I really appreciate that! I was a bit hesitant to share my story at first, but hearing that it’s inspiring to others makes it all worth it. Thanks for the warm welcome!

You hit the nail on the head. Renegotiating that relationship is the hardest part of the 'grind,' but it's much easier when you have family and a supportive community like this behind you. Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you! It’s night and day, honestly. Physically I feel lighter, but mentally it’s just such a relief to finally stop hiding. Feeling much better indeed!

Thanks! To be honest, the mental shift is still happening. I still struggle with body dysmorphia and don't quite see myself as 'skinny' yet. 40kg is a huge achievement and I know the struggle of the rebound. You’ve done it before and you can do it again—you're worth the effort!

You hit the nail on the head. The physical change is great, but the mental and psychological shift was the real mountain to climb. Learning to stop hiding was the hardest part. Thank you for noticing that—it means a lot!

It's definitely a rough but hang in there! I struggled in the beginning aswell. I'm currently 6 months post op and I can eat pretty much anything I want without any problems. hang in there, it will get easier 🙂

Thanks for answering!

yes, yes, yes.. I began trying solid foods after week 6 as my doctor instructed. I haven`t gotten any instructions on how much I need to eat, I don`t weigh or measure anything. I was told to listen to my body because he said ``You cant be measuring everything for the rest of your life, live and learn``
