Holy Crap! It's me in a swimsuit!



Recommended Posts

Some of you have asked for progress pics, and since I never do anything in a small way, I thought I'd go big and bare it all (almost). Keep in mind that in January, you could not have paid me a million bucks to even put on a swimsuit, much less be in the same zip code with a camera while wearing one, so this took a lot of courage for me. Be kind!

You are freaking gorgeous, and blue is def. your color. You look better in the brights, not to mention you have a wonderful shape. Beautiful and brave.

Aw, thank you. Notice that in my before picture, I am not looking at the camera. My husband had to sneak to get a picture of me, because if I had caught him, I would have smashed the camera to bits. I am NOT a fan of getting my picture taken. Hoping the band changes that!

You look awesome. Where is that suit from? It is very flattering. I started at 235, now 183. I want to lose 20-30 more pounds. Did you get banded in Jan or Feb? I was Jan. So far it is the best thing I have done for myself. Keep up the great work. Be proud you look GREAT.

Wow!! You look great and what courage! I'd have to have me a pitcher of Long Island Teas or something to be able to do that, scratch that it only takes a glass now:tongue_smilie:

Love your suit!

You started out about 5 lbs heavier than me, but looks like we're the same now. I was banded February 1, soon after you.

The swimsuit came from Kohl's, which is practically my house of worship. I buy almost all my clothes from there. I love that store!

Thanks so much for the compliments. It's those kind words that keep me going!

      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.
