Entering Maintenance Mode On Weight Loss Meds + Addressing "Ozempic" Craze Backlash

[@DiannelLaird]

It’s no one’s business what you do with your own body. They have no right to comment on it, period. You do what you want with your body, Sarah and don’t let anyone tell you what to do with yourself.🤗🇨🇦 Healing vibes sent your way.

[@conservativemama3437]

She’s literally talking about it herself -calm down

[@DiannelLaird]

@ she can talk about it all she wants to. She was also talking about the nasty comments she gets. It’s her body and she has the right to choose what she wants done. You’re the one who has got their knickers in a knot!

[@loveandgutstv]

“Rights” are irrelevant. People aren’t just commenting randomly. She invited people along on the journey from the beginning. She shared that she was using mounjaro etc. naturally people have questions. She doesn’t have to answer them, but obviously she was open to the fact that people were going to have questions, or she wouldn’t have bothered shared the info. AND You can’t be in the public with the expectation people aren’t going to make comments about you.

[@TG-fq6vy]

Sarah is willingly talking about it.

[@DiannelLaird]

I’m not talking about you I’m talking about the rude people. You all are showing me your colors.

[@DremaLJ]

I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS, Sarah! Try to ignore the negative comments. People feel way to free to criticize others for what they do in what they are sure is in their best interest. You just keep doing you! I think you’re fabulous!! 💜💜💜

[@Greyfort777]

I am now 66 years old and I've been a junk food addict all my life. Besides being morbidly obese, I now have diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and asthma. It does catch up with you. Keep it up, Sarah, in taking care of yourself. It will be so worth it. No chocolate bar is worth shortening your life. Good luck with your surgery.

[@TheSquirrelgirl55]

Well said. I am almost 70 with several conditions of what you listed . My DR finally convinced me to get on Ozempic for my diabetes last May. I am down 60 pounds and my lab work is greatly improved. We all have to seek what is best for us. Sarah is so smart to make changes I wish I had made decades ago.

[@gc0819]

You have upped your gig in so many ways. Your self care shows, you look less stressed and very healthy, as in glowing. Your studio reflects your changes. It is classy and minimalistic. I have made a similar journey and I found it to be equally complicated. Thank you for sharing!

[@ukmary1968]

Congratulations. I’ve lost between 50-60 pounds on 5 mg of mounjaro. My labs are perfect, blood sugars too. I’m starting PT in a few weeks when I kick this virus. I think you look fantastic. I hope that you are healthier than ever in 2025. I hope things go well in surgery

[@MellyMel_77]

I am currently on my own weight loss journey. I had bariatric surgery, the bariatric sleeve just six weeks ago. It's definitely not the easy way out the way people think. I am thriving, and I am healthy, and that's what i'm thankful for!!! Everyone has a different journey. You're doing great!!!🎉❤

[@aspectglad1272]

Thank you for being so vulnerable and for sharing your story. Congratulations! Your health journey is a huge accomplishment. I’m feeling very inspired by your story. I’m on a health journey myself right now. PS I enjoy your content very much. Keep it up! 😊

[@homeschoolmom8804]

You don’t have Ozempic face. I’m excited for you to get your mommy makeover. I have had 4 kids and I think I have earned the right to be comfortable in my body after the sacrifices my body has made to create, grow, and sustain 4 other humans. Proud of you for being transparent and not feeling shame for using the tools at your disposal to reach goals. Wishing you all the best!

[@karihouke974]

Thanks Sarah, appreciate the honesty. Post-menopausal, carb/sugar dependent, and always-eating-to-over-full I’m looking forward to going on this journey soon.

[@homeschoolmom8804]

❤It has been life changing for me! I used to be unable to ignore food. I would eat food that didn’t even taste that good. Wishing you the best on your journey!!

[@pinkfix777]

Me too! 54, had tons of food noise, carb sugar dependence and post menopause extra weight gain. 5’3 was 207. One year later, 140 and heading towards maintenance. No more cravings. Peace of mind. I did the work and took the suggestions. I did lose strength and had fatigue on and off but working on that now. It’s a journey!

[@karenday7504]

I am glad you are speaking openly about your weight loss surgery. My sister lost a lot of weight and she did the same "mommy makeover" you are doing. She was quite sore for a few weeks. She had to cancel going to a NFL game with me due to all the walking, so make sure you don't overdue it. Pace yourself! In the end, she said it was worth getting the lose skin removed. Just not for a month right after I am on Zepbound and lost 20+ pounds with about another 30 to go. I don't regret it at all.

