I had two pairs of jeggings I ordered online and when they arrived were way too tight so I hung them at the back of the closet. My regularly worn jeggings have become increasingly loose so I pulled the new jeggings out and they fit perfectly.

How many times did you have to change your wardrobe?
PeachPerfect replied to BoredCW's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm just a few weeks post-op, so I haven't even dared to wear a pare of jeans yet, but I've dropped 20+ lbs and my feet seem to have shrunk 😅??? I can't do anything about the new white snake skin sneakers I got 2 months ago that now fit like clown shoes, but I do plan on turning anything clothes I outgrow into something I wear while I paint! -
165 lbs down 80 to go!
Catherine Wible replied to Catherine Wible's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
In clothes I am looking good, but I have so much extra skin now. I would rather not have all the hanging skin, but I would rather have all the empty skin than the fat that it once contained. I won't be able to afford the plastic surgery to get rid of it, so I look at it as dues paid for years of weak will and over eating. I choose to be proud of my saggy skin. -
Glad you are doing well. Keep the drains if they are collecting. Swelling and absorbsion take 10 x as long as drains Yes - for me it was great to have skin that fit my body. Enjoy!

Don't know if you're on FB or INSTAGRAM, but that's how I learned about them. The brand I currently use is GOTYGOTY (stands for Girl Of The Year). Their site is: http://gotygotyplus.com There's another that one day I'd like to test run called BodyFix (also on IG) & their site is: www.shopthebodyfix.com Both companies show pics & videos of men & women (mostly gals) wearing/ using their gear! 😊👍 Btw, if/ when you purchase & wear these garments, wear a tee shirt or tank top under it and their arm bands; thin material leggings under their shorts/capris. Not just to see how much of a sweat you worked up & it keeps you motivated. But also you don't want the garment's underside against your skin. I'm VERY sensitive & break out almost from anything. I found that out. 😥😖 Also, these hotgear items need to be HAND WASHED & DRIP DRY. Machine wash and dry on any light cycle can damage the materials within the fabric's fibers that help you to pull that perspiration from your body. They go into detail on their sites. Toodles. Check 'em out if you wish. Yeah, that's my pics below. Cheers & all the best. I tried to post screenshots, but had trouble. Oh well -
You are probably going through what they call head hunger. You are still loaded with bad eating habits that hopefully will go away as you continue on your journey. Remember, your stomach was operated, but your brain doesn’t change. It’s up to you to make that change. Try to listen to your body and not your brain. Hopefully over time you’ll get a better hang of it. Just because you messed up once doesn’t mean you have to continue on that path. Move on and stick to your program. Also try and get your protein in. This will help to keep you fuller. Soups are going to go right through you so try something with more protein. And try the antacids. If it helps that’s great. You have nothing to loose. (Except weight lol)

Can I say that I love this thread. I can’t wait to post my cute outfits after I loose the weight.

HA I hear ya! I have a close family member who had WLS 10 years ago, lost 100 pounds in record time, and has kept it off - woo hoo! The reason I mention her is that for awhile she was kinda self-conscious and on the fence about extra skin, but she gave it some time and came to total peace with it, for real (believe me, I'd know if she wasn't ha ha) - and she urged me to do the same. Waaay too early for me to even think about that, but thought I'd pass it on to you - with the note that I know every one is different - just wanted to share.

Before and After Pics
danieocean replied to Roserie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OMG Thank you so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ My arms were never that big to begin with, the parts on my body where there were stretched out and laden with stretch marks, the skin just hangs. Like my inner thighs, breasts, and belly and now, I'm noting my butt too. But it's not the worst thing in the world. Clothes cover it up for now. Fitting in Smalls and Mediums now is TOTALLY WORTH the loose skin. My health is overall just so much better, I try not to let the skin bother me as much as I maybe should? LOL I literally just lift my 5 lb weights every day and do about an hour of yoga a day. It helped define my arms within weeks which was really cool. -
Before and After Pics
danieocean replied to Roserie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
LOL!!! Yes, I am well over 18!!!! You wouldn't know by looking at my saggy skin underneath my clothes. I probably look well over 60 naked. SO CUTE. ha! -
I'm not particularly confident over the whole skin removal surgery because I feel it's medically unecessary for me, however I could just be too nervous to have another surgery being I have nearly bled out during the last few I have had this year.

Down here in Clearwater,Florida enjoying my last hooorah until my surgery date? Caught a baby gator when fishing off the hotel dock, but the moment I think I saw that I was wearing Tennessee Orange.....it broke loose. LOLOLOL

So, my gym ONLY had him as a trainer. He still works - but only in mornings. They are supposedly hiring two more at some point. But, I am having my skin removal surgery in November which will put me out of commission for a minimum of 8 weeks, and they require a 3 month commitment contract so I don't have time between when the new hires get on and my surgery to sign a 3 month contract. So, at this point, I am going to wait until February and by then my trainer SHOULD be back with an evening schedule. I am actually off work this coming Monday and managed to get in a morning appointment with him. I am going to whine a lot about his abandonment. lolol.

