Recommended Posts

I started at 264 and now 219. Surgery was 4-22-13. I am having trouble feeling it and seeing it. I mean my clothes are loose and I see it a little. I cant wait until my brain catches up. i wonder how others see me? Can you tell a difference? Just a little or alot? I am serious, I am not being an attention *****. I dont need you to say "you look great"...Just whether it is noticable I lost weight.

I was having trouble with the pictures, I added a side by side, but they are different sizes. My son was making me hold the sword.

Everbody is Right our minds just need to catch up with our bodies I still haven't bought any clothes cause I still am scared to however people do notice more than me but when I take pics I am like really is it just the different mirrors or is this what I really look like I hope that is what I look like cause then I just go with it cause I know what I couldn't do before and what I can do and how my clothes fit now cause they have to be taken in or how they start to fall off lol so look at yourself you will know what other people r seeing even if we're not.

I suggest you take measurement. I wish I had gives you another source of confirmation besides scales. You look great. As said, don't wear baggy clothes they hide your weight liss

You look so much smoother in my opinion.. Its hard to tell because you see yourself every day. Do something that makes you feel gorgeous.. I do nails.. Don't wear such lose clothing.. Tailoring enhances all the good work you've done.. You look fab..;)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
