Showing Off The New Bikini Body



Recommended Posts

...well in 6 years time anyway! My cousin just informed me that she wants to Celebrate her 40th in Fiji, so she's given the family plenty of notice to save up.

At least I'll have a hot bikini body to show off this time (after removal of the excess skin of course), instead of hiding in boardies and t-shirts as I have in the past.

Looks like I may get to show off my body earlier, as my sister and I are planning to go to Hawaii next September. Although the body may not be ideal, I hopefully won't need to cover up.

So excited!!!

My partner and I were planning to go somewhere tropical at the end of the year but I decided I want to have a sexy bikini body before I go haha. My surgery is next month so I should be able to go in a year or so I hope :)

Fiji would be awesome!

I'm aiming to be at goal by one year post op (reasonable time frame?) and hopefully have surgery either end of 2013 or early 2014.

I want to reach my goal in one year too. It's a reasonable timeframe depending on how much you have to lose. Do you mean surgery to remove excess skin? My doc said I don't have to worry about that because I'm only 20 but if I had excess skin I would get it removed

Yeah excess skin. Unless it bounces back just that little bit (which I can't see it doing), I will need it removed. I've lost close to 55lb in just under 3 months.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
