Progress Pic from Halloween Share yours?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I'm from LA and sinceeee the Dodgers are in the world series, I wanted to support my team but still dress up for Halloween...

I decided to rock some boy shorts. I WOULD HAVE NEVER worn these before surgery. I was so insecure and in hiding. I developed social anxiety and never wanted to go anywhere or do anything. But I've lost 42 lbs and feeling confident. Yes, I have stretch marks, cellulite and fat, but why does that mean I should hide myself or not get to wear what "skinny" women wear?

So I put on booty shorts and didn't care who looked, who judged, I WAS HAPPY. 185 lbs and I am loving myself. oh and GOOOOO DODGERSSSSSS!

FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR HALLOWEEN PICS TOO!

Thank goodness we don't wear burkas. Still cracks me up that the professional female golfers are told to cover up. I think we better start complaining about all the men wearing tight pants playing football.

On second thought, I would never complain about men in tight clothing...I like the eye candy.

Mine is a little different. I’ve actually put weight on in the last year, I think about 10 lbs? Not sure but I’ve gained weight because I’ve eaten more and the weight gain has really improved my appearance and health. I didn’t try to gain weight by stuffing myself or anything I just have allowed my body to weight whatever it wants to. I stoped trying to control it.

Same for me. On April 1st of this year I weighed 102. I just had my 3 year surgiversary on November 4th and weighed 112. I typically weigh about 115 most days now, and I look much better with those extra pounds. PhotoGrid_1510501014343.jpg

Wow! I don’t meet too many people struggling with this as I do. Good for you! Yes you look way better I agree.

For me it’s really a challenge to keep weight on, both mentally and physically to eat enough. I was 114 at my lowest and looked really sickly. I definitely don’t want to ever weight that little again!

You look great. What was your start weight?

It was a big challenge for the first couple of years. On April 1st I quit smoking and I started receiving steroid injections in my neck. Since then, no problem gaining. I don't have any problem eating. I love to eat. I just get frustrated that it's so little then starving again in an hour. I hope your eating gets better for you. I know it's exhausting both mentally and physically.

We don't run into too many people like us, and people aren't always too friendly about it either. I've had some pretty nasty comments thrown my way. It's nice to meet someone else that knows the what it's like.

Looking good.
Doesn’t look like your breasts have been affected much. My wife’s titties are all but gone.

      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
