First Bathing Suit in 9 years



Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone

You look fantastic!

I also have that loose skin issue - in the past month I have notices that my arms are WAY smaller. I haven't lost any more weight but everything seems to be shifting.

Lol, after 3 c-sections I already had a tummy flap, now with the weight loss all my skin on my back and stomach is loose, I'm just working on firming up the muscles underneath, my arms are the worst, I have what I call arm wings, lol. I have lost weight in about a week but just went down a pants size so I think my bodies just catching up. Good luck on your journey.

Ok' date=' I debated about posting this as I'm still bit insecure about all my loose extra skin but my hubby said its not very noticeable in these pics and I so wanted to share. We went to the beach for Mother's Day on Sunday and it was the first time I have worn a bathing suit without a huge coverup dress in the last 9 years. Here are two pics I'm 7 months out and 90 pounds down, about 15-20 pounds to go![/quote']

You look great! You don't have to hide anymore lose the skirt girlfriend I know it's hard but if I can you can too:)

Ps for all you who want to know the swimsuit is a Magicsuit from Victoria's Secret it sucks everything in I am not as sucked in as I could be in mine bc I bought it pre surgery and I always buy them 1 size smaller than my true size for maximum hold :) that one is a 14 And fits loose I need to order a new one in an 8.It cost a fair bit but is so worth it to hold in the jiggle:)

      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.
