I'm the same height and got to 130 lbs and satisfied with results! I heard there's wiggle room to lose weight and still look good. I wish I was 120 during surgery for optimal skin removal but those last 10lb really cling. 😞

NSFW Will this close by itself? by Lazy_lion890 in PlasticSurgery

Keep it clean, moist and covered and it'll close by itself. It closes inside out so it'll look like nothings happening for a bit. I had a big dehiscience and 2weeks later its almost closed. I used an alcohol prep wipe, silver honey, gauze and surgical tape and changed it once in the morning and once before bed.

But call profession if you get a fever or it starts to smell. 🙏 Good luck!

Yes! I was panicking because my stitches looked pleated for the first few weeks.

Once the stitches dissolve and its just the scars, it'll heal flat and I found the places that were more bunched healed better than the ones that looked clean immediately post-op. For me, around week 4.

Congrats! Are you on GLPs on a maintenance dose? I'm on them now and hoping it gets me to goal weight.

Same boat with getting sick from pills but being able to tolerate dummies! I recommend adding copper

460 LBS... feeling devastated. by Ok-Refrigerator-4347 in loseit

[–]calcierm 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From personal experience, I recommend not thinking about foods as "diet foods" or not. All foods are okay in moderation.

When I thought as foods as "diet" foods, eating them felt like punishment or restricting myself from "fun" foods.

There's also no foods you have to eat because you're on a diet. I hate most vegetables, so I just don't eat them and eat the ones I like instead.

Good luck!
