Anyone compete in bikini after weight loss surgery?

I really want to compete but need someone who's done it to give me tips on macros and workouts. And skin. Haha.

You have great aspiration! I'm just happy I can use a regular bathroom stall again!!

Ha! Yeah I went to a show this morning that my friend was competing in and it was so inspiring. I've wanted to do it for a long time. Now I have hope that I'll actually be able to!

I'm trying to limit my bikini competitions these days so I'm probably no help......

I want to do one of those as well! I've been doing a lot of research on it. Follow a diet plan? IIFYM? The skin issue.... It's not that bad but it's there. And at 45 years old it would be so f&@$ing awesome to get that fit and smoking in a bikini!

where are you at in your journey? Has your research been fruitful? I can't seem to find any stories about bariatric peeps competing in bikini!

Forgive my ignorance, what kind of competition? Body building? Beauty? Something else?

I thought the same thing...what is the competition....and where do I go to cheer them on??

Here is a pic pretty much explaining the difference between the different classes

So you can see the bikini class has a much more feminine look, less muscle definition than the other ones

is it just me, or are these ladies super scary to look at! why why why ... !!

[B-52 7,113]

Ok, now I'm turned off....

[yogachick 56]

Ha. Yeah I don't enjoy looking at the figure or body building classes. But I definitely enjoy the bikini shape. That's what I'm going for.

My cousin did one of those competitions and its insanely difficult to get that fit. She placed 3 in the competition in Dallas which is insanely awesome but she also had to prepare for it for about 1 year. Good luck and I hope you are able to get there one day!

Time for a reality check. We all dream. Make the dream realistic. Loose the weight first then make you plans.

Nothing wrong with having goals. Less than a year and a half post op I have 18% body fat and am running a marathon next month. Ran 30 miles total last week, 18 for my long run.

How will you know if you don't try?
