So, one day you look in the mirror post-op, and you notice you're LOSING WEIGHT!

How do you feel?

I just got approved, and surgery is on June 30th. I feel like is this really happening? Anyways, I just want to know how you guys felt when you randomly looked in the mirror one day and you notice that you're actually losing weight, and you don't recognize yourself anymore! Tell me all about it, I'm all ears!

I take pics every week so I can visually see the change from one week to the next. It really helps me keep going when I can visually see the progress. I would suggest this to everyone :)

Mirrors have never been my friend and it takes me a long time before I begin to notice the weight difference.

The one thing that made me jump for joy was when I could feel my hip bones while lying down in bed. Now my morning ritual is to feel my flatter belly and hip bones before I get up and start my day. I see it as a physical and mental ritual to remind me that my body is changing and to motivate me for the day ahead.

I did, and I loved it. I knew then I was beautiful. I was so in shock I pulled out my camera and snapped a picture of it. I was amazed. I dont see it every day so when I do I am shocked and happy all over again.
