Thank you lose it community!

Hey y’all! I’m reporting to you 9 days post op from my abdominoplasty and brachioplasty following a 100lb weight loss!

Now that the pain from the surgery is gone and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I’ve been reflecting on how far I’ve come and how proud I am of myself.

In July of 2019, I made this account out of boredom and wanting to check our reddit after hearing about it for forever. I quickly stumbled upon this community and the intermittent fasting sub and by July 19, I was cleaning up my diet and practicing IF.

The year that followed saw me finally sticking to a plan and losing weight steadily. I truly changed my habits and started to enjoy eating healthy and cooking my meals. By July 2020, I had lost around 100lbs!

I knew before losing weight that I would have loose skin, because I had been big my whole life and had an “apron” belly since I was around 12 years old. So my skin elasticity was shot! Early 2021 is when I decided to start the process to have my loose skin removed. As a 21 year old, I felt cheated out of the body I had worked so hard for.

So I’m here now, after maintaining my loss for over a year, finally post op from loose skin removal. I’m still pretty bruised and swollen, but I love my results already! It’s surreal to not have my old belly- i’m still a little taken aback every time I remove my compression garment!

To everyone who might be reading this at the very start of your journey, YOU CAN DO IT!! My journey started with a simple thought of, “What would happen if I didn’t quit this time?”
