Showing Off... Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any cool or funny stories of where you were able to show off to that ex or old roommate, coworker etc after dropping weight? Or maybe you have plans of "bumping" into that particular person once you reach that perfect "look at me now" weight?

WYSIWYG with me at any size. I won't show off or plan to bump into anyone, all of my exes and friends have embraced me at all the sizes I've been, but if they see me and compliment me on my weight loss that will make me smile. :)

I think it's funny how people react when they haven't seen you for awhile. I cut my hair really short when it started to fall out, so now I'm rockin a short pixie hair do, and my hair used to be down to the middle of my back. I have run into more than one person that I haven't seen for a long time and when they recognize me they say 'WOW! You cut your hair! It makes you look SO much thinner!' LOL The first time it happened I was shocked, now I just laugh it off ;) The last time, I said 'Yeah, who would have thought cutting my hair would make me look like 70 pounds lighter!' The person looked at me funny then it was like a light bulb went off, and they asked if I had lost weight too. I don't really tell anyone about my surgery, or tell anyone the numbers of my loss unless they ask, but people are funny. I hope you enjoy everyones reactions. You'll get tons of them :)

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

      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! 😞
