With the effectiveness of GLP-1 medications finally treating the underlying disorder (a GLP disregulation) bariatric surgery (like gastro bypass) looks like the dark ages. Might as well be drilling holes in their head.
I kinda feel bad for the people who were convinced to get it, having a perminantly deformed and broken digestive system and not fixing the underlying hunger issues...
It appears that after being stuck within 5 pounds of my lowest weight for the past 2 months or so, I've started dropping again. 278.6lbs now, my first time under 280. Again, we were expecting that I would level off at 300lbs, so this is great news. 261 pounds down total since the start of this journey.
But even ignoring the number, my body has continued to change. I bought this shirt last year partially to judge the quality of the shirts on Aliexpress before I go nuts buying game shirts. But I also bought it as a goal, knowing it wouldn't fit me at the time. Today, it fit me well enough to wear it out for the first time. Every time I go to pick up the shirt, my brain says "there is no way I could ever wear this" and I am shocked by how small it is... and yet... this.
I'm terrible at the selfie thing but I think I'm pretty happy with this at 44 years old.
I'm a game release specialist working on the Anvil Pipeline at Ubisoft Montreal. I've been working in #gamedev since 2005 on consoles/PC and mobile platforms. I've been a gamer and playing #videogames my entire life and actually doing a lot of #retrogaming and #emulation. Very interested in #gamepreservation and #arcade games and arcade culture. Just started learning some #nesdev as well recently.
I've also recently became interested in #WeightLoss as I've lost 250 pounds in the last year. Feel free to poke me if you're interested in how I've done it or want to know about #BariatricSurgery. I've added a link to my bio to the documentation I received when I had the surgery so that you can get an idea of what to expect: https://cloud.zerojay.com/s/BariatricSurgery
I'm also really interested in everything having to do with the #fediverse. I've collected a bunch of links that are likely to be of interest to anyone from a complete Mastodon beginner, power users and even server administrators that you can find in my bio as well as here: https://cloud.zerojay.com/s/mastodon
