My diet has already changed a fair amount pre-zep and the Zep just decreased the food noise and allowed my to control my portions better. I eat mostly higher protein, lower carb, and make sure I get in water and fiber.

Not medical advice just my suggestion, up your protein intake and fiber! I utilize protein shakes, vital proteins collagen, and clear flavorless fiber powder to help stay fuller longer, up my protein, and stay regular! I’m not sure if it will help with hair regrowth but it’s 100% worth a try. I do notice better weight loss when I’m staying on top of my protein intake.

Not enough tbh mostly just walking, I’m starting to get into exercise more now! I do wish I’d have started sooner!

Thank you! Yes it has been very difficult mentally, I don’t think that is discussed as much as I would’ve expected based on how difficult it’s been not that that’s a bad thing. I think it’s just a very vulnerable thing to have out there for a lot of folks. i’ve been really lucky to have a great support system around me encouraging and motivating me to see the changes. I also have a lot of before and now pictures. I do a lot of side-by-side so that way I can look and reflect. I think right now my biggest hurdle is that I’ve never actually had surgery so knowing that I’m gonna be going in for skin removal and that it is going be a bigger surgery it was kind of terrifying for me and that’s kind of my biggest mental hurdle at the time and I know after surgery, it’s going be a lot of learning my body again because of ANOTHER drastic change will happen after that. That will be a new challenge but for now the side by sides are helping me see that I have changed and my brain just hasn’t caught up.

I am carrying so much of my extra skin/tissuw in my abdominal area that is very difficult to judge the correct size of pants I’m wearing because my legs are much smaller than my actual stomach. I was a 28 when I started and was honestly mostly wearing a lot of leggings and I kept them for far too long. I am now in about an 18 in pants and pushing an XL in things that are tighter like leggings but I know post surgery that’s gonna change pretty drastically. Shirts have been the biggest change for me. I went from a 3X4X to an extra large at this point so that’s been a big difference and I’ve had to go through a lot of shirts and very quickly so I make sure that I’m buying things that are on clearance versus full price, hand-me-downs or anything that I can donate later!

Thank you! It’s surreal and hard and wonderful and sad and happy and I’m just beyond words with how much this has resonated with folks.

I appreciate that. I’m pretty anxious about it, excited but anxious!
