So I bought my very first bikini yesterday! My skin on my stomach is a little saggy so I'm nervous to wear it but I'll work up the courage one day! This is a total NSV!

</blockquote> <p> </p> <p>Nope, I'm getting cut on Wednesday! I'm so excited/nervous! I'm 5'7". My starting weight is a wee bit lower, but I'm also a couple years older than you (27), so maybe it will even out. I'd be over the moon for results like yours, so fingers are tightly crossed! And again, congrats on your success! </p>

That's so exciting! Good luck on Wednesday! You'll do great and I'm sure you'll be in a bikini before you know it!

Hey Mandy. It's an amazing thing you have accomplished. Be proud. I lost 200 pounds and always saw a fat girl in the mirror. My best friend called it FFG syndrome: Former Fat Girl Syndrome. I've gained about 150 back and am scheduled to be sleeved 7/9. Break out the sun tan lotion and leave the fat girl behind...you have most definitely earned your moment in the sun!

I definitely think I'm suffering from FFG syndrome! But I'm trying to leave it behind. Congratulations on your date! I'm sure you'll do great and love being sleeved!

You look great, congratulations on your success.

You look fabulous! What a big moment! If you are like me, you never thought it would happen. Proud of you and congrats!

Thank you! I wore it to the lake today and it felt AMAZING!

Congrats on your surgery! The first week was definitely the hardest for me and it just got easier from there. My exercises of choice are Spin classes and Bodypump classes. Weight training is very important so don't forget that. But take exercise slow this early on in your journey. Wait til your doctor clears you and go as slow as your body tells you to for now. It was hard for me to get used to exercising on such low caloric intake.

You'll do great!

You look great

Wear it, you look awesome! So there is a little saggy skin-big deal. You look bkini ready to us, but it is all about how you feel. So, taoe a little cover up, but def sport the bikini. If you get self conciuos you have a little cover to help you feel better if needed... be brave! Conquer!! Lols

you look great

You look great! No need to be scared to wear that bikini.

Thanks y'all! My highest weight was 273 and now I'm 165! I had surgery on May 15, 2013.

Lylabelle- congrats on your surgery! You'll do great!

Here's a before an after pic so you see my pre op!

You are the exact same weight I was when I had my surgery last month! Your picks are inspiration! I hope I have as much success as you and can wear a bikini with confidence too. you look great!
