This is an interesting topic as my husband and I were just talking about this the other day. Even though I have always thought of my self as a big boned girl I look so small now. Mind you I wear a 6 or 8 now with a med top but the veins pop on my arms and I have one vein I noticed on my forehead. So ya I think you can have a larger frame but will appear petite after losing weight

We have the same starting weight and when I think of where you are now, and the fact that I too could get that small, it is mind boggling to me!! I could be as small as my youngest daughter who I think is skinny and is a size 6! I just cant even imagine!!!! ;)

You are truly my inspiration!

Oh you can do it. I've seen your posts on the boards and you are one determined lady. It is mind boggling... Even now!!! But get ready it seems like it takes forever to lose the weight but when I look back it happened so fast the mind just doesn't have time to catch up

      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?

      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! 😞
