All of my overweight life I never had a 'big' face. In fact, it was probably one of the smallest parts of my body. Last year after finding out I had a thyroid problem I had gained 65 lbs in 5 months. The weight this time went to my face (not all of it of course), it was the first time I had to LOOK at my once small face and see how disfigured it looked. It is still hard for me to see the photos without tearing up, but I wanted to share the difference weight loss has made in the shape of my face, as I continue to keep losing....

funny though because I still see a round face in my pics. Doesn't help when my hubby has a narrow thin face!

Both pics are beautiful in different ways, none look "disfigured." We go through things in life, ups and down, and so do our bodies. Look at the before pic and instead of tearing up think about how far you have come =)

Congrats, you got this!

I had the same thing happen to me. I gained about 60 lbs in 4 months while they figured our it was my thyroid. I was just banded 2/22 so i hope to see such a great change in myself. You look great and are a great inspiration.

Great job on the weight loss. I had my thyroid removed several years ago & my weight has been a constant battle. I do not wish hypothyroidism on my worst of enemies. I am thankful for my WL surgeon finding that my meds needed to be increased. I feel much better:) Keep up the hard work & you look WONDERFUL!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
