I broke down n bought my first bikini in over 14 years. Please ignore my bloated bandaged orange belly, I just had my gallbladder taken out yesterday so still full of c02. Can't believe I found a top to keep the girls up n shaped nicely, cuz naked they sure aren't in that position lol.

listing a whole bunch of clothes on ebay. going to take me a few days to get them all listed i believe but ill add pics of new items listed when i do. this link should take you to my items selling list http://www.ebay.com/...=&_trksid=p3686

Just sent in a request for consultation with a plastics doc. Wanting a reduction and augmentation. Goal is to never have to wear a bra again lol. Would love to hear from some post op people that have had this done to hear how it went and if you are pleased with the results.

Women's sizes are fuller in the waist and hips, also for dresses/shirts there's more room in the bust and the armholes are bigger. helps accommodate a curvy figure and still be fitted so it doesn't look like you're wearing a potato sack

Ohh just read the picture better. Looks like they do have ddd sizes

I had your same question. After many product reviews I decided to try this champion high impact sports bra. I usually wear 34ddd regular bra but bought 36dd size cuz the 34dd was ok around the ribs but squashed the girls too much (not sure if the have ddd sizes). sports authority and academy (bout 5 dollars cheaper here) are local stores around me that I've found them at. Bought two at the store them bought 3 more off eBay. I love them, minimal if any"Uniboob" effect and those baby's don't go ANYWHERE! Lol. Comfortable so you can still move n breathe but does an amazing job keeping things in check.

Increased shortness of breath when laying down is sometimes a sign of congestive heart failure d/t increased "fluid" in your lungs. Some people will notice swelling in their legs (and arms on occasion) as well but not always. Hopefully this isn't the case for you but you should definitely have your PCP check you out to rule out CHF.

Many people have commented on how pretty my hair is and how good it looks...which is crazy since it hasn't been colored or trimmed in 4 months and has been falling out for 3 months. Also met some new friends out the other night and as time went by we started talking about our old fat pictures, I told them about my VSG and showed them some preop pictures and their jaws hit the floor and one of them said the words I'll never forget..."I thought you were always skinny". It's so different being called "skinny" by people who have always known you to be obese, but for someone who has never seen you before now to refer to you as skinny is a whole different thing

I'm considering lipo for my inner thighs cuz I've taken up jogging and want to be be a 5k addict but I HATE that my shorts ride up my thighs even when I walk. I don't want the lipo for aesthetic reasons and I know it'll likely make my thigh skin even saggier but I'd love to be able to walk n jog without pulling my shirts outta my crotchety every 2 steps. Anyone else have any suggestions or can u tell me if ppl with smaller thighs still have this problem at all. I've always had big legs so I don't know what having thighs that don't touch would be like.

I load up on the Kellogg fiber plus caramel coconut fudge bars when I can find them. They might just be a fancy candy bar but they beat eating a box of cookies or a cupcake and they hit the sweet tooth and make u feel full too. They taste like the girls scout Samoa cookies

This is what I'm dealing with. There's a space between my thighs at the very top but still lotsa full flab underneath that likes to hang out together. I wouldn't go as far as to get a thigh lift with the big scars down the inside just cuz I don't want my shorts riding but if lipo will solve my problem I'm all about trying that.

I already wear compression pants under them. They don't compress enough and shorts I wear over still ride like mad so I just hike em up on the outside too for shorty shorts lol. I'm 8 pounds from goal and expect to drop under once I'm exercising regularly.

Oh autocorrect. How I loathe thee. -shorts and crotch lol

Cold early morning but I'm here. First 5 k after 70 pounds down and deciding to get out n not be a recluse any longer. I can't run it but I'm gonna jog my little heart out.

I survived thank u everybody

Took some pics at the 70 pound lost mark to help give an idea of what some people might expect that are similar to my stats. I've been lucky with the skin so far. I have a few little wrinkles around my belly button that I expect to tighten up as time goes by, my arms are flabby with remaining fat in them but I wouldn't say lose skin exactly, same with my thighs. I've never been fond of my legs but now I have traded in a few cottage cheese dimples for some not so great drooping and almost roll-like remaining fluff on my inner thighs. My butt has flattened out and is now fuller on the bottom than the middle so no round badonkadonk anymore but still looks decent in jeans lol. And my poor poor boobies need a makeover ASAP. I'm 159 now at 6 months out this week,< 10 pounds from my goal of 150, HW was 230's and I'm 5'4". Hope this helps give someone some insight on what they might expect to see.

Who thought its be a good idea to name any woman's clothing after an animal called a sea cow. It wouldn't matter if it was a size two, most women would still not like that reference

A very modest goal of 150 but I haven't weighed 150 since 6th grade

I was sleeved 10/25 with a SW of 218 after preop diet. Hw was 230 and I'm 163 right now, so not 80 but getting close to 70 now. I have no tips or tricks to give really. I needed the sleeve for moderation because I couldn't do it on my own. I eat what I want, when I want, just not the 4-5k calories a day I used to consume of it. My vsg has truly been a blessing and I'm much healthy physically and mentally now than I was just 6 short months ago. Can't wait for the next 50+ years

No silly. But I love my bacon almost as much as I love my homosexuals

I think we can all have a deep appreciation for this picture
