach you had big thighs & legs so the jeans never fit right, they would fit in the legs & thighs but be a few sizes too small in the stomach!! Got to the point where I just used rubber bands to keep them closed instead of going up a size & sagging (sigh)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
