I'm a big AW too!

so it was one year ago today that I had my surgery.  I was just uploading my newest pictures and I looked at my before picture for the first time in about 5 months and holy crap I was a fatty, still am but sooo much less so.  I'm not posting my before because it's just horrible, but I'll include my 1 month post-op photos.

Re: I'm a big AW too!

  • Awesome job, Mashed!
    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
  • Pretty! I love how you've shifted to bright colors and just look happier.

    Wow. You look fantastic.

    Do you find that you still think of yourself as a heavy person though? And try on/buy stuff in a bigger size and it's too big?

  • To se the pictures side by side is amzing.  You look great and I will second Fallin's point.

  • Holy crap! I gasped when I saw the new photos. You look terrific.

  • thanks all.  and yes, TSD I definitely still see myself as fat and try on clothes that are too big because it's crazy to think I could fit into a smaller size.

    I always do the same thing. Like, I'd automatically buy XL shirts without trying them on, bring them home and be all WTF.

  • Daaaaaaaamn, Gina! You looks spectacular! Younger even!

  • You amazing. May I suggest a belt? Time to accent that hourglass figure. You look great. 
    image Ready to rumble.
  • You are so pretty. 

    You don't have to answer this, but have you found a problem with the excess skin? I want to get healthier, but like I've said, my FUPA is already a flap-a and I'm worried what will happen if healthier leads to skinnier. I'm also worried that my boobs will just tip me entirely over because nothing has ever shrunk those bicthes.

  • Wowza, you look great.  I agree with Fallin -- how happy you look makes the biggest difference.

    If I were a man (or fitty) I'd totally call my penis THE WIZARD - HappyTummy
  • mouse, I lost quite a bit slower than a lot of people do so I don't think my excess skin is too bad.  my boobs are a problem for sure though, it's just sad.  my underarms aren't so great either but then again they never were. honestly, I tell my H I'm going to get a boob job and tucks and whatnot but I probably wont, I don't think I care that much and he doesn't seem to mind.  I've heard the recovery from plastic surgery is a lot more difficult than the gastric bypass so I think I'm good.

  • You look amazing, lady!  If I were you, I think I would be shopping for all kinds of new cute clothes!
  • You are brutiful and I am so proud of you Mashed.

  • Kristen, belts still scare me, I think they make me look fat, but that's probably not true.

    Wendy, shopping for clothes is hard now, there are so many more options it's a bit overwhelming, not to mention expensive.  I'm hoping to lose another 20 or so, so I don't want to buy too much yet.

  • You know what?  You were pretty before, but now you're just stunning.  You just look happier and more confident and sassy as hell. I'd hit that.

  • Thank you. As soon as I wrote it I was worried that you'd think I was a raging cuntrag for asking instead of minding my business. It just interests me because everyone's experiences are so different. 

    I don't know if I will lose weight, because of my sister I'm trying to not concentrate on the scale, but more exercise and better eating might change my body shape. If it doesn't, I'm okay with that, although secretly I'd like to fit into better clothes. Sadly I was not blessed with very elastic skin, so hopefully slow body changes won't wreak too much havoc.
