CristyRNY, check out my post "Got naked, nobody died of shame".... Might give you hope!!!

You're not the only one on the site to have experienced this lack of confidence, but many are overcoming it. I am 8 months out, I was where you are (although I am way older) but my sleeve has transformed me and my life beyond recognition. To the extent I got naked last weekend for the first time in years with some I have lusted over for years and can t believe it .... Hence, my post!

Don't lose hope, you are just at the beginning ....

Thank goodness I'm married. Christy....I can only imagine. I think in time it will get much easier. It will definitely take some trial and error....some testing of the waters.....and some grit and courage. But don't hold yourself back. Enjoy the new life.

Jam out with your clam out girl. I have learned that if someone can't accept me at my worst then they sure as hell don't deserve me at my best!!

Your confidence comes with time and self appreciation and love.

      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.

      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! 😞
