I def agree with the confidence thing. It's hard esp when you're used to being judged by your weight. I wonder how many guys like me know just because I'm skinnier. It sucks. Things they don't tell you...

If you're ever single and in jersey though... Lol

haha, yeah the attention difference is crazy. But dosent bother me because I enjoy the attention now!

Dang!! How much have you lost? Says? Everyone tells me not to aim or skinny, but "healthy." My mom says she thinks I have unrealistic expectations when I say I want to be skinny. TO ME, when I say skinny, I just mean shopping on the normal side of the store but deep down, I wanna get as skinny as you hehe. Are you on mfp, I'm curious what you eat?

Thank you :) surgery was 10/25 so like 11 weeks from the post pics. I'm 5'4" was 230 now 180. I actually haven't gotten into an exercise routine yet at all. I'm an ER and ICU nurse so I have an active job but after I put in my 13 hours I do not hit the gym or run. I plan on starting to walk n jog (not really built for speed lol) in the spring once it's a bit warmer. I used to be very athletic so I've had alot of muscle hiding under my fluff for years n now it's starting to peek out again.

We are not to far apart:) I was sleeved 11-5 at 240 and today I weigh 199;) I do kickboxing every day for an hour.

I hope to look as good as you at your weight;)

      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!!
