    I like it, I think it fits nicely. Another 5-10 lbs and you’ll be tripping over it, lol

    I’m only 11 weeks post op now. I still don’t see too much of a difference but I’m down 57 lbs (32 since surgery). The left pic is the day of surgery, the right was yesterday (before putting on my makeup). I guess I have a neck and more defined cheekbones now, lol. You all look awesome

    All of this! I despised pics and I always felt bad looking at pics of myself. I stuck to face shots and only if they were taken by me. So glad to know I’m not the only one who is okay with it now 😊

    My most recent NSV (if I can be considered one) was that my friend snapped a pic of me without my knowledge and sent it to me and I didn’t completely hate it, lol

    I have had several NSV recently...
    my favorite is that as of Wednesday I am off of my quick acting insulin and my other shot has been taken down from 35 units to 20 units.
    My A1C is now 5.4 and I may actually be off of another medication by the time I have my surgery.
    I have not had as much knee pain which makes it easier to walk around.

    This is a major one!!! I feel like in the past taking pictures I haven't hated always required several shots at very purposeful angles with me trying very hard to sit/stand/breathe in the right places...and even after all that I often just hated them. What a great feeling to like a "real" and candid shot of yourself!!

    My NSVs from today:
    Went to old navy wearing my now very very loose size 22 jeans. Tried on a bunch of size 18s and the size 16s which were only a SMIDGE too small for right now! And I got an XL sweater! I also bought a pair of “pixie” chinos in a dark pink/maroon color - way out of my black pants and black sweater ‘uniform’ of the last several years/multiple decades!

    I also might be wearing a new/not my usual thing dress tomorrow if I work up the courage :)

    I think we all get some form of body dysmorphia along the way. We can’t see what everyone else sees and maybe it because we are our own worst critics. You probably look very different and don’t even know it! Thank you! And I’m still fighting the good healthy fight, lol

    lol! I don’t even see a difference in the temples but my sunglasses did start falling off of my face! It’s odd seeing the definition coming in!
