It’s been a few months since my last post so I figured I would update everyone. I have hit the point of “over shooting my end goal”. That’s how the doctor put it last week. Now I have to gain weight. I’m 136 pounds, which doesn’t sound bad but that combined with a fat mass % of 13.3% is apparently not good. So now they want me to eat 1600 to 1800 calories a day to gain some. They (my doctor) spoke with my psychiatrist and she agreed to take me off my
Wellbutrin because apparently with a very low fat% it can cause seizures. Who knew. I also earned myself another referral to my therapist. Because I still have a shit ton to work out. Anyways here’s some then and now pictures for you guys!

I am wanting to get my hair cut to what it is in the pictures below but my current length is not quite there yet. I’m about 3/4 inch to an inch shorter. Is there a way I can still achieve this cut without it looking hideous from being too short.

I’ve added pictures for reference. I’m 5’6” and 143 pounds. My highest weight was 311 pounds. I had GastricBypass November 4th 2024. Most days I still see myself as the first picture and I really focus on the weight loss and muscle gain. But then I have days like today where I look at the 4th picture (taken this morning) and think “maybe everyone is right and I’m starting to become unhealthy looking.” I still see a weight management specialist on top of my surgeon and therapist. She wants me to start going to therapy more often for my body dysmorphia. She said she would feel okay if I lost another 7 pounds even tho I don’t need to and the 7 pounds is pushing it but if I go lower than that then she will start to worry. The last time I used her Bio impedance Scale I was at 146 pounds. 109 pounds of that was muscle, 6.6 pounds was bone, and 30 pounds was fat. My visceral fat went from being a 15 in the beginning to now it’s at 2. My body fat % is currently at 21% and she wants me to keep it above 18%. She also wants me to start eating 1500 calories a day which is truly hard for me because most days I’m lucky to get 900 calories in much less 1500. A big part of me doesn’t see why I need to slow down on the weighloss and I’m terrified of regaining but today I felt maybe I do need to slow it down. Anyways that’s my rant/concern. What do you all think?
