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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
