Beach-Bikini Day



Recommended Posts

Am very active as a rule; especially Water sports. My whole life I've spent covered up in a full one-piece with board shorts and a long-sleeved rash guard before hitting the waves, but...

Part of the pre-op courses stress the importance of loving the body we are in now, or else we risk not loving the post-op body later. Decided to finally take on my personal leap of bravery challenge yesterday and hit the Water in a two-piece with the only coverup being sunscreen in my 335.0 pound body.

It was AWESOME.

I know plenty of people disagree with the sentiments here, but have to say—when I look back on this photo in a year, I will smile remembering the exact moment I embraced my life and stepped over the threshold.

Body love is caring enough to take responsibility for your health. Body positivity is loving yourself at all of the stages.

The BF took this amazing picture.

Don't care how much I weigh now, everything about this picture is "Me," and totally perfect.

If you can wearing a bathing suit, you are beach body ready. It is nice to see someone with a healthy self-esteem posting on here.

Those are great pictures and you look like you are going to be one of the lucky ones with very little loose skin. Your skin right now is awesome and you barely have fat rolls.

Great luck with surgery!

OH man, I'm incredibly hormonal today and this made me tear up a little! I remember that moment, and how beautifully cathartic is was. Stay amazing! And by the way, I freaking love your bathing suit. You're beautiful. :D

I love this post. I have this crazy theory that everyone looks their best in the beach in a bathing suit in the sunshine! Feel good, look good!

You truly are Venus rising from the sea. Botticelli, Titian and the others would swoon.

Many talk about becoming "a new me" after surgery, but they'll still be themselves. However they will think and feel about themselves and their places in the world came from their pasts, not thunderbolts.

You're from the sea and you own a thunderbolt.

      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?

      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
