There's that moment during weightloss when I notice- like really notice- that my waist is curved way in on the sides. There's my waist! No denying it.

I noticed it a couple weeks ago but just catching a quick glance in the mirror in a rush to get ready to go.

When I looked, really looked, well datum! My waist looks pretty good on me. It curves way in.

I'm curvy- but not in a fat-way. :)

My waist is quite a bit higher than I thought it was.

My belly button is lower than I thought it was, too, no wonder after 2 C-sections and a couple rounds of weightloss.

That's probably why I thought my waist was lower; because they tell you to measure your waist around your belly button, or just near it. Also, I'm petit, so maybe I thought my waist was lower to the ground, like me. ha

Who knew?

Now I know where my waist is- after all these years lol

Miaoreo,

I hear ya about one more surgery.... I have body issues that will need another surgery too

You can get your sides to suck in without surgery.

Make an appointment with a good doctor of physical therapy and tell them you want a defined waist and whatever other issues you want to correct. They'll be able to give you exercises that address your specific body issues.

Different from a body trainer, Doctors of PT also factor in your individual medical/health issues and devise a program to meet your individual needs working around and/or strengthening your weak spots to help you bring it all together- without surgery or until you're able to have the surgery.

      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.

        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?
