 My doctor told me to drink a glass of water if I feel hungry. I can neither confirm nor deny if this works, however, because I can't stay on the damn wagon long enough to find out. I make incredible progress, lose my will, and regress so quickly. I have some medical conditions that make it so I need to lose around 80 pounds - I think about it every single damn day, but I just can't commit.

 A lot of it is personal, but for me I've found that just eating slightly less for meals and continuously downsizing was ideal. I didn't feel hungry as much and that became the new normal. No crazy calorie restrictions or diets just eating less food consistently. On the flip side of that if I ever do a big cheat day or drink a lot I'm always really hungry for the next 4-7 days.  Buy it: Funny Who Built The Cages Joe Donald Trump Sunglasses American Flag Shirt  Home:  Handstee

 Yes! This is such an important thing to point out. Your brain is unable to accurately tell you to either eat or drink, so when you need water it will send you signals that you then interpret as “hunger” when it’s really thirst. Or something akin to this, I’m not a bio major. Buy it:   Pretty Wearing A Mask Meme Trollface Conspiracy Theory Shirt  Home:  Handstee

 You haven’t had the munchies? Haha, I am not overweight, but sometimes I just want to keep shoving things in my mouth despite being full. I would see this as almost more of like an addiction type of “hunger” versus what your stomach would feel as actual hunger...if that makes sense? Buy it: Nice Kiss Me Irish Shirt  Home:  Handstee

 That's really interesting to me. I've never struggled with my weight so I can't really imagine how hard it would be to feel hungry in spite of my actual needs. Congratulations, and you look great!

 Do you ever stop feeling hungry? the biggest hurtle for me is learning to get over that perpetual feeling of hunger. i guess my biggest fear is if i go to the task of eating less ill have to live with being in a state of hungry forever. and i guess my motivation to proceed tanks and i go back to my old habits. honestly, quitting smoking cigs after 10 years was easier than quitting bad eating habits.

 But "only" 40 is still a LOT. Especially for shorter people! I'm 6' 149lbs and I agree with you that noticing things for the first time is strange. I'm young and my heaviest weight was 260 in my junior year of high school. I haven't been 149 since maybe 7th grade. I can remember anything but being big.  Buy it: Good I Like Football And Maybe 3 People Quote Shirt Home:  Handstee

 It's just, after probably 15-ish years of being overweight (I'm at the weight I was in middle school and now I'm barely taller and it's better distributed), I'm not used to feeling what a more in shape body feels like. Things that are normal or healthy just feel off, but I guess I can learn to live with them. Buy it: Perfect Juilo Urias Los Angeles Dodgers 2020 World Series Champions Shirt Home:  Handstee

 I'm not thin either (I plateaued at ~26 BMI), so I didn't expect such a stark difference there of all places. Every now and then I get paranoid if it's abnormal, but my doctor would've noticed it during my routine physical. The same goes for my collarbone- I never recall noticing mine, but now it's pretty distinct. Buy it:  Happy I Don’t Crash I Do Random Gravity Checks Sliding Shirt Home:  Handstee

 As someone who only lost 40 recently (I'm short, though, so it was still almost 1/4 of my body weight), I'm still a little weirded out when I feel my ribs when laying down. I always figured that I had enough fat or whatever to not feel them, but now they stick out a little and I can feel them very clearly.  Buy it: Funny Horse I Don’t Have Attitude I’ve Got Personality You Can’t Handle shirt Home:  Handstee

 I've lost around 65 lbs since last xmas, and i'm apparently at a healthy weight for the first time on my adult life. it's so weird that i can feel under some of my bones, and how prominently they jut out compared to before. like i can feel all around my tail bone, and poke under my ribs and stuff. it kinda grosses me out.

 My tailbone started singing yesterday during sit ups and today during Russian twists, which has never happened before. It took me a while to figure out what the hell was going on back there! Gotta build up the booty so you have a bigger cushion. I lost 115 lbs back in college and the tailbone and hip bone thing is real. I started doing some weight lifting to add more muscle since I lost all that fat.

