Right on! Look how far you have come too. Im thinking that 145 lbs will be my goal weight. Im 5'5 and think if I go smaller I will look sickly. I got curves too and thick legs so hoping that goes down as more weight comes off.

@Rose1up! yeah the legs are the LAST thing to go down but they do. I've seen yours go down as well. I can't believe i'm trying for 140. but then i can't believe i'm at 160 either. so there's that. i admit i feel obsessive sometimes now. i wake up and do fasted cardio in the morning and weigh myself everyday and fret about loose thighs and tummy but i still feel fat/not small enough most days. it's really weird cuz we all know mental/emotional sides come with it and even if i'm rockin' a size 10 i still feel like a 16 lol. work in progress. we just need to stay on it and not quit! <3

I still feel like I haven't lost weight. Its something we may have a long way to mentally get used to since we have been heavy for so long.

You only look like a "pig" in your mind! You look absolutely fantastic - curvy and healthy! Look back at a before picture and see the difference! Don't let your mind play tricks on you! I am inspired by how well you've done!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
