Response to: does anyone end up in bikini...



Recommended Posts

So awhile ago I saw a post saying: does anyone end up in a bikini. (I couldn't find it for some reason)

I responded on the topic as a preop saying "one day, I will wear one even if it's -40 outside." post-262421-1448257571174_thumb.jpg post-262421-14482575858203_thumb.jpgI live in Minnesota so yes that's a thing.

Well today, it was 20 degrees.

And I put on a bikini.

And I felt so good about it ;)

Is it where I want to be, no. But it's progress and I can't wait for the summer to rock this!

@@LoseItKacy - rock it girlfriend!

I am 52 and NO, even on a hot day here in FL, I will not take a picture in a bikini :D

I may wear one under a t-shirt this summer and hop in the pool - minus the t-shirt - but NO pics!

Probably not for me at age 64. But time and more loss may surprise me! Looking good girl.

It's funny you mention that. I hate my chest. I went from a DDD to a B or a C I've been so self conscious about it since I've been losing weight. I've lost 61 pounds. 39 of that as a post op in 8 weeks.... I feel like 20 of it was boob. I think the swim suit makes them look better than what they really are lol but I would rather lose my boobs than battle obesity and my mom had breast cancer so I can't complain. :) thank you all

Congratulations you are amazing, I recently posted some pics on FB for my friends, I started in January @ 388lbs and on my surgery date June 10th I was @ 342.2, today 5 months out I am @ 269lbs, I was a size 60w and the last time I bought scrubs I was at 52w, I was shocked last Wednesday when I had to go with a size 48w pant, I told my friends to excuse my pic but I wasn't going to try to hold my stomach in or hide anything, while I am proud and continue my weight loss I also never want to forget to be humble, but your pic is truly amazing and believe it or not it's people like you that make me wanna keep going, fortunately you will never see me in a bikini lol, but I want to take a pic in swim trunks when I hit 200lbs, keep going.......

Today, because I saw this post, I too put on a bikini! Then the strangest thing happened - my wife walked in and said "what the hell are you doing?", I'm guessing the bikini didn't fit yet!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
