9 months post op. 115lbs. Only thing that hasn't shrunk are my ears! 🐘
I've gone from 26/28 to 12/14 and 3xl/4xl to large. I think I want to lose around 10-15 more pounds but I'm pretty content right now.

So I just had open bladder surgery(not bypass related or caused) and had to stay in the hospital post opp...I was SO scared when they went to move me from my strecher to my room bed but it was EASY! I had m my bypass surgery 6/22 and I'm 130lbs down. Aside from the post op pneumonia everything about this surgery has been easier, walking, moving, standing, showing and I have a 3+ inch incision going from my belly button down, 15+staples and 7 stitches on my bladder on the inside. It's one of the biggest Surgeries I've ever had and pneumonia aside pretty easy recovery so far.

Ok so I just tried this and it was surprisingly yummy.
Crust
1 cup mozzerella
1/4 parmesian
1 egg
Seasoning of your choice (I used Italian seasoning and garlic powder)
Topping
Low carb marinara (I used Rao's)
Sprinkle of mozzerella
Turkey pepperoni
Mix all the crust ingredients together. Put parchment paper on a pan. Spray with cooking spray. Shape mixture into the size of a personal pan pizza (6" or so) on topof the parchment paper. Spread marinara on top of crust mixture. Sprinkle mozzerella. Add turkey pepperoni (I use 6 pieces- you can use more or less). Cook 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool when it comes out of the oven. I side into 4 pieces, ate 2 and my daughter ate the other 2.
Add toppings. Experiment. This really scratched the pizza itch and was surprisingly healthy.

I was running after a special needs student and my body didn't scream at me before, during and after. I was out of breath at the end but even that wasn't as bad as it was 50lbs ago.
Also moving around in general. I lay on a doctor's table now and my arms fit beside me, I don't have to tuck them under. I can get up from the couch without scooting to the edge and then grunting like Aughra from the Dark Crystal when I go to get up.

Mine are loose. As soon as I get a little lower I am going to have them resized.

I definitely have lost the padding around my tail bone. I find sitting at an angle helps when I can. Straight back sitting can be miserable and for long car rides I have a pillow. It does get better though. You either learn how to sit or maybe it's getting better. After a long day I can feel my tailbone when I lay down.

I bought my first pair of jeans, or any sort of pants that button and zip, since college a month or so ago. I still hate how they look, because all the weight I have left to lose seems to have just melted generally down but it's something.
And I'll get to do the jeans shopping again soon, because they're saggy baggy now.
Back when I wore jeans last, the style was ultra-low rise with a flared leg. I'm really digging the high-waisted skinny style. It's like a hug from your ankles to your ribs, like those squeezing thundershirts that they put on dogs afraid of thunderstorms.

Sweet Baby Rays also has Rays no sugar added BBQ Sauce that is pretty good. Not as sweet as the original but no weird after taste and fills the need. It's a good fit for BBQ sauce.

It is surreal walking into a regular clothing store and not needing to ask where or if they have plus size clothing. I bought size 14 old navy pants and I LOVE them. They are high waist button up. 10-11 months ago I was 24-26.

I walked into Old Navy and bought jeans size 14 that are loose enough I can pull them on and off with out un doing them.

Crossing my legs is a top 5 NSV for me. It's awesome. I can cross them now and they stay there on their own. I LOVE to cross my legs. 😍❤️

Welcome to the bariatric world! I think everyone has a sagging skin issue. I didn't have a lot with my arms, neck and face thankfully but I do have an apron now and my boobs sag more then they did before surgery (tmi?), and while I am tickled my thighs no longer touch when I walk, if I walk fast they slap. I plan on having a mommy makeover surgery to fix the things I don't like. They next time I see my doctor I'll be talking to his plastic surgeon about fixing the issues. I had surgery 6/7/22 and I've lost 122lbs. Even with the sagging skin I'm down from a 26/28 to a size 14 that is starting to get loose. I have such a better quality of life. I would not change one day post op. Even if I never got a mommy makeover. I think the majority of my brothers and sisters in the bariatric world would agree that they are happier post op sagging skin and all. You'll do great! We are here to support you!