 My advice though. Chose a good plastic surgeon. Research your choices, talk to others. I've seen some shoddy work, but my surgeon was amazing. My scar is almost non-existent. As a guy who lost 70 lbs over the past two years, is it as weird (but at the same time gratifying) to be able to feel your hip bones when you lay down? I sometime catch myself poking them in mild disbelief. Buy it: Awesome Mookie Betts Los Angeles Dodgers 2020 World Series Champions Shirt  Home:  Handstee

 Surgery can be scary, but can also be great. Don't rush into it. Medicine these days is phenomenal, but YOU have to be ready. I'm 42 and lost 50 kgs (110pnds) 5 yrs sgo, and had the belly apron from sll the weight loss. I decided to get a full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Best decision I made. Well worth it. Buy it:   Good Max Muncy Los Angeles Dodgers 2020 World Series Champions T-Shirt Home:  Handstee

 For me it's a little bit of flying squirl arms and thighs. I also look like I fell into a lion's den with all my stretch marks but it's worth it. My brother in law calls them “bingo wings.” I’m not proud of saying this, but the mental image is comedic, especially since I have the beginnings of them...

 Depending on how much weight they lost and how fast they lost it as well as skin elasticity it could be way more than just a little skin. Some people if they lose it super gradually it will tighten itself over time, but most cases when it's over 20-30kg you will probably get loose skin.

 Just for perspective this is what 7 lbs of excess skin looks like. It's definitely still something that most worry about when they lose significant weight. It's not "some" loose skin; it's still never being able to muscle definition or progress in those departments when they exercise, which can take a toll on how well someone keeps the weight off.

 However, there’s been new research out on scarless surgeries and some skin regeneration so hopefully soon in the future people won’t be trading one set of scars for another. Likewise, on the genetic side, some people are so prone to scarring that these new treatments won’t help simply because they have what are called keloids which act differently than normal scars.

 Essentially, yes. The trade off is one set of scars for another. Some people may see their scars fade over time if they have good genes, are vigilant with sunscreen and moisturizer, and utilize dermatology therapies like lasers and dermarolling. Even then, the scars will likely still be a little visible because the layers underneath scars are completely different from “normal” parts of skin.

 It would be hard for others to give insight on if they think it's worth it, $8k could be a good chunk to someone yet absolutely worth it and still completely doable but to someone could be unfathomably expensive. I think that this could be one of the better ways to spend money. If it makes you feel so much better and you can finance it, it is an easy yes in my opinion.

 If I had it done I would probably just have them leave the belly button out lmao. Saves me from having to clean it and reduces the chances of a miss alignment which would trigger me every day . My belly button is offset to the left by a bit. Not because of surgery though, my mom just hates me I guess. Buy it: Happy And The Winner Is Donald Trump In 2020 President Election Vote Shirt  Home:  Handstee

 My Ex had a similar surgery, it was 8k. Although, just the lower stomach and breast lift though, not the vertical line up her stomach or arms, so OPs was probably more. But they did reposition her belly button and nipples. Buy it: Perfect Bulldog I Didn’t Fart My Butt Blew You A Kiss Shirt   Home:  Handstee

 The first week for me was hell, I literally wanted to die. Second week was slightly better. Third week I kind of feel like a person again. Plan on being out of work for 2-4weeks and not being back to normal for longer than that. (I'm week 3 and I still have 3 drains in me. Buy it: Awesome Child Starving Tory Scum Shirt  Home:  Handstee

 You should check out Jordan Shrinks on youtube..she has a bunch of great videos on loose skin after weight loss and answers loads of questions about her skin removal surgeries. udos to you for getting the surgery. Can I ask how long you were “maintaining” at a lower weight before you had skin removed? I’d love to get my excess skin removed but I’m concerned about the recovery time and also my insurance not covering it.

 This happens to me, no surgery necessary. I can scratch a spot on my knee and I'll feel it in my shoulder. It's an intense twingy sensation, almost painful but not quite. I never had that kind of surgery but I also have some "double" spots where I get a sensation in another part of the body.

 All I know is that it was uncomfortable immediately after, I remember he took a bit of time off work following it, but he's great now and glad he did it. I'd text him but its already 3am here and thats a bit of a weird thing to ask out of the blue. Sorry I don't have more than a second hand account of the experience share.

 I have no clue. I don't remember him mentioning anything like that but at the same time I'm also not the type to ask tons of questions about stuff like this, I'm more of a "how are you feeling?" guy and let people tell me what they want to tell.

 Not me but have a relative who had skin removal after weightloss. It isn't exactly a pleasant experience, you are having a portion of essentially your most sensitive organ removed. But from my uncle's words on the experience (been about 3 years), the quality of life improvement long term is worth the temporary pain and discomfort.
