Dont Recognize Myself



Recommended Posts

Never thought this would happen, but since I lost weight and am close to goal, my face has changed very drastically. I always has a "thin" face even when I was at 40 BMI, but now at 30 BMI it's very different from I ever remember looking. Even when I weighed this same weight before. I feel in a way I am reluctant to lose more because I don't like my face as much... Anyone feel the same way?

I wish this was the case for me... I can't see any difference in my face or body for that matter. I take it that it is changing from input from my husband. Good luck.

Hm. I am not there yet, I think I am the opposite, when i was about 220 my face was fine and not fat, once I gained a few more pounds it was like all of a sudden I had the double chin from hell. I can hide it well in pictures, but the girl in the pictures isn't the girl I see in the mirror. I hope you find peace with your face, it looks beautiful to me from your picture, maybe a little bit of change would help you appreciate it more. A different hair cut? New make up?

It's probably not as thin as you think it is. You are so used to seeing a different you that you aren't used to it yet. I lose fast in my face too and am also worried it will make me less attractive in the face department. I say give it some time, see if you adjust.

The first place people notice when I lose weight is my face. I can lose 100 lbs and they say"Oh you've lost weight. I can see it in your face." Have you e er seen 100lbs on a face?!?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
