Hey guys! I just wanted to share with you a HUGE nsv I've recently experienced. I have lost almost 75 pounds, and last week, I bought my first bikini ever. And the best part? I LOVE it! My entire life I have been overweight or obese, and while I still have about 45 pounds to lose, I am thrilled and so proud to have the confidence to wear this bikini this summer.
Here's a before picture, the bandages are from gallbladder surgery. My weight here was 302 pounds.
And here is a picture of my bikini. My current weight is 227.4. I am 5'11".

I actually had a tummy tuck after losing the first 50 pounds because I had a big apron of skin hanging down. That's one of the reasons it's so flat

How was it?
Expensive? Recovery time?
Last time I lost weight (80 lbs) had a grotesque amount of skin left and thought about treating myself to that type of surgery.1 -

Yes it was expensive and insurance usually will not cover it. I was able to start light exercise after 6 weeks of down time. I got an infection and that may have slowed my recovery time. It was all totally worth it though. I love my new tummy!1 -
Congrats, you look amazing.1
-
Cute suit and you look amazing in it.1
-
Get it, girl!! You look amazing. I'm 5'11" as well and know how much it sucks to try to find a one-piece swimsuit that doesn't give you a massive wedgie, so it must be a relief to be able to rock that bikini!1
-
nice job! You look awesome! Enjoy your bikini! I also got a tummy tuck after I lost 50 or so lbs...best money I ever spent and wish I had done it 10 years earlier! BUT...it is a hard recovery and painful surgery!1

Amen. Camel toes are not a good summer look. And tankinis always ride up. All of which points to the fact bikinis are the best option!1 -
Awesome job!!0
