You look amazing, keep up the good work. I am down 60lbs and don't see it either. My husband tells me all the time how great I look and how much weight that I have lost. For some reason we continue to see our old selves, as if we don't deserve to be healthy and thin. I know that you will meet your goal and beyond. Good luck with your New Life Journey.

Huge difference!! Great job! Its normal what you are experiencing. A lot of people have the same issue. Try going to a store and trying on some clothes. You are doing awesome!!!

You look great! Hope I do as well.

Absolutely! You are doing great!

Thank you all actually a guy came back to work today from paternity leave and saw me in the lunchroom and was like whoa u look smaller and I heisted to agree but he was like no I haven't seen u in a while so i see it. it's true that maybe we see ourselves daily so we really can't tell. Hooray to all of us may we reach our goals and stay there. Also wanted to share a coworker who I have heard had the band done years ago ( place or work 300 employees) I don't talk to her just smile and nod but I have heard she was huge and now she's ok size but yesterday i saw her getting bacon egg and cheese sandwich and today I saw her devour a chocolate cake like a Good piece. U ladies think i should maybe say something motivational to her. ??!

Think it depends how well you know her and how comfortable you feel.

I can see the difference, and the scale does not lie. You may not see it yourself for a while. For me the brain was the last thing to catch up with the image. Keep up the good work.

And the advice is NO, say nothing to others unless they ask you for advice. It may only embarrass them and make them feel even worse. Trust me from having been there. I KNEW I was huge, and would not have appreciated having it brought to my attention.

It has taken me a very long time to notice my loss, never mind to process it. There are still many days where I think I look the same, though taking regular photos to compare has helped. I also kept a pair of my original pants to try on when I'm not feeling so sure. Another method is to measure yourself so you're not just using the scale.

Hang in there!

I am down 30 as well and don't see a change. I was speaking to a close friend that also has been banded and she had lost 150lbs and SHE doesn't see a difference either. I think we let ourselves go for so long that we can't see a change.

WE usually feel better than we look! Our brains as stated already, takes time to catch up with our bodies. We've been eating the wrong stuff for so long and now we are eating and making better and wiser choices.

One day YOU will feel and look Great in your brain. It's right around the corner! Sometimes these corners are Big, but stay on track and you will get there.

Best wishes

Thank you all your so motivated and awesome. I decided not to say anything to the coworker she has to learn her self.

Definately see a difference in the pics. It's funny how we still see our fat selves in that mirror. In time the brain will catch up.

Congratulations, you look fabulous.

Yes you can see the difference! You look good!

You can soooo see it. You look amazing x
