What does a 320 lb woman look like?



Recommended Posts

The clothing is a good point. I'm just under 6' and it's hell trying to find heels in my size (11). Not that I'd wear hoochie platforms like those. I can't imagine anyone her height finding stuff that isn't custom, especially if this weren't fake. And dresses... not that I could fit a dress like that on anything other than my calf, but if I could, it would come down as far as.... my belt, maybe. Long legs/height is hard to deal with. I often envy shorter people in some ways. I always seem to have an easier time finding "short" or "petite" than I do "talls".

Hey, wait a minute...

I must admit, the clothes and shoes, I thought, no way, that's fake. I mean even if you were *only* 6ft 5, you'd be a freaky sight and would you go around with your tits hanging out and hooker shoes dressed like that? I mean talk about attention seeking, lol.

heheh Wheetsin you have good eyes, the story behind that picture is it was taken at the same time BUT (gotta hate that word) the 6'5" girl was walking a few paces ahead of the shorter gal (I think they said she was 5'3" or something close to that) what they did was move half the picture "back" so it looked as if they are walking together instead of apart.

Which makes it fake because in a photo, the closer something is to the camera, the bigger it appears. Pushing her back like they are walking side-by-side is just like taking two different pictures, each with a different scale, and pasting them together.

Just look at the picture and it's obvious. The shorter girl is supposed to be 5'3" and she's supposed to be 6'5". Well, she sure looks more than 1"2" taller than the shorter girl.

My husband's cousin is 6'2" and wears size 12 or 13 shoes and she has shoes like that, she delights in wearing them. Shoe shopping is a pain and a half for her, but she finds shoes.

On another note, we found out that it is harder to find nice shoes for someone who wears size 6.5 EEEE (me) than for someone who wears a size 12. She thought it would be easy to find shoes for me, but when we went shopping we found three pairs for her and none that fit me. We spent a whole day at it.

Oh, broad feet. I am cursed with them. Like flippers.

My poor daughter, all she wants is pretty cheap shoes like other 5 year olds wear. What she gets is birkenstocks, nothing else fits her. I am fine with running shoes, boots, birks, any sandal/flip flop and any heel now though, but flat dress shoes, forget it. It seems to be a heel puts allt he pressure on your ball of your foot, and doesnt allow the foot to spread out like it does flat. So hopefully for Eliza, when she's older and wants more adult type shoes, she'll be fine. But for now, its terrible. I couldnt even find school shoes to fit her!

        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
