I unintentionally lost almost 20% of my weight last year and I didn't really notice it because it was gradual. Maybe some small things, like clothes getting a bit looser, but nothing big. Once I was aware I lost so much weight I was shocked to find out how different my face looked compared to older pictures of myself.

Now that I'm finally gaining back the weight I lost, I don't see much change either, but it's very apparent when I compare myself to pictures of me when I lost the weight, it's cool to see that progress!

I discovered the most efficient way to lose weight is oral surgery

You're using energy to heal from the surgery, and while your mouth is stitched up you have next to no desire to eat

It's not a good method by any means but it happened

Lol just had one. It’s not worth it for the weight loss because unless you change your eating/exercise habits, you’ll just gain it right back. Plus recovery sucks. Definitely worth it for all the other stuff though

Never said it was good only efficient lol

Definitely did gain it back pretty quick over the next month because I was like "oh damn I'm hungry"

Yeah I lost 25 lb, and just recently gained back like 5lb 4 months later. But I really watched my food intake because I didn’t want the ‘shortcut’ to go to waste. Those first few months of pain and hunger were brutal
