body dysmorphia big time! This picture was right after I had my first round of plastic surgery.. thighs & arms... but I still don't recognize the reflection in the mirror.

Aah, body dysmorphia. Yes, we all go through that in some form or another. That’s why this thread is so great - those pxts don’t lie & everyone is really supportive & gives honest feedback.

I still get surprised when I see the reflection of a slim woman in a shop window & realise it’s me. One day I was sitting & trying on shoes. I glanced up & thought wow that woman has great legs. I looked up & around to see who she was & realised they were my legs in a mirror. It just takes time to recognise what you really look like now & accept it’s pretty darn good.

Put on that dress & wear it proudly.

I agree with everyone else! You are totally rocking that dress and look amazing. Have a girls night out, a date night, or take yourself out in it-you’ll light up the room!

Was on vacation in Maui last week with Mom, Sister, Nephew, and Niece. Had an amazing time and took a surf lesson with the kids. So much fun! Would have never been able to do this before! Sunset is from the backyard of Mom’s Maui house. Fam pic from left to right: Sister, Niece, me, Nephew, and Mom. Kids are almost 13 and almost 15.

Well I’m beginning to think this outfit is jinxed.

The two times I’ve been going to wear it the event has been cancelled due to COVID. First time was my birthday dinner two weeks ago. Second time is dinner tonight as we’re going into a three day lockdown from 4pm. 😥

Wonder what will happen if I decide to wear it again? Is a H&M buy. Spied the sequins as I was walking buy.

What a wonderful time together @WishMeSmaller. And glorious weather too.

First vacation to wear a bikini!! It def felt strange and awesome all at the same time. Legs are still very loose and flabby (can’t see in pic-)but overall I was just so excited to be in a bikini!!!
Lots of snorkeling. My niece found this starfish. Of course we put it back after taking pics.

Thanks but they really are very loose and flabby. I had some PS done in Jan for loose skin. Thinking of more for my legs but it’s just so expensive.
I try to take pics w my legs behind something or close enough that you can’t see them. I’ll PM you

@Kris77 you look amazing! I’m with you, my thighs look pretty rough. Like you though I imagine my new upgraded boobs distract anyone from noticing them 😂

      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.
