I post pictures like this one because I look and I can't believe it's me. I do see the lumps and bumps but even exhausted and with bed head I look better than I did 14 months ago with all my slap on.

I have to admit I don't find it daunting now to wear the brighter colours.

I must say I'm rather braver now with my clothes...and why not!
I've spent the last 20 years wearing bloody Evans,Evans and more Evans!
My last purchase was an American pin up girl corset top in 12/14 from eBay..,that I'm going to wear with jeans!..can't wait!

Just out of curiosity yvessa what's happened to fuffs?
No long termers are hardly around anymore..

Sounds lovely Emma Louise Fuffs and I stay in touch via FB, she was very unhappy with the issues around some members not being challenged wrt the rules of the forums while others were and felt unable to continue posting here.

That's a real shame...hardly anyone long term stays around now,
How's she doing regarding weightloss..she used to post some great pics of her progress..like you x

 

[Yvessa]

I know - I suspect many are lurking sadly. She's doing we'll but has had a hard year with illness.

I hope things work out ok for her x
Just sometimes I wonder about past members and how they are keeping,
I'm 3 years post op in sept and at times it would be nice to relate to a long term bypasser.
As I think you have complete different issues the more long term you are than the newly bypassed people.

 

[Yvessa]

I can understand that hon.

 

[Eve30]

I really appreciate all you long term peeps and hope I can stay on too as its really useful hearing from you! And yvessa that is fantastic and yes can see its a just out of bed no makeup look but that dress steals the show anyway!! Really fantastic!!

glad I found your posts.

I'm 5ft6.5 and currently 242lb as of today.

I hadnt noticed size change until my jeans werent staying up. Bought size 20 and less than 2 weeks later dropped again to 18, but a little bigger on top. I didnt dream of getting the 18s on - just tried them to see how far they'd go. They're from NEXT and I've been convinced the labels are wrong (3 pairs) or they are oversized from what they should be. Can't believe my bum has shrunk that much in a month !!

I'm guessing now maybe it has :-o

Well done! Getting into 18s is such a milestone
