what was losing weight for top surgery like? how much did you weigh before and how much have you gained since?
it was a mixed bag, i didn’t find the actual act of working out and dieting as difficult as the lost libido associated with it for me. i was already fairly active at the time because of my job so it was more of a matter of focusing on eating well and cutting out sugar and stuff and doing light workouts in my free time lol. i really also did not like how a lot of the people around me (coworkers or customers specifically) constantly commented about my weight loss in a positive way 😗 it was an extremely stressful year for me in general so that probably played into it, but i feel so much better now!
basically, an entire timeline would be that around 2021 i was at my highest weight of 315, went through a lot of stuff and after that i kind of idled around 285ish for years, mainly bc i was never truly in the best situations to be focusing on gaining. when i decided to pursue top surgery i had already lost down to like 275, and i believe by the time i got the surgery i was around 238 preop! so i was 233 post op after they cut off the boobs, lol. that was april 1st!
at this point i’ve gained over 70lbs since april 1st :-) i have a full weigh in vid on my of but i am over 300lbs again!!!! <3 which feels so good considering i worked for years to try to hit 300 again and couldn’t bc of life circumstances. now im actually able to fully focus on gaining a bit and it definitely feels like all my hard work paid off!
so yeah, 70+ lbs in 4 months and 2 weeks? i’m hoping i can hit 100lbs gained this year 💪🏽 at least? 👀
