It has been so sweltering hot I can't wait to get into a bathing suit next summer! Being sleeved on August 16, 2012 7am. Anyone else want to visit swim suit land?

Let me tell you, putting a bathing suit on and being seen in public was my biggest insecurity. This year I put one on and I don't care! I'm enjoying myself and getting my exercise. And honestly, most of the women out there look very similar to me anyway! So I say out that suit on and don't let that insecurity get to you. Enjoy yourself and be cool!!!!

I am almost to goal and I wore a bikini to the beach in late June, everyday for a week! I was a little self conscience about by skin issues but then I began to realize as I looked around the pool and beach that I had the best looking bod for a 40 something year old out there! Dont get my wrong, some were thinner but had odd shapes and just didnt look good in a swimsuit. I was smoking hot! or at least in my head I was. lol I felt so much better when I saw that I was not standing out as the big fat one or the one with the misshapen body. I blended right in and I even turned a few heads! My husband said to my daughter as they were walking up the beach toward me and my MIL.."who's that little woman talking to Ma?" Neither of them recognized me! LOL. He was just wondering who that pretty woman was talking to his mom. He said he recognized his mother, but not me.. I laughed really hard at this. I said to him.. but you just saw me in this swimsuit at the pool.. I guess I was standing on the beach and looking super cute at the time! LOL. I am accepting my body more and more these days thanks to the sleeve!

I just got there and it feels really good, not brave enough to wear a bikini however.

I got a nice xl one-piece at target (brand is somehow associated with spanx) and feel pretty good in it. I wish it had a little more room for boobs but it does hold in my tummy nicely.

I've only been around family so far but I'd go out in it if I had the opportunity. I took it to the beach recently but it was cold so I didn't use it on that trip.

It'll happen for you!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