[@marshawilliams3430]

I am diabetic and also on Ozempic. I lost 30 pounds since April. I have about 40 pounds to go. I don't regret it and don't care what others opinions on about it. I'm healthier. I used to have fatty liver, I don't anymore and my A1C went from 7.9 to 5.3. It has worked wonders for me!

[@kenja6569]

Congratulations!!!! Love it and yourself!

[@cindymartin6739]

I wish you all the best with your surgeries. Thanks so much for openness throughout this process. You look great!

[@jessieuhlenbrauck6961]

I am with you Sarah with this topic. I am working on myself right now . Down 30lbs since July. It is very slow for me but I will take it! I have 70 to go. It can be hard especially when you are your own worst critic. I am very guilty of that. Thank you for sharing your story and your truths ❤it really helps people like me❤

[@jillm.1108]

You do you, always. It may not be what everyone would choose (including myself), but you get to choose your own path, and it’s honestly no one’s business but yours. Congrats on your personal journey.

[@deborahkerr4390]

GOOD. FOR. YOU. Sarah. Your success was one of the reasons I'm on the same journey since Nov./24. The people who criticize are being self righteous busy bodies. I think you look great, but I thought you looked great before as well. It's your body, your choice and you don't need to justify the why. I'll continue to follow your progress as I work towards my own goal. You are inspiring and I thank for your honesty and intelligent take on this. Bless, girl.

[@amgleeson]

I am so happy for you and great job at taking the steps in the direction you need to go for your health. I need to do it too and am working on incorporating strength training and more movement into my life,.Thank-you for addressing the hypocrisy around weight loss, body shaming and weight loss drugs. Much love to you

[@bunnydannels7591]

You have inspired me to get serious about my weight. I just started a GLP-1 each week. One down! Much easier than I thought it would be. I have had the nausea and vomiting, but anti-nausea pills are working great. I will be going for 70 pounds less. You gave me courage. You look amazing! ❤

[@munchie2u]

Very happy for you that you had a successful weight loss/getting healthy journey. Good luck on your maintenance stage😊. Looking forward to your updates🤗.

[@marymarmolejo6508]

Thank you for what you share, the makeover is necessary for when you do work out more, the makeover will make you want to tone, you got this!!!

[@erinw2290]

I appreciate your honesty and keeping us in the loop on your journey. I think you look amazing, but I thought the same before also. It’s so important for your health though and that’s what matters. 2024 was crazy for me. I started the year taking wegovy and I was nauseated a lot but I did lose weight slowly. Then I was diagnosed with cancer. Going through radiation I could barely eat and I lost weight really quickly. Through chemo I was able to eat more and now at the beginning of this year there’s been no cancer detected-yay! But my appetite has come back, along with bad eating habits and I’m gaining again. I have 6 more doses of wegovy I guess I will take but insurance doesn’t cover it anymore so after that idk. I’d love to get to a point where I’m just maintaining like you!

[@kenja6569]

Hang in there. Fight the urges and soon that food might seem not as urgently craved as before. Congratulations on your battle with cancer

[@annietasker214]

Thanks for the update. You look so happy 😊 hope your surgery goes well

[@TheForestCrone]

Aww, you look great! Congrats on taking control and doing what you want with your body, I think that's exactly how it should be and the people who have something negative to say can zip it. You're amazing!

[@dutchgirl1926]

I am so very proud of you!!! I’m 64 years old and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes April 2024. I also have Multiple Sclerosis. I was put on Mounjaro 4-4-24 and as of today I have lost 70 pounds. Hurray . My A1C went from 6.6 to 4.9! I am having severe hair loss and big red itchy welts where I give my injections. Some red marks are still there after 1 month. I never had these welts before. It’s almost like I am developing an allergic reaction to Mounjaro. Unfortunately I’m going to have to stop Mounjaro. I still have maybe 10 pounds to go. I’m super nervous about stopping but I have to have faith that I can do this on my own. Again I am so proud of you ❤

[@adventureinourrv2986]

You go girl!!! Love that you’re sharing your journey. ❤

[@cathyferran7291]

Sarah, your glowing and love your new hair style its so cute and adorable , now I sound like your mom but i am 54 and so proud of you and I need to do the same and you have inspired me and always love your content too 💖💖

[@JenSings2025]

Great job! You should be proud of your accomplishment! Best of luck on the surgery! We’re rooting for you!!

