Thank you for being brave and posting your beautiful pictures. They have given me so much hope. I am one week post op from sleeve and beginning to look like a Mrs. potatoes head. My face is slimming down. I notice my wrist and feet look slimmer. And then I see the blob of my stomach. I look strange. :) I am excited about this journey but this thread has helped me keep my eye on the prize as I have my endless supply of Protein Shakes and faith that my body is doing the work. Thank you.

Okay, so I decided to rummage through some clothes upstairs. pardon the mess, but I’ve got a whole room full of clothes that are in stages: too large, but it’s not the right season to try to sell to consignment store, clothes that the store wouldn’t take and are being processed out for giving to friends, family or goodwill store, clothes that I’ve had for ages in storage that are about to fit me.
Then I came across this pair of jeans I ordered off of eBay last month and when I got them they were a half size too tight.
Well I tried them on again and they (mostly) fit.
They’re really tight across the hips (one of my problem areas) but by this time next month they should be fairly comfy.

I wouldn’t say that they’re an outfit that makes me feel good today, but maybe by September 1st, I’ll be able to sit down in them and also be able to breathe. 🤣🤣🤣

Who told you those are too tight ?? Who told you THOSE hips were a problem???

NOPE they fit like a glove

Alright i think everyone needs to practice these affirmations:

I am gorgeous right now

I have a perfect figure right now

I will buy clothes in my true size right noe

I will drink Matcha or coffee right now so Greentealael can live vicariously through me

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol. Okay okay.
Honestly I’ve always worn baggy clothes to “hide” fatness (yeah, not possible, but that was my logic).

Then WLS and things really got loose.
It feels really really weird to wear clothes that aren’t bagging off of my body and I guess I’m going to have to get used to it when things fit “more snugly” than I’m used to.

I’m going to have to get over the feeling of “if my waistband digs into my waist when I sit down” and associate that feeling with wearing clothes In my actual size rather than associate that feeling with “omg, I gained 5 pounds this month!”

The former will be a good feeling, the latter is something I’ve felt shamed by most of my adult life.

I think for that reason it’s been tough for me to buy things that fit me, fit me.
Ya know?

I got a new dress, it is crazy comfortable. Ignore my tank top under it, I was just trying it on! ...upon further notice I can see my tank is all bunched up underneath lol.

Being feminine is not my strong suit.

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
