So Bummed!!

Joni, Thank you for your reply your words were very kind. I'm feeling much better now, I guess I just needed a pick me up!! Also I took some pics of myself (well DH took them) of me in a little black dress that I bought for my best friend several years ago when she lost a bunch of weight, but now she's gained and now that I've lost I can fit into it so she let me bring it home and show off to the hubby!! I'll post with a link so you all can see it later. Thanks again!! God Bless

Hi Amanda, Don't be bummed! You are very attractive and you could not look that bad in a bathing suit. I think it is hard to accept that the skin does not do what we want after the fat is gone. And, it is hard to cover up the legs in a bathing suit. I have the same problem. I had a lot of fat on my inner thighs and now it is pretty flabby. I just go right on with my bathing suit. I figure it looks a lot better than all the fat did in a bathing suit and I wore one then. So, you go on and enjoy yourself. Also, my husband thinks I'm beautiful and that is all that matter to me. Take care! Deb

Deb, You are soo right!! It was my upper arms (I would wave twice at people with all the skin) and all of my thighs, inner and outter and hips and well you get the picture!! But I'm sure I look better now than I did then, I need to pull out some old pics of me from when my girlfriends and I went swimming (pre-op) and look at those and compare, I'm sure I'll feel better!