[@craftilady]

You look great Sarah and I’m very happy for you! I wish I’d been able to do it when I was younger. I have friends who have had the surgery, follow doctors advice, don’t overdo, get plenty of rest. I had a breast reduction and when I didn’t get enough sleep the pain was bad. Clarify directions, wear your compression pieces as directed. Listen to your body when it says rest. I hope you have amazing results!

[@kenja6569]

I also lost 75 pounds (but slowly over 3 years). I still have some loose skin, even doing it slowly, but I’m happy I am in regular women’s size clothing!! The clothes are cuter and more available. I personally love looker thinner and healthier. Be proud of yourself!! I sure am. Don’t care if anyone else thinks so! 😝

[@susanrupright4793]

You are looking good. I have been following your weightloss journey and look forward to what comes next. My daughter had a mommy makeover a few years back after having babies for 4 other families (6 of them) and didn't have too many problems after. Just take things slow. Slow down. Take care of you. You can hang up your cape for a few weeks. Thank you for being a bright spot in my life.❤️❤️❤️

[@9Gin9]

You go girl! Good luck on your surgery.

[@krystaleverett5197]

I'm getting close to 50 lbs down using tirzepatide since July. I have not seen my weight start with a "1" since I was a literal teenager. I still have a long way to go but for the first time in my life, I have seen the scale move in the right direction. I didn't have an unhealthy relationship with food or even eat tons but my body has messed up hormones that refused to let any of those calories go anywhere but my gut. Congratulations on your success and so happy to see you take action to prevent issues that we are likely to experience at a size so much bigger than we should be. Good luck on the surgery! I hope to be able to tuck things up at some point too.

[@elizabethmurphy5256]

Hi Sarah, you do not have to read or listen to my input but I am a Sister Wives follower and I like you. I spent most of my life with weight issues and discovered eating plant based allowed me to lose 155 pds and have more energy than I ever had in my younger years working and raising my 3 children. I didn’t use weight loss drugs or surgery but if I could have I definitely would have. Just wanted to say that exercising daily (which I now have the energy to do) solved any need for cosmetic surgery. Perhaps if I was younger I might have made a different decision. I am so high on life since getting off of multiple medications that a little hanging skin on my upper arms doesn’t bother me. I think because you are young enough to have good elasticity you probably don’t need surgery. But honestly, you be you and do what makes you happy. Thanks for listening.🤗

[@nicolestuder7130]

I appreciate your openness and honesty in your journey.

[@ConnieTrujillo-gy2tm]

I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation about twenty years ago. I best thing I did for myself. You will be sore but try to gently stretch your body to heal better. It hurts but in a good way. Congrats!! 🎉

[@morganc0]

Thank you for sharing!! I’m on wegovy and down around 60 lbs so far and have some more to go (my total weight loss goal is about the same as yours!). I hope your surgery goes well and that it’s all you want it to be!! You go girl! Congrats!!

[@maraharvey4511]

Good luck with the surgery!

[@AprilShowers73]

I’m really proud of you, Sarah! I started on my weight loss journey Oct 30 2023. I was not a candidate for GLP1’s as I had a fluke case of pancreatitis after having my gallbladder removed. So I opted for weight loss surgery. More specifically gastric sleeve on March 21 2024. I have lost 116 lbs total. I have like 10 lbs to my surgeon’s goal. But personally I am fine where I am at now. It’s not easy. And people often say I took the easy way out by having surgery. That couldn’t be further from the truth!

[@CraftyAuntNan]

Amazing. Good for you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sweetnsalty4602]

You look great!! I lost about the same amount as you and I feel the same way about the strength training. I just rejoined the gym and I’m doing it now but I wish I would’ve focused on the muscle loss from GLP-1s. Still would have gone on this journey either way! I’m so excited for your mommy makeover and to see how it goes for you. Eventually, I hope to do the same thing!! 🎉💜💜

[@sweetnsalty4602]

Ps @realiteasquad I hope you see my comment above, but I also wanted to tell you at the end of November I ran into Jeanelle (sp?) at the airport! We took a pic she was soooo sweet!! 💜

[@Gumby-Pokey]

Good luck GF! You can do it. ❤😊

[@VideoData-m2e]

Thank you for the video 📺 and that you for being vulnerable. Congratulations on your success this past year. I have been on Zepbound since October and it has changed my life! 💊💉

[@JodiWaterson]

Wow I knew you looked lighter, but 95 lbs. amazing. I have been on Wegovi and have lost 40 and am now getting off of it and I am so worried. Perfect timing for your video thank you. I love getting dressed now, clothes fit so much better but I lost a lot of muscle mass. Especially my behind.it’s never been flatter in my life. But now that I have lost the weight I need to start toning. I’m very thankful for the help the injection gave me with my appetite and am not sure how I could have stayed so strong without it

