I have seen others on here who have become pregnant, some within the first year, who were just fine. I suggest that you make appointments with your surgeon and nutritionist asap (along with OB of course). The surgeon will run labs to see if you are low on anything from not taking your bariatric Vitamins and the nutritionist can tell you what you should be eating that’s best for you and baby.

This was the best thing I have ever done for myself. A true act of self love and discipline. With no regrets at all.
I used to kind of roll my eyes when people would say weight lost “journey”. But it’s truly what it is.
Loosing the weight gave me energy and confidence that I can’t even describe.

I’ve lost 145lbs to date and feel great. I’m also single for the first time in my life, and have been on the dating scene for about a year.
Dating has been a struggle because I am very open with my journey. I have lots of before and after Instagram pics and talk about it frequently. Weight loss is definitely my biggest personal accomplishment. It’s always a tipping point when I’m out with someone for the first time, trying to explain it to people who haven’t been or knows anyone who has gone through it.
The loose skin has become a mental block. I feel like I look one way fully clothed and it’s a “surprise” when things take a sexual turn. I’m very self conscious about it. Most people I’ve been with don’t seem to care or at least pretend that they don’t. But I can’t help but feel like I’m in a “fraudulent package” if that makes sense.
Anyone else feel this way?

P.S. I agree with the poster who suggested looking at realself. I spent a lot of time looking at that and also researching some surgeons people had talked about here on BP. I came up with a short list of about 10 people, then I narrowed it down to three to do consults with. I would recommend doing more than one consult because some surgeons will have very different ideas about what to do than others will. I found the consults really interesting and educational. Most surgeons now seem to charge a nominal fee for consults - like around $100 or so - but they'll apply that to your surgery if you go with them. It's worth it, even if you pay consult fees to some surgeons you end up not going with.

I’m single too & will start dating again after I’ve lost a certain amount of weight. I have definitely considered all the things you’ve said. Good Lingerie for me has always been a help. Pretty teddy that covers the stomach

By the way, you look beautiful. Amazing results with your weight loss.
I’m also in the research phase for plastics.
I found a website called realself. You can research procedures, see before and after’s and find surgeons in your area. Price will depend on surgeon and type of procedure(s) you choose.

Best of luck to you,

Just make sure he's got other things to focus on! kwim? 😁

I think we are all a lot more self critical then anyone else would be. No one is perfect when naked, not even models. So any reasonable man is not going to expect perfection once you're undressed.
I know it is cliche, but self confidence goes a long way. If you are comfortable, and feel sexy and desirable, you will absolutely project that.
