I just bought my first bikini too! Granted, it's high waisted because I've got some loose skin that I don't like to look at, but still! I'm breaking it in tomorrow, and hoping I don't want to crawl into a hole once I'm out in public!

Haha, well those are with my clothes on! I actually finally just updated those today. But thank you. I wore it today, and wasn't too terribly self conscious!

I am 8 months out and 100 pounds down. I'm not quite to goal, but I've got quite a bit of loose skin. It bothers me, but not nearly as much as that extra 100 pounds did! I feel like I don't look good naked, but when I was obese I didn't look good naked either. At least now I look good with clothes on

Returning to the original topic...Some doctors are much less conservative in their post-op eating approach. I was sleeved 3 weeks ago tomorrow and instructed to begin soft foods on day 8 after surgery. That included scrambled eggs, chicken, fish, Beans, cooked veggies (but no corn or celery) and fruits.We had no puree phase at all. In 2 more weeks I can eat salads and crunchy foods. I've had no issues at all. In fact I'm doing great and am down 22 lbs in those 3 weeks and 58 total.
My doctor is part of a very respected office called Atlanta Bariatrics - http://atlantabariatrics.com/ - and he does about 30 sleeves a month and has been for years.Believe me I researched him before committing to the surgery. Of course everyone is different so you should follow your doctor's advice.