[@JackieKnox-oo4zl]

Great message! 🎉 I'm an plus size gal and I don't choose to do the weight loss shots. In my opinion, people need to do what's best for them. (Of course, as long as it doesn't hurt someone else) I enjoy your videos. Thanks 🤗

[@nicoles7126]

I'm with you. I'm seeing some of my favorite youtubers shrinking and I don't feel like I relate as well. 😣 Something about these shots gives me pause. I'm glad so many people are experiencing positive life changes! But I definitely don't think it's for me.

[@debbihardesty9234]

You look great! I love your channel & I’m happy for you!

[@janebute2541]

You are completely correct. I am o. Ozempic for DM2 & have lost 35lbs & have plateaued. I need to tighten up my eating. And walk more. Good luck on your procedures. Much love.

[@mimioftwo8863]

Everything you said is spot on. The medical breakthrough of this life-saving drug has been amazing. Considering that there may come a time when these drugs will be available to everyone who needs them, it can mean that no one would have to suffer with obesity. You should be so proud of yourself, Sarah. This comment is coming from a 73 year-old grandmother who has struggled with weight issues. I have not used a GLP1 medication, but I absolutely would if it was necessary. You have shown great strength in doing this publicly. And it’s not too late to begin strength training!! Remember that some of the negativity comes from petty jealousy. Hold your head up and be happy and proud of what you’ve accomplished! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@chiatt26]

I can speak on the surgeries you are having, not from personal experience but rather professional. I have been a surgical technologist and first assist in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery for over 17yrs. The procedures you are having done are quite common and generally safe (of course you know there’s always risks) I could write paragraphs about your surgery but I think what I would prepare you for the most is the most discomfort you will feel is going to be from the liposuction (how they harvest fat for grafting). Where they harvest from (usually abdomen, thighs or flanks) will make the surrounding muscles very sore as well as from swelling. Which brings me to my next point. They will give you either an abdominal binder or girdle (surgeon preference) and I cannot stress enough to wear it as instructed. It will feel uncomfortable but is key to reducing swelling, which is a considerable source of discomfort. Feel free to reach out if you have other question about anything i said. I am not a doctor so there is plenty that I wouldn’t speak to or would defer that back to your doctor but I would answer what I can Hope all goes well, and while I think you’re beautiful now, I am excited for you to have the outcome you are wanting

[@NM-ub6ml]

My sister had a tummy tuck... apron removal after weight loss. She said it wasn't harder than her emergency c section... and it was quite bearable with the correct pain killers. Her planned second c section was pretty pain free. Good luck and I hope yours is as positive an experience as hers. She had lower abdomen not upper and lower. Nothing else though. It was after weight loss but also to just help re position the muscles after two big babies and remove the stretched out skin. She says it really is positive.. helps her exercise without discomfort and her confidence so I hope it is the same for you!

[@LO-gp3bv]

I’m with you. I am struggling with three weeks ago HighMark changed the qualifying eligibility post hoc. So I can’t afford it out of pocket so I guess I’m cold turkey off the meds. I’m 55lbs down and hope I can keep up with the maintenance and loose just 10lb more. This has changed my life and I hope the best for you. And you look great.

[@madelineann9269]

You do you girl !

[@pattirogers1205]

Hi Sarah. Thanks for sharing your story. I am on a similar path with Mounjaro. Down just 40 in 11 months. I’m big into strength training and I have had a tummy tuck. I feel great and wonderfully confident. Happy to share recovery dos and don’ts with you😊

[@bethclifford4314]

Wow your honesty is very refreshing. Please just keep trying to be healthy. Some of us are just a little jealous we can't get it. Jealousy can bring out the ugly in ppl. I want to be healthier which is why my dr recommended it but I can't afford it and insurance won't cover it. I lost my husband in October I didn't eat for at least 3 weeks. I lost 15 lbs but as soon as I consumed even a little tiny bit of food 5 lbs came back. Obviously my body needs some serious help to work better. I'm not in a good place rn but maybe eventually I will get to where I can take control better.

I think having conversations about the consequences of these drugs is great. But the consequences of not taking the drug are so personal and equally real and thank you for sharing your journey. I am glad you didn't have any of the more serious side effects like a paralized stomach. Im sure you and your doctors vigilance on your bodys response to the drug was such a blessing. I hope anyone weighing these pros and cons has a good doctor who cares.

