Thank you @GreenTealael. A very interesting read. It raised many of the questions & concerns I had about it.

It’s funny. I grew up in the ‘does my bum look big in this’ era. Twisting & straining to see in a mirror if my ass was too big & dying a little death if I thought it was. (It usually was.) I struggled to understand the whole fascination with making your bum as big as you could via any means when that began. I wonder if one day my saggy non existing ass & saggy breasts will become what everyone desires 😁. Aah, the vagaries of body image.

I never could understand the big butt craze, either.

Oh, so my lack of a butt is why I’m single. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Though I was single when I did & had a hourglass figure too. LOL!!

Ha! No. I often wonder why certain people were singled or coupled and honestly there’s no rhyme or reason to it. However, romance films suggest that your soulmate is probably trying to find you but your schedules are opposite, live in a different part of the world or don’t speak the same language.

      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.

      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! 😞
