Encouragement!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give some encouragement/a sweet word:

I know this Reddit community can be hard. Seeing people lose more weight than you, in shorter amounts of time can be incredibly discouraging and disheartening.

But just know that no matter what weight you’ve lost- be proud of yourself for making a change and having surgery in the first place. You could have done nothing; let the weight grow and life decrease, but you made a change and that’s worthy of recognition and praise!

I’m proud of each and everyone one of you! From 0.5 lbs lost to 100+!!

8.5 months post surgery!

This is me (23F) 8.5 months after surgery. I seriously cannot even believe I used to be “that” big. This surgery changed my life.

Getting rid of scars post surgery. TW: Scars and Nudity

So, after surgery, I unfortunately suffered from really bad scarring and keloids. I’ve been to the dermatologist for it and aside from injections, they recommended silicone sheets. I’ve been using silicone sheets consistently and have noticed small changes, but nothing drastic enough to feel comfortable showing my belly. I also started to use bio-oil when my sheets are off (I do 5-7 days on, and 1 day off where I apply the oil) I’d love your tips and trips.
