I forgot to take full body shots at the event, but here's the initial "should I buy this?" dressing room image. Ignore bra straps visible in photo, wore a strapless bra on the night. And I wore MUCH better shoes, and unbelievably, they didn't hurt even after four hours of mingling - these were spike heels. And did I mention that freakishly, my shoe size went down .5? This entire experience is bizarre.

Some of my colleagues didn't recognize me and apparently asked whose wife I was.

How does one PM on this site? I have not done that here before.

I still lurk around but haven’t been posting. I will be 6 months out December 28th. I think I’m doing okay. My body keeps stalling after slight gains. Had a 3 week stall and then it broke. Gained again but lost the weight I gained. My body is just being really weird right now. I’m down to about 225-226 lbs right now (was 275 day of surgery and 285 day of discharge). My surgeon’s office wants me to be at least 220 by January, hoping to surpass that. Hope all is well with everyone!

Originally, I had my usual which was my actual first and middle name. I changed it because I was doing everything in secret and didn’t want to be tracked by any nosy people I might know. So it became my initials x my procedure. Nothing fancy

I’m down to 205!! 6 lbs till the 100’s!!!! Starting weight was 252, surgery weight was 242. I’m eating about 530 calories a day, 11g carbs, still struggling with Protein. I can’t afford to do Protein Powder at this time so I’m trying my best to get it from food but most days I’m closer to 40 than 60 grams. I’m getting around 30-40 grams of fats.



Breakfast is pretty much the same each day: 1 bacon, one fried egg (cooked in the bacon grease, 3-4 blackberries, and 1/4 an avocado. Comes out to about 207 calories. I was doing chili cheese dogs for lunch (1/4 cup homemade chili, 1 all beef dog and 2 tbsp shredded cheddar—no bun) but I ran out of chili. Now trying to find something new to eat. Didn’t get enough Water yesterday. :/ gonna try better today. Honestly I’m not feeling hungry today. I found that guacamole is a good snack for me. I found that if I go to chipotle and order a steak burrito bowl with no rice or Beans, just steak, cheese, guac, salsa and lettuce it’s pretty good!! I can eat about 1/3-1/2 of it. And it’s not bad cold :)



But im still struggling with what to eat each day ugh. I can’t go to chipotle every day. I can’t make chili every week. And I’m so tired from work—closing on weekends sucks.

We can see it!!!

I’m not done losing but so far I’ve gone from a 46DDD/48DD to a 40D. I don’t think my boobs will go any lower than a C cup because when I was smaller I was a C cup

You look Fabulous! Keep up the good work. You can tell

You look fantastic, congrats!

I haven’t been around the forums in a little while. Today’s non scale victory is clothing. Prior to surgery I wore a 3x top/size 24 jeans. Today I went to try on clothes and fit a large top/size 17 jeans. I’m so proud of my progress even though it can’t really see a difference most days

All of my DD bras are too big! I’m nowhere near goal but I found an old 40D bra and it fit perfect so yay for me! lol

Wow, time really flies! I can’t believe the summer is over already! Hope everyone is doing well!

you tell me, when I joined BP last winter some e-peon did that to me. I was not even seeking WLS at that time, let alone undergoing surgery. I cannot adjust it myself on an android phone app, I have pleaded with everyone up to Ken S our uber E-Guru until I am blue in the face, to repair it Nada- for a bit of time I even started putting all my facts in every pisting, makes for LONG postings. so here I am with a blue face,, light red turkey neck and operating room sallow skin tone. My son does not have to worry about a stepfather now. I give most guys the right age the heeby jeebies with my color scheme. So. can anybody fix El Problemo?

This is a major one!!! I feel like in the past taking pictures I haven't hated always required several shots at very purposeful angles with me trying very hard to sit/stand/breathe in the right places...and even after all that I often just hated them. What a great feeling to like a "real" and candid shot of yourself!!

My most recent NSV (if I can be considered one) was that my friend snapped a pic of me without my knowledge and sent it to me and I didn’t completely hate it, lol

Haha I hadn’t even thought of that!!

I posted this on the summer post-op thread too so I’m sorry for double posting, but what do you all think about this dress for work tomorrow? Yea or wait 5-10+ pounds or just nay in general?



Trying to decide/work up courage...

Oh, and you can also see in this pic I need a link taken out of my watch, lol!

New to this site. Had gastric sleeve procedure 8/22/18. Down 20 thus far. Thought I was dealing with major allergies for the last week but started feeling really bad yesterday. Went to urgent care and was told I have the flu :(. I’m bummed that I won’t be going to the gym for a couple of days, but I know I need to allow my body to get over this flu. So frustrating! Hope everyone is doing well!
