Look out world, here I come in a bikini



Recommended Posts

Oh my, the hard bodies at the pool are going to be quite surprised when I go plop down on a lounge chair... at my size...in a bikini. Even though I still have lots o' weight to lose, I decided I was tired of having pasty white legs because I wasn't enjoying the gorgeous pool at my complex (seriously, it's like The Bellagio)

Working on holding my head high and not worrying about what others think...I'm going to take a page from the boys who can have a giant gut, scrawny legs and a hairy back and walk around like they are the ****...off I go :-)

As long as you are comfortable, who cares what others think.

If you feel a bit self conscience, try a Tankini which covers a little more but you can still get a good tan and when tanning, pull it higher but when swimming, wear it longer.

Good for you! No matter how much I lose tho I can't wear a bikini. I have too many belly scars (I keloid, so every one of the about 8 scars I have are ugly). I have worn tankinis tho and am almost comfortable in them. My legs are nice enuf but I have a problem with backfat. Even at my lowest 144 last year, I had to wear a shawl with my sleeveless wedding dress cuz of backfat. It's what prevents me from wearing tank tops.

I should be like you tho and wear it proudly! I luv tanks, I just feel so self conscious in them.

WTG!

Here is a pic...tried to be stealthy so it wasn't super apparent what I was doing (so apparently I am fine with strangers judging me for bring fat in a bikini, but not for being vain) lol

You are fearless. My stomach has really flattened out but I can't bring myself to wear a bikini. My stretch marks from my two children are too ugly. One day though. #dreamer.

You are very kind, thank you........I had a whole list of things that I was going to say to downplay that compliment, but I need to take my own advise from an early post and just say a gracious "thank you"

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
