Holy Crap! It's me in a swimsuit!



Recommended Posts

Some of you have asked for progress pics, and since I never do anything in a small way, I thought I'd go big and bare it all (almost). Keep in mind that in January, you could not have paid me a million bucks to even put on a swimsuit, much less be in the same zip code with a camera while wearing one, so this took a lot of courage for me. Be kind!

You are freaking gorgeous, and blue is def. your color. You look better in the brights, not to mention you have a wonderful shape. Beautiful and brave.

Aw, thank you. Notice that in my before picture, I am not looking at the camera. My husband had to sneak to get a picture of me, because if I had caught him, I would have smashed the camera to bits. I am NOT a fan of getting my picture taken. Hoping the band changes that!

You look awesome. Where is that suit from? It is very flattering. I started at 235, now 183. I want to lose 20-30 more pounds. Did you get banded in Jan or Feb? I was Jan. So far it is the best thing I have done for myself. Keep up the great work. Be proud you look GREAT.

Wow!! You look great and what courage! I'd have to have me a pitcher of Long Island Teas or something to be able to do that, scratch that it only takes a glass now:tongue_smilie:

Love your suit!

You started out about 5 lbs heavier than me, but looks like we're the same now. I was banded February 1, soon after you.

The swimsuit came from Kohl's, which is practically my house of worship. I buy almost all my clothes from there. I love that store!

Thanks so much for the compliments. It's those kind words that keep me going!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
