Wanna lick my butt?

Before was 4 months ago. The after was a few days ago

I haven't even reached my goal weight and here are the things that have already hanged, and in only 4 short months!
1. I don't get out of breath when I walk up the stairs anymore!!
2. I can shop at regular stores and I actually enjoy it now!
3. I no longer feel like the fat girl in the room which is an AMAZING feeling.
4. I can wear boots now! My calfs used to be so big that boots wouldn't fit
5. My over all body image issues have seriously diminished!
6. I look in the mirror and for once I like what I see
7. I don't avoid going out with friends anymore because I have nothing to wear
8. No more unsolicited weight loss advice
9. I can shop at Victoria's Secret!
10. I just feel so much healthier! I wish I would have done this sooner!
How is everyone else feeling!?

30 lbs since surgery, 55 all together. I have dropped several sizes, but still see myself as "big". Comparison pics like this really help me to see how far I have come!

80 lbs all post op?

It could be a sense of loss. Loss of the fat that protected you from the outside world, sexual advances, etc. Loss of the person you used to be. Loss of feeling invisible. It is a general feeling of not knowing who you are anymore. I hope you are connected with a bariatric support group in your area, as well as a psychologist that specializes in eating disorders/ bariatrics/ self image. If not, make that a goal for the week. Attend one live bariatric support group, and make an appt to see a psychologist. After the physical work, comes the mental work.

When else have you lost an average of 14.6lbs a month? It didn't come on over night. It won't come off over night. Relax and enjoy your journey. Stay on your plan and you will lose it. You got this!!!!

I'm not sure. I'm 3 months out, 50 lbs down, pretty ok with my weight...but UBER self conscious about my sad boobs. They seem to have given up on life and now resemble some gelatinous sack of distressed skin. I was more sexually adventurous b4 I lost the weight. Now I'm afraid these huge flapjacks will give someone a concussion, so I'm abstaining. Til I get a reduction lol.

I had sex after 4 days so it all depends on how you're feeling. I always had a great sex life and am only 3 weeks out so can't really comment on that. I am pretty flexible for a big woman but can't wait til my fiance can pick me up while doing it...it will make shower sex more fun.. I am losing weight and he is bulking up.

Oops.... Forgot my stats
Sleeved 6/3/13
Starting weight: 344 (seriously I still can't believe that)
Current weight: 272
Starting size: 24/26 in pants and at least 3x in shirts
Current sizes: 18/20 pants and 1x/2x tops!! Even bought an XL top the other day!!!!!!!!

I feel them. For the first time, in....idk, EVER. But I'm conflicted. I'm not sure if I like them all. The jaw bone, collar bone, wrist and ankles are much appreciated. But this pelvis I've never felt seems absolutely obnoxious. Along with these hip bones...that seem to get sharper as the weeks go by....I'm grateful that walking seems so graceful and effortless...but I am definitely afraid that these bones are now unprotected and extremely vulnerable. And....Sometimes I miss my fat, and my stomach, and various Fativities like eating in bed, buffets, and food comas. Idk. All of this is just so strange! Lol. I guess I'll adjust.

Heaviest weight: 287
Current weight: 248
Amount lost before surgery: 10lbs
Amount lost at 1 Month post op: 28lbs
Sleeved 6/14.... And apparently in the midst of a 1 week (so far) stall. I even gained a lb and almost died. Lol.
I've since increased my Fluid and Protein (thanks to Sytranx Nectar) and hope that it will trigger some substantial loss. I wasn't getting anywhere near my Protein requirement, as I could barely stand Designer, Isoplus, and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury supplements. I have yet to hit the gym, because I've just been toooo tired to do anything, and my poor sleeping habits aren't helping. So...here's hoping that next week produces some kind of change!

OMG, yes. I find myself trying to hold my husband back. Weird that we want it more, but I'm fighting to handle it all in a good way. It's just unbelievable & overwhelming at times. They say be careful what you wish for. Lol....

Two questions for those who have lost a significant amount of weight!
1. Do your lady parts shrink? Like the lips and mons pubis? Or do they stay fat?
2.after 3 babies, my bladder leaks a little throughout the day, requiring a panty liner. Will this get better when I no longer weigh 275 lbs?

Congrats!! I recently had the same victory. Sleeved 6/14 35 lbs down since surgery...My girlfriend gave me a pair of 16's I figured I'd try them on...for sh!ts n giggles. I almost cried, I was probably 18, when I last wore a 16. Wonderful milestone!
