You're doing so well, and your mindset is very determined (stall or not - it happens to all of us!). You'll get there really soon, man.

Thanks!

Dude...You sound like you have spent some time in the U.S. Your english sounds American!

That is crazy! I am not sure I will lose 110 lbs but if I do somebody better notice! :)

LOLOL 😂. I lost the last pounds during the pandemic and I've been staying home, so family and friends have not seen much of me. That last 30 pounds took me from "on the slimmer side for me" to "I've never been this slim as an adult, ever" territory. And everyone is shocked because they didn't get to see me lose gradually. Sometimes people don't notice right away because it's a gradual change, not because you don't look different.

I am a woman and have high abdomen fat too. It is so embarrassing to me. Anyway, drinking Water and Protein will help the skin sag less but if it is a problem area often it may not be to go until later. My suggestion would be to take photos and also measure...besides being active. I have surgery in a few weeks. My high fat abdomen has been big 50 lbs less so I know it will take time. I may always have a bigger abdomen. After a couple years I do plan on getting liposuction and a tummy tuck...depending on funds. You COULD have abdominal wall separation. It is more common with women who have had multiple pregnancies but I am sure it could happen with a man too. If you lay down you put your 4 fingers around or slightly above the belly button if it feels like there is separation it can be repaired with surgery and some exercises. Some people do go to the physical therapist to get the exercises best suited to them. There are also programs online to help close the muscle separation. The muscle separation makes the abdominals pop out more.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