[@mamakat1072]

I appreciate you sharing your journey. I am surprised you're able to have cosmetic surgery. I've had friends who have lost weight, and the doctor told them they had to maintain their weight for anywhere from 6 minths to a year. Good for you and I hope you're feeling wonderful! Maybe this will be me someday.

[@teena4rl211]

You look wonderful; congratulations! Nicole Collet on KZbin lost 130lbs and kept it off 10 years now. She talks about the emotional and psychological issues around weight loss. Her husband, Kyle, did too. They've had a channel for several years. I lost 100 lbs many years ago and have kept it off. Its wonderful to find community online, regardless of how the weight is lost. I did not have the skin removal surgery but know people who did with good result. if you can afford it, go for it!

[@purpleprose78]

So I needed the fat positivity and body positivity movements so I could stop hating my body. I was trying to lose weight and I just couldn't. I'd hit insulin resistance and no matter how much I exercised and watched my eating habits, I stayed the same. I have diabetes and changing my diet and how I exercised was for that and my A1C got better but the weight didn't. The doc wanted to try Jardiance so I got on that and the weight fell off. I've lost about 50 lbs and I'm at a good weight for me. I'm still overweight and I'm never going to be super thiin, but I feel good and look good at around 170-ish lbs. I've maintained this for almost 2 years now so I'm pleased. The fat and body positivity movements gave me the ability to do movement for the sake of movement and eat more vegetables for the sake of eating more vegetables and doing that before the meds meant that I was in a great place for the weight to fall off with less effort once I started the Jardiance. So I'm grateful for those movements and hope people continue loving themselves enough to take care of themselves even if that means taking meds.

[@karenrner]

Best of luck with your surgery! 💐

[@aprilstearns9104]

[@krnstc]

*************** I can't tell you how much I appreciate your vids on this subject and what you are doing for maintenance. I started Mounjaro which is the Canadian equivalent to Zepbound. I am 67 and the elasticity of my skin is significantly less than it was in my 20's & 30's. I swore last time it would be my final diet. I kept the weight off for 10yrs until I developed a chronic illness and the medication was not only ineffective it assisted in 100+ lbs in less than 6mths. I had given up. I was already eating pretty clean with no added stuff like condiments sweets & starches and that didn't change but I was pretty much immobile. Took me about 18mths of listening to stories, pro's and con's as well as some research before I bit the bullet lol Also it's not covered by ins here unless you are diabetic so it's an out of pocket expense - so worth it!! Because my mobility is limited the weight is slower to come off. I've been on since the end of Aug and have only lost 30lbs - but at least they are coming off!! Thank you very much for these videos - I so appreciate listening to your experience with the process. I will only do surgery if the excess skin becomes problematic.

[@crazymemaw3484]

These shots were created for help with diabetes...not weight loss. Weight loss was a bonus but they need to be for diabetes first before being used for weight loss.

[@patricialyncook8959]

CONGRATULATIONS!

[@unluckynumber7]

Sarah, you are gorgeous! Before and after. If you don’t mind sharing, how did you choose Zepbound over others (Wegovy, Ozempic, etc.)? And did insurance cover any percentage of it? And will insurance cover any percentage of your surgery? Best of luck & a speedy recovery on the surgery!!

[@melissacoviello2886]

I do think this is all so much more nuanced than just weight loss or body positivity. I do think people are out of line for shaming people for using ozempic (or similar meds) to lose weight or saying they’re getting “ozempic face”. I also personally think plastic surgery after a significant amount of weight loss is probably the healthiest option, because likely it’ll help a person’s relationship with their body and also there is no other way to get rid of the lose skin. Personally my biggest issues with weight loss medication is the side effects, the lack of supply and the scarcity for those who are diabetic who need for weight loss and to control their sugar. I am biased as that’s why my husband needs it. I am also so concerned about the side effects that some have. I think it’s a valid medical need for some people to lose weight and it’s not just vanity, but also enjoying your new look doesn’t mean you weren’t body positive before. I think it’s a very complicated conversation overall. I’m glad you’ve reached your goal, I hope you’re able to find a way to not need the medication long term, while still being able to maintain your healthier lifestyle.

[@kenja6569]

Very nice post! I agree you can be body positive both before and after weight loss!!

