Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I'll show you mine... (LBD's)



Recommended Posts

I am 5'6" and about 216 or so, medium frame. My doc told me 125 lbs but that seems crazy low for my height....would love to get some input

I am 5'6" and had 2 separate people do body comp analysis on me... I was told by both of them I am good in the mid-low 180s! I am just a very heavy person, apparently my bones are very dense and I am very muscular. My BP is low, resting hear rate very low, I'm very active... I wear size 10 jeans, medium shirt. Look at the WHOLE picture to assess your health, not just weight.

I am also 5'6" and my cw is around 145 lbs most days. I have a fluctuations of a few lbs. I am also more of a large to medium boned person and I wear a size 6 to 8 pants and a medium top, but can fit into a small if I don't mind it being snug. I most often find myself layering my tops. I do not like it to be too snug... I do love my body size right now, I'm beginning to struggle with how my skin looks now. Darn it, I can never be completely satisfied with myself......CAUTION! Work in progress! Keep it up ladies and look forward to hearing more from everyone. CONGRATS to us! :)

GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRL!!!!!!!!! ROCK THOSE SUITS!!! can I ask how tall you are? You seriously look phenomenal!!!

I think I'm gonna go out and buy me a size 8 LBD. That's the size I really want to be eventually. I might never be able to wear it, who knows, but it'll be a fun goal :)

I just bought a LBD yesterday! It's a little snug right now, but I am hoping it will look good for a Christmas party or New Years! That's my motivation! lol My other two LBD's are a little big and just don't look right anymore! Keep up the good work everyone!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
