You're doing so well, and your mindset is very determined (stall or not - it happens to all of us!). You'll get there really soon, man.

Thanks!

Dude...You sound like you have spent some time in the U.S. Your english sounds American!

That is crazy! I am not sure I will lose 110 lbs but if I do somebody better notice! :)

LOLOL 😂. I lost the last pounds during the pandemic and I've been staying home, so family and friends have not seen much of me. That last 30 pounds took me from "on the slimmer side for me" to "I've never been this slim as an adult, ever" territory. And everyone is shocked because they didn't get to see me lose gradually. Sometimes people don't notice right away because it's a gradual change, not because you don't look different.

I am a woman and have high abdomen fat too. It is so embarrassing to me. Anyway, drinking Water and Protein will help the skin sag less but if it is a problem area often it may not be to go until later. My suggestion would be to take photos and also measure...besides being active. I have surgery in a few weeks. My high fat abdomen has been big 50 lbs less so I know it will take time. I may always have a bigger abdomen. After a couple years I do plan on getting liposuction and a tummy tuck...depending on funds. You COULD have abdominal wall separation. It is more common with women who have had multiple pregnancies but I am sure it could happen with a man too. If you lay down you put your 4 fingers around or slightly above the belly button if it feels like there is separation it can be repaired with surgery and some exercises. Some people do go to the physical therapist to get the exercises best suited to them. There are also programs online to help close the muscle separation. The muscle separation makes the abdominals pop out more.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