[@WendyFilice-p9i]

Good for you for wanting to be healthy 🙏❤️

[@Gypsyfox78]

Very nice to see you talking about this, and the shame culture around it. I have type 2 diabetes, I was on the standard diabetes medication and it helped put it wasn't until ozempic it leveled out. Before starting it I was working out 2-3 times a week for 2 years and lost 25 lbs which was great but couldn't get down past 190 and was still obese (by bmi metrics). This was pandemic times so this helped me along the way with another 25 I am still considered overweight but I like my size now but I wish I had done more strength training as well, nice thing about that is its never to late to start on that side of it 😊

[@pjt3887]

I was watching The top internist who's done considerable research on the medications and she is a huge proponent of people taking a small dose She found in her research that it has a rebound effect on her microchondria is much happier She had very severe case of psoriasis and through taking the baby dose of the injectables It cleared up her psoriasis for aching joints and a bunch of other issues that she was having So I'm looking at doing that cuz I am type 2 and I am on the path of metabolic syndrome. You look phenomenal and do not let other people project their body dysmorphia onto you there's a lot of women out there doing that. It's sad how many of them are in their 50 60s and their mothers did it to them and they're turning around doing it to others. 😢

I haven't had this kind of surgery but my office buddy does lymph massage on people after the "mommy makeover" and it really helps the healing process. I would recommend that.

I lost a tremendous amount of weight several years ago in an unhealthy way. Until that time, I was invisible. After the weight loss, I struggled with the attention I received. My weight has been stable for the most part since then. Unfortunately, my upper arms look really creepy. I refer to them as my chicken wings. I’ll have to follow your lead and do some strength training. Best of luck with the next phase. You have so much to be proud of!

I lost 102 lbs on ozempic and I feel so much better . I do t care if I look old because I already am . I have lost weight so many times in my life and this time it was so stress free and easy . I suggest anyone that needs to lose weight to do it .

[@dietcokeaddict83]

Im so proud of you!!! Im about half way to my goal!!

[@Missbusybee2010]

It’s cool that you’re being transparent about your journey instead of acting like you lost weight from going vegan or doing Pilates….

[@audriebrinegar9632]

Sarah keep doing what makes you healthy. I remember when you started and posted a video you seemed like you were desperate to lose the weight. People will have something to say about anything I am sure you got lots of hateful comments when you were at a heavier weight. I hope to do a mommy makeover one day too. Love you!

[@MO-5678]

Good for you, I think the way you look now is good for you. As long as you are doing this for the right reasons then F everyone else's opinions.

[@tarabourgeois5807]

Good for you Sarah! You do not have ozympic face.

[@sashabell4700]

My daughter had negative issues with ozempic. I can’t recall what but she knew to stop taking it. But others take it and no issue. Glad you didn’t go that route due to it’s not fool proof to not do harm. Even had you used it, it’s still your choice to make without judgement.

You look younger and more and more beautiful each video!!

Everyone out here shooting themselves up to lose Weight and I recently had a terrible health condition that made me drop a LOT of weight, and it’s not over. I’m like struggling to KEEP weight on at the moment. But since the shots are so popular, randos keep asking me if I take that shot. I’m like UGH no, I’m chronically ill. 😂 You look great Sarah! ❤ Also I have the loose skin and flabby arm thing too. I’ve never been a thin girlie anyhow so this whole thing for me is wild AF, wearing size 4 jeans and I’m like what is even happening 😂 So naturally the flab arm thing is bugging me as well as my belly (oh god😂) so I’m curious to know how your surgery goes.

Kail Lowery from Teen mom just had these surgeries and she documented some of it. Or at the least talked about why she's doing it and after thoughts.

[@tfrazie]

I’m 61. I’ve been thin my entire life. Women have never held back on comments about my weight. “Are you anorexic?” “Bulimic?” “Sick?” “You need a sandwich.” “Being thin makes you look older.” Etc, etc. There’s a definite double standard. I wish you the best on your health quest.

[@karendillon2654]

You look so small. Please don’t loose any more i hope you met your goal. I was worried about you last week when watching your show. I wrote this while commercials are running.

[@littlestz]

My suggestion to anyone going into surgery is to get a copy of the book to prepare for surgery heal faster. It was given to me 30 years ago when I underwent my first endometriosis surgery I’ve had many surgeries cents and this book is wonderful to talk about preparing your heart body mind for the trip you’re about to take.

I had 2 kids, 2C sections, breastfed pumped gained tons of weight. Got divorced lost tons of weight. I had the Mommy makeover worth every penny. If you don't have a recliner, get one. You want sports bras that snap in the front and Velcro girdles are the easiest.

[@cathyemms5083]

Really good discussion, and you do not have Ozempic face. You look normal, and you look good. Congratulations!😊
