I love that I'm losing but my skin (especially my thighs) is particularly sad. It's one of those moments where you think, at least when I was heavier I didn't have wrinkles or loose skin! Anyway, aside from a wet suit, has anyone found a bathing suit that helps with this? I live in South Florida so it's summer all year round and I need help covering up! I would love to flatter what I have and not look like I stole an old lady's suit if at all possible.

Rocking a bikini. Loose skin and all!

I need something that covers me just past my knees, so I am going with this:

If you can get away with something to the knee or shorter, maybe something like this:

I also have flabby thighs at the moment. I live in Florida too, so I understand wanting to have a bathing suit. I bought a bikini bottom that has a skirt on it and that seems to work for the moment. I also just wear shorts that I'm comfortable getting wet. The two suggestions from Amazon in the earlier post look like great ideas too.

Also, now that it's summer again I'm tan and I have to say, tan fat looks better than pale fat. :) Just be careful of course with the amount of sun exposure...we don't want skin cancer. :)

I wear a sheer wrap skirt or a cover up over my suit if I'm out of the pool for long.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
