10 Weeks post op..!

[Ready For Change]

Hi guys and gals!
It's been a while since I was here but I have some fantastic news! I'm now 10 weeks post op and have lost a staggering 3 stone..!!!! I'm thrilled with my new self and I'm feeling so much happier, content and most of all excited for my future. I've had my hair cut quite short and dyed auburn ready for the autumn!
I do have some before and after pics but I'm in my bra and knickers as I thought that was the best way to see the change, I will happily post them on here but would like peoples opinions before I do so as I don't want to ruffle any feathers. I just think it's a great way of illustrating the potential loss in a very honest, un-airbrushed way.
My energy has rocketed and I am now clothes shopping in charity shops as it's much cheaper than shopping every few weeks in proper clothes shops.
If anyone has any questions at all, no matter how personal, cheeky, silly then please please ask me. I feel so blessed to have been given this chance that I want to give something back and if that something is sharing my experience then bring it on.
Xxxxxx

Yey Julia, you are also doing fantastic! I hope you feel as thrilled with the results as I am. I'll have a think about posting the pics, they're not rude or suggestive in any way but I feel like not everyone would appreciate that I want to post them for motivational purposes. Keep at it chick, you're doing sooooo well! Xxx

Yeah Katie, post them!!
Going to the charity shops is a great idea by the way, had already thought of that! As well as stuff that I have in storage.
But yes, it will be a good way to see the difference, being photographed in your undies xx

Post them
But you might want to post them in Private chat so people have to have 50 posts to see them.Then you won't have any passing weirdo checking out your undies
I took photos pre-op in my undies and some fully clothed the undies ones are for me to look back on and I may post them here when I am brave enough

Katie
That is brilliant! No wonder you are pleased. And you have reminded me to get a photo taken today as I just started my pre op diet!
I am looking forwards to following your progress

Katie you are doing so well... I'd love to see your before and after pics too.

Julia you are doing really well too .. go you xx

 

[Louanne79]

Post them.
I wish I'd done something similar so I could 'see' my progress.
I think it's also good that people who are at the beginning of their journey can see the effects on the body, rather than just emotions, appetite and eating habits.
Good on you! And you're doing so well, chuffed for you.
xXx

Thanks Julia xx

You're doing fantastic:happy096:. I'm on a mission now as I've got Florida booked for next year. I was there in 2009 on my honeymoon when I was at my heaviest and it's going to be amazing just getting on a ride without worrying if I'll fit..! Keep up the good work.
