Well folks, sitting here in the UK and I can tell you one thing, no one is going to be wearing any skimpy swimwear here this Easter weekend. The rain is pissing down and the sky is a leaden grey. It's back to wellies and long raincoats. The Easter Bunny has gone on strike and disappeared down into the warmth of his warren. Oh to be in England now that Spring is here.................hmmmmmmm? Think not. Hope you are warmer and sunnier stateside. Whatever the weather, hope you all have a lovely Easter and treat yourselves to just the teeniest chocolate egg. Enjoy x

For the record -

When I posted my local weather report earlier, it was stupid o'clock and I was laying in bed, looking at the forecast on my phone...

It's now daylight and I can confirm that I was completely misinformed..

It's a dark, overcast, shitty day here...

The perfect day to write a couple of job applications and stalk some people on here...

See you soon (even if you don't see me..... ;-))

Cheeky!!!!!!!!! It's the thought of you dear boy in that strip of Lycra that has addled my poor brain! Anyway, at 59 1/2 I'm allowed to talk about the weather. I'm practicing to be a miserable old git. But hang on, a NSV for me this week-bought a beautiful, black leather biker jacket in a UK size 14. Yay!!!!!!!! Looks fab with black jeans and slightly high black boots. I haven't had the boots on for about 9 years as they couldn't get up my calves. I'm so pleased! I'm having fun with my clothes now instead of hiding the rolls of suety, lardy rolls of flab under track suits. What my husband doesn't know cos I've hidden them, is that there is a new pair of black, very long boots waiting to be worn once the legs get a wee bit thinner. Must go and get some new, sleek black leggings to wait with them. I wish I had had surgery years ago. I am in the process of growing old VERY disgracefully. By the way, have managed to swim half a mile every morning this week. Ain't life grand. Yes, I've got some real crap going on in the background of my life but my slowly diminishing silhouette doesn't half cheer me up. Happy Easter bariatric pals x

Thank you kindly guys. Hopefully I look even better now as I'm three months further on since that pic was taken on Christmas Day. I cannot imagine how I went for so long kidding myself that I was happy being a wobbly dollop. I may not be quite the right candidate for a bikini (age, cellulite etc.) but I'm having so much fun strutting around and feeling very pleased with myself just for getting on with the surgery and then learning to eat properly (thus giving me a body that can wear great clothes). I am soooo past the baggy tracksuit days and I LOVE it!!!!!!????

So gorgeous! Do you mind if I ask what plastics you got? I'm thinking of getting a Tummy Tuck but I'm not sure if I should wait to have kids first

Hello Smallbird, I assume that you are asking me what plastics I got and not KindaFamiliar? Maybe you are asking he who is going to pop his plums into that thin, sliver of Lycra but.............. maybe that is stretching the imagination a tad too far-back off KindaFamiliar-JOKE!!!! You are naturally gorgeous. Back to the point, I haven't had any plastics done. If I can tighten things up with exercise and luck I'm going to stick with that. Best way to find out about plastics and people's experiences is to post your questions and there are bound to be lots of answers out there. If I wasn't such an old git I would no doubt be asking all sorts of things myself. Good luck with your research.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
