I apologize if my pics offend anyone, but I really want people to see how the process has been for me with at least some clothing on and to be honest, the granny panties just dont fit anymore. This is me, 5 months post surgery...still a work in progress.

Don't apologize! You look awesome!!! You should be so proud of yourself and flaunt it a little!! Pix like yours inspire us all! Thanks for putting them up.

you go girl! love you twin!!

You look great!! Keep up the good work

No apologizing is necessary. You need not feel guilty. We will NEVER be perfect, only better than we were and I am sure you feel healthier and have more energy. You look amazing and I would wear that bikini in public!!!! I to have lost about 67 lbs in 6 months! Too Cold for a Bikini right now! Burrr! Keep up the good work! Congrats!

Girl, you are looking good. Apologizing....NAH! You'd be surprised how many of us want to see everything we can. Helps us during our journey!

Seriously! Definitely don't apologize! It's pictures like these that keep me wanting to be banded....and ready to be serious about getting thin! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Thanks for posting these picutres, I 2 weeks until my surgery and I have been so nervous. I have been scrolling pictures on here. I can only hope that my weight loss comes close to yours. Keep up the great work and thank you again for your insperation.

you really do look amazing and congrats on everything. I notice that your skin seems tighter in some pix, did you have a body lift, or some plastic surgery?

you look great...keep up the good work....and don't apologize for anything.

You look crazy FANTASTIC!!!! Congrats to you!!! I cant wait untill I have some too!

never apologize,,,you look wonderful,,, hope im that lucky

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for sharing what people don't see when we say "we can't stand our bodies". So easy to hide behind clothes. You are an inspiration to me. I am new on here and so thankful I found it. I have learned more in one week about the band and others struggles then in the last 2 years of being banded. I felt so alone until now. There are thousands of you struggling and celebrating too. I just felt like I found a wealth of friends. I am going through a difficult time with my port revision and weight gain to lack of "the right fill". This site just may have given me a new reason to continue with the band. I was ready to tell the doctor to remove it because he is not listening to me. When you tell your doctor the awful pain you are feeling and the weight I have gained back you would think there would be a red flag!! CT Scan on Monday. Finally maybe some answers. I may not know you, but I sure am proud of you and you have just given me hope again. Thank you for being so brave and honest...we all need a bit of that sometimes. Please keep posting....

You look AWESOME Girl!

wow... what an inspiration for me... Thank You!!!!

You've inspired me to take my own pictures tonight! Way to go!
