This is me after losing 180lb I gave birth at 286lbs which was over 40 more than I’d ever been and I couldn’t handle how fast I put it on (about 6 months ) I had a gastric sleeve and finished off on mounjaro. I am 5ft1 and about 125lbs my lowest was 100 (blonde pics) I do have filters on on the after pics will try and find on no filter number 19 has no filter number 20 was me earlier today

Guys stop private messaging me im not interested especially the one saying he’s already ‘used’ one of my pics

Right so I have lost 186lb and maintained for 2 years. I have fluctuated as low as 100lb up to like 130lb im 5ft1 when I was 100lb my stomach was so flat even with loose skin. It went incredibly wrinkled but it laid to a size 6 (US 2) but unfortunately my face and breast ls were gaunt and skin sacks. When im about 130 my face looks great and my boobs do but my belly is huge . This all matters because I want lipo I do NOT want a tummy tuck. It’s very expensive, I am a single mum to a 4 year old that won’t understand she can’t climb all over mummy. And it’s a lot of down time. I also don’t want the massive incision im 40 im not gonna be showing off my belly button anytime soon. I have asked 3 surgeons and they all have said no but I wasn’t allowed to speak to any of them and they’re Turkish/lithuanion. One said it won’t make a difference, one said it’s not safe but not why. All of them said it won’t be a flat stomach and I told them I know that and sent them a pic of me at 100lbs it’s dramatically different the size of my middle. It makes so much sense to me and I don’t get what im doing wrong?

Pics me at my biggest, blonde one is me at 100lb and the pic with the big stomach is 9st something the pretty face ones are me at 9st and the last is my 100lb face so horribly gaunt the purple dress is my 100lb stomach too.

EDIT : now someone has explained about the blood supply I have got my answer. Lipo is a no. I’m not saying 40 is too old for a tummy tuck it’s my own personal cut off anyone that’s got one and had a positive experience I love that for you. Wasn’t trying to shit on anyone’s dreams but we all have things that matter to us. Wasn’t trying to offend anyone maybe I should have left that reason out! I say the same about having another kid but it’s because im a tired 40 year old. Not because its too old for a child

Had a gastric sleeve Nov 2023 lost 70lb n then stalled for 6 months I then lost the rest on mounjaro im 5ft1 my heaviest was 286lb n my lowest 102lb but I look best about 120lb

So I had a sleeve Nov 2023 I lost about 70lbs (my goal was 168lbs of weight loss im 5ft1) then my weight loss stalled. I waited 6 months and then got on mounjaro I broke a lot of rules especially when it came to doses. By July 2025 I had lost about 171lbs and just stopped. By Oct I had gained 20lbs so I went back on but instead of taking the max dose of 15mg I did 17.5mg by Nov I was 107lbs again. By Jan you guessed it I was 20lbs heavier again. Went on it by Feb I think. I started putting weight on again so went back on it by June (wanted to lose weight for my holiday) I was taking 20mg but I’ve noticed a significant reduction in suppression etc and I took 22.5mg a day before my holiday and after the first week I was eating loads. Put 14lb on I come home 2 weds a go and the first following Tuesday is when I started mounjaro again I took 22.5mg finishing off my pen and it’s not working! It’s freaked me out tbh. I am losing weight though I was about 130lbs the day I started and now im 124lbs but im just worried because I can eat way more than I have ever been able to eat this early on after a dose. I’ve got an opportunity to buy compound reta or mounjaro again. I’m wondering if anyone out there has struggled to get any results when they’ve got to the high doses of mounjaro and swapped to ret? I have accepted until I can go to therapy regarding my relationship with food I may need long time maintenance. I only have about 12lbs to lose not sure what dose I should try of ret? I’m not here for a lecture about high doses I am notorious for high tolerance to meds when I had my daughter most mums get giving oramorph after a c section I had to be given zomorph which is cancer pain relief. I used to be obsessed with flattening my stomach but my face was horribly gaunt so now im happy with anywhere from 108lbs to 112lbs
