  1. 10 weeks and 53 pounds lighter. Other people see a difference, but I'm struggling to look in the mirror and see big changes. I feel a world of a difference and am immeasurably happier.

      I have to say this is one of the hardest parts of this whole process. Other people see it and you don't. Pictures are really important but I also kept a few pair of what I used to call my skinny jeans and a couple of my favorite tops. When I am feeling stressed, I try them on and then I laugh because it is crazy!

       

      I am two years post op and about to go through my 2nd plastics. I still look in the mirror and see me as fat sometimes. Or even in pictures. I know that I am not because I am a normal healthy weight but my brain is simply not as connected as it should be. I am told by my therapist that it will take time and sometimes even years for it to catch up but clothes and pictures are the best tool for me.

      Thank you for the advice ladies!! I know my mind will eventually catch up. For now I'm focusing on the most important aspect- how much happier and healthier I am!!!
