Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I wasn't sure whether or not to post this as a success story, but here's a (cropped, bad) photo of me as of today. You can see that I'm definitely bulking up, but you can also see where I still have a LONG way to go fat-wise, and a lot of loose skin...

Sorry for the bad image quality, but it's off the cuff, and I really didn't want to get into the horrorshow that is my tummy right now -- just a horrible mess of loose skin!

Thanks for the replies :) I'm going to Hawaii in a few months, and I'm glad I don't have to feel TOO ashamed to go snorkeling without a shirt (aside from the pale Caucasian skin glare factor! I *do* live in Seattle, after all...)

You look hot! Obviously working out. Doesn't look like loose skin to me. Have fun in Hawaii!

Hey ouroborous,

Of course you have put this thread in the right place... you defo are a success story!! I agree with the other, you look great and I can't see any loose skin! We certainly are our own worse critics!

Howdy, fellow rain city sleever!

At least during the long, gray rainy winters up here, going to the gym gives us something to do when it's gloomy outside, right? And then during Seattle's epic "six weeks of summer" we get to go outside and show it off!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
