Look out world, here I come in a bikini



Recommended Posts

Good for you! You look great! I have never worn a bikini in my adult life! I don't ever expect to. Maybe in the privacy of my own back yard or something. Haha But who knows, I guess only time will tell.

The last time I wore a bikini I was in 4th grade. I was self conscious even then. I look back at pics from that time and I see I wasn't fat but in my mind I was.

Isn't that amazing...I think back to high school and college and was sooo unhappy with my weight, and now that weight is my goal weight.

Go girl! One weird question.... How would you react if someone saw your scars and asked if you had WLS? There is a lady in my complex I saw at the pool with the scars and she looked great. I wanted to say something, but was worried it might not be received well....

Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with answering if someone asked me...however, do I think it is polite to ask? No, probably not =)

Good for you! I've rocked the bikini at 300 & at 150... my stretch marks are so faded, my surgery scars are barely visible, and I get really tan, so I love the sun & I've never let my weight affect that. Am I happy with how I look in one? Nope, I wasn't at 150 or 300...but now if/when I get to that weight...I will be happy. I'm older & wiser! I can relate to your comment.

      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.
