    Many times prior to surgery we are unaware of the extent of our obesity. We do not really look at ourselves in the mirror. We avoid being in photographs. Therefore, it isn't obvious how much weight we have really lost when the pounds begin to drop off. Before I had surgery, I took an very unflattering photograph of myself and then after surgery at the 6 month mark, I took another as a comparison. I used the same pose.

    I'm pre-op so couldn't really say but it looks like you should mourn all the extra money you'll be spending on shopping ))

    Feeling gross and looking gross are 2 different things. What is your goal weight? I wouldn't expect you to see or feel a huge change with 20 pounds either. I don't feel like some of us really appreciate what surgery does for us until we hit uncharted territory. I appreciated my loss but it wasn't until I got somewhere I had never been and never imagined, a size 8, that I was really in awe.

    When I had water in the beginning, my stomach would spasm too. I found that warm liquids were way better than cool or cold. Try that and see how it goes. You'll be able to get more in too. Another thing, keep walking. Even if it's just mini walks throughout the day. It gets better every single day! Just hang in there hon!!

    @grrlann I have been overweight since I was 3 years old. It's been a lifelong struggle, one I'm trying to break free of now. That's great you are doing so well! Congrats to you!

    @njgal it is! I am now a size 14/16 to 18/20 top and 22 bottom. I probably am actually smaller on bottom but I have A LOT of extra skin. I am having it removed June 5th though! [emoji51]

    What are your protein and water goals? Do you keep track of carbs?
