I suspect April is cripplingly insecure. I think she can't stand to think about her body and what it looks like for long enough to even consider any of this. She's also extremely lazy and doesn't care enough to pay attention to the small details.
While that may be true, she’s tracking as I’d expect for 3 months post-op. Could be doing better, but I suspect her DS surgery is modified from what surgeons used to do, and isn’t as drastic. She’s started losing hair, and that’s tracking as expected also for the level of weightloss she’s claiming. It’s going to become even more obvious over the next 3 months. How she reacts to losing her pride and joy mane, will be interesting.
She definitely did that before the surgery. Another favorite was she’d pose in locations where she’d look smaller due to her surroundings. She completely stopped posting for months when she was wider than the refrigerator that was behind her at her house.
She freaked out over losing 4 inches of hair. Here is the relevant video.

Whaaaat a fucking snooze. April spends the first 8-ish minutes going on and on about how anxious she is to chop her mop of hair. It's giving her lots of "stress." And she's also doubly "stressed" because she's not looking forward to filming her month update video (yeah, we know...ya gained weight, you whale).
Around 9 min she has her new 'do and is preening in the camera. By the end of the video, she's back to being anxious because she doesn't know what the back of her hair looks like. She wants to know what you think about her hair. Is 95% of this video about her hair? Yes. Yes, it is.
She probably lost about 1 lb of hair, which gives her a much needed leg up in this month's weight loss
Agree. And not denying her (likely temporary) weight loss, just saying she's attempting to make it seem more drastic than it is by using well-known deceptive tricks. She'd be a lot better off doing a fair comparison and showing her actual weight loss than pretending she lost more thru manipulation tactics. That's already a bad sign if she's already trying to trick viewers and likely herself even tho she's supposedly changed her ways.
I believe she's mentioned working at their church, but I don't think she's been any more specific than that because mean boooolie stalkers. Even if she's just volunteering part-time, I guess she's doing more than 90% of the other deathfats, so good on her. At least it's something to distract her from food.
Yeah, I was going to say that I don't think her community post bodes well for her current psychological state. As @I call shenanigans has said, she seems to be losing weight as expected for the type of surgery she had, but I'm wondering if everything has sort of caught up with her mentally and she's having a difficult time with it. Kenny's upcoming deployment is undoubtedly on her mind, especially since she will no longer be able to rely on her coping method of choice: eating to excess. She mentioned visits from family, and even if those are something she looks forward to, it's still a lot of work playing host to out-of-state guests, particularly if one is still getting used to living in a new place oneself.
If anyone were to push the boundaries of a recent weight loss surgery, it would definitely be Ape. She's plateaued.
Agreed. If anything, I think she views the weight-loss surgery as a way to bypass having to deal with her shit, and instead it'll be a magic button that skips past all that icky 'talking about feelings' stuff.

Stupid mormonism.