Well, you already said you're having skin surgery so .... hopefully that will provide the confidence boost. The main reason I am having a tummy tuck is because of the FUPA (fatty upper pubic area). I hate it. You can see it bulge in my pants like I have dude parts. lol. Yeah, the tummy needs work, too, but I can mostly hide that except for the FUPA. I am excited to have that chop-chopped. You are not alone.

I'm right there with you. I *HATE* the extra skin... that's all I can see and it grosses me out... I love how I look dressed... and I've even started wearing tank tops and much more fitted clothing... but naked... BLAH so gross!!

Probably looks fantastic with your skin type!

I wore a wrap dress today, and two things were notable: 1) the wrap now fits me so completely that I don’t have to pin the bodice and I also don’t have to worry about gusts of wind - if the first panel flies up, the second one wraps all the way to my hip and has me covered 2) I completely forgot about wearing anything on my thighs, so when I hit the street and felt how muggy it was my heart sank, imagining friction burns on my inner thighs by day’s end. But after 2 miles of walking? NOTHING. even with the extra skin, NO CHAFING AT ALL.

So, most of you have read that I wasn't always heavy. I didn't gain weight until 10 years ago when I was 20. When I was a healthy weight, 140, my doctors would constantly tell me I was "bordering" on overweight and "at-risk". My family member who told me I was chubby since I was age 8 continued on berating me for my size. I was a completely healthy size my whole childhood and teenage years. Anyways, I developed body dysmorphia and truly believed I was gigantic. So, I gave up and ate. And ate. Until I actually was large. And then no one cared. That family member stopped making comments. Not a single doctor commented on my size. No doctor ever brought up any risks from obesity. It all stopped. It was like I had so much pressure when I was thin to stay thin, but then when I was fat I was a lost cause and no one cared anymore. But I look at my picture from the day before my surgery and it actually disgusts me. I am clearly uncomfortable. I am miserable in my skin. I do not look attractive or happy. But no one said a word. I find this to be really infuriating because when I was heavy I needed the encouragement the most and the discussions with the doctors... NOT when I was actually healthy and fit and "1 pound away from being considered overweight on the BMI". I sometimes feel really angry that all the people around me saw me looking how I did and didn't say a word of concern. When I expressed my discomfort of being heavy to my ex he just said "screw it. let's just get fat together, who cares". I wish people "cared" when I was actually gaining weight as much as they "cared" when I was fit. I probably wouldn't have had such severe emotional eating issues, although probably still some dysmorphia from the childhood comments from the family member. Everytime I do a before and after photo now I am just appalled because I am *almost* the weight now when everyone was telling me I was fat. But when I was ACTUALLY fat no one said a word. But suddenly now I look great? Um. 10 years ago you were calling me fat at this size. TLDR; I look at my "fat" pic and feel so gross and angry that no one cared that I was fat that should have cared, except me. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using BariatricPal mobile app

What’s your opinion on waist training after surgery? I’m debating on doing it and my dr says pregnancy is worse on your body than waist training. I just want to get some curves and some have said it helps with loose skin and back rolls. But I want some opinions. Have any of you done it?

Today I am 2 months and 3 days post op and I’m down 42 pounds
Dee2938 replied to Elizabeth Hiciano's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is awesome. I can’t wait until I’m one year post op and thin, but I’d I loose 40 something pounds in the first two months I’ll be thrilled. -
Wanting to eat everything before surgery. Help!
Dee2938 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m loosing it, and not in the good way. I have a little less than a month before my surgery and exactly two weeks before my liquid diet and right now I just want to eat everything in sight. I feel hungrier than ever and I keep thinking if I don’t enjoy it now I won’t be able to for a very long time. I’m worried I’m going to gain even more weight and weight gained is weight that needs to be lost. I want to get down to 130 and as most patients loose about 70% of their excess weight I won’t end up anywhere near my goal weight if I keep this up. How can I get out of this mentality? How do I keep it together. I have two more weeks before liquid diet and I cannot keep eating like this. -
I went from 370 down to 183 at my lowest... currently sitting between 185 - 190 at 18% body fat. I have minimal issues with skin, sure there is some extra, and I hate how it looks, but it hides very easily. I've got other photos in my profile that highlight the changes. But at the end of the day, it's going to be 100% personal, everyone's skin is different, where they carried their weight, how their skin reacted to the weight etc etc etc.

Oddly, I've lost about 150 lbs so far since last year, and I haven't had any loose skin issues. I still have 100 lbs. to lose, but this seems promising. I'm 32.
