;) I knew it! :D They all look like you. Question, do you wear any bottoms over them? Are you thighs and legs still fit for prime time? :D I would have to put on swim shorts or use a wrap...

My thighs are totally not ready for prime time, saggy skin city! But I haven't worn any bottoms over them, I guess I just DGAF. 🤣 (I'm not sure why I will show my saggy thighs, but never my saggy tummy, hmmmm)

My heart grew 3 sizes! :) Note to self: adopt a more DGAF attitude. :) Yeah...saggy tummies...a WHOLE 'nother thread. :) hahaha Isn't it so weird how we are so hard on ourselves? ((hugs)) Those suit designs are all SO flattering. I bet your figure looks darling.

I agree the DGAF attitude is best. If you wait for perfection then you miss life. Anyway, have you see some of the men they don't worry! Every year my big concern is will I be able to get up the ladder onto the boat or will I have to swim home.

Most of my swimming is in lakes and creeks while hiking/backpacking or kayaking. So what I wear needs to be adventure ready. I have some new swim trunks that are like bike shorts, sports bra, and an athletic top that dries fast. That’s if there are other people around. If it’s just us, then the sports bra and shorts come off, as just undies and the light top will dry faster.

I love tankinis, and have a couple. I just never end up using them.

Thanks for the tip - I'll look there if this one doesn't work for me! I feel like it's been so long, I don't even know where to start! Would you care to share a pic of what you got??
These are the swim shorts I got. I really like them. You can get any swim top, any style, to go with it. Screenshot_20190521-221752_Chrome.jpeg

I never worried about being seen in a bathing suit, even at my heaviest. I enjoy the pool, so I didn't care what other people thought.

It is so cute, enjoy it! I bought a new swimsuit back in February, but I am hoping once it gets closer to swim time, I will need something smaller yet. (Fingers crossed!) I personally don't think I could ever buy a swimsuit online - I am too awkwardly shaped, I need the easy access to exchange if needed. I hope it works out for you!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
