Loose Skin


Thus far, I’m down over 72 pounds.  So far, so good.  And I’m really liking what I see in the mirror these days.  When I’m dressed, anyway.

Undressed, not so much.  My skin fits me like my old size 22/24 clothes!  Everything sags or wrinkles.  I have loose skin on my forearms, fergodsake!!  Sheesh!!

I am 6 months post surgery.  I’m over half-way to my goal weight and in a size 14/16.  I just hope that time will decrease the size of my skin at least some!!  The only bra I have that fits isn’t made anymore and everything I try on in the stores is horrible.  Flesh just drips out of them and over them and all over.  I don’t know what I’m going to do when it gets too big.  Guess I’ll just have to keep trying and hope I can find something!!

So, I’m wearing a size 14/16 in clothes but my skin is still a size 22.  Too bad I can’t buy a new one at the thrift store like I can jeans!!
