@ so glad you said that. i have been following a pretty strict no carb no sugar diet but when i looked at Keto diet plans they have WAY more fats than im eating so im trying to incorporate avocados and almonds etc to raise the fat count. :)

There was and probably still is a great documentary on Netflix, sorry but I don't recall the name... It said fats don't make you fat... That obesity in America soared after WWII when the processed food revolution began... It was very interested, they were a team of researchers... I'll see if I can find the name

Why are the robes for like six hundred pound people?. Even the socks are huge!

You aren't very big to begin with though, lol

tummy to tummy comparison lol. 81lbs down. the scars are fading nicely. i don't have a lot of loose skin but there are things sagging. i have a small waist but i still have my stupid FUPA <_< my butt, my boobs, some on the arms and inner thighs are saggy too. i did lift weights for most of the journey which i think helped but i need to tone up big time. i will definitely have surgery if i can afford it and im unhappy at the end. 13269436_264494770570855_539861819_n.jpg13296327_10209147901311917_2067580344_n.

Im down 57 lbs now. I feel like it should be 20 more off but I had another surgery on the 20th of April. Then an ER visit that pumped me up with 2 L of Sodium Chloride. Then a small stall. I still feel like I have a ton more to lose. Just moved out of my house and in a transition house 4 three 3 to 4 months until our new house is built. Then school starts up again on June 6th. So... Im hoping to drop some major weight in 3 more monrhs!

@pr_pitbullgrl. Question for you. Even when you were heavier did you always have a waist? If not or if it has improved to what is in your picture I am all ears as to how to get that shape! You honestly look right now what my fantasy body would be! Did u waist train or do any special exercises? Or do you just have good genes to thank! Thanks!!

I saw that documentary. Theres another one about the Paleo Diet. That Paleo Diet is amazing. I loved it. Lots of cooking and lots of meat eating. Grass Fed meats. Great way to lose weight

I wore a bandage over mine until it healed so my bra did not irritate it.

Me too. I didnt wear a bra for a long time. Right where that upper incision is ... is right at the crease when you sit. It was hard for me to heal and I wore steri-strips to hold it together. It did open up. Becareful with it so it doesnt get infected.

@@goplay94123 i did always have an hourglass of sorts even when i was huge. my waist was my best feature. i can't believe that first photo actually where my stomach is flopping over like that. it's hideous. i haven't waist trained but i might just to make it really small and take the focus off my terrible legs lol.

      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... :(
