Just past my 1 year post op on Oct 15th! I, of course, wish I had lost more and have a hard time always seeing the loss, but I am feeling great! I am down 126lbs and hope to get off another 50-70lbs. Congrats to everyone on this journey! It is not easy or taking an easy way out. It has been difficult and emotional, but so worth it! Be proud!

So sorry this is happening to you! Unfortunately, it is hard esp for women sometimes to be happy for someone else. This is so much more about them and their insecurities than it is about you. I have never understood this! Even at my heaviest of 350+ pounds, I was still confident in myself to acknowledge beautiful women. Jealousy is ugly! Luckily I own my own business and have not had any issues since dropping the weight. I agree with the other posters, you have to just ignore it. If you let it beat you down or allow it to cause a reaction, they got what they wanted out of you. Its like we tell our kids, have to ignore ignorant people. This journey is by no means easy! So you deserve to be happy! Don't let these immature women still your joy. They are not your Maker and their judgments mean nothing. Keep doing you girl!

Still a work in progress but about 7 1/2 months out and down 103lbs. Its hard to see everyday but comparison pics help! Excuse the before pic with no bra but forgot to take a pic before the surgery so did one quickly before heading out
