Wow, you look terrific!!

We're built kind of similar and I want my abdomen to disappear like that. Have you been doing ab exercises or is this all a result of working your diet?

Thanks for all the kind words! Sometimes I can't see how much I've lost, and putting the pictures together like that, in the same clothes, really helps.

@@jenpoo , nothing special, advice-wise. I just work the program my doctor gave me as best I can. Oh, and I do use Jergens firming lotion almost daily. Not sure if it helps, but it makes me feel better!

@@Okiebon ,I exercise regularly, but I don't do any special ab exercises. My stomach is the last part of me to gain weight (butt and thighs are always first), and it was the first part to lose.

I've lost 12" in my hips and 11" in my waist. Yes!

      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! 😞
