What will I look like?



Recommended Posts

Since surgery, I was wondering what I will look like. I mean, you see women with all kinds of shapes and forms, bottom heavy, top heavy, boyish figure, broad shoulders, broad hips, dainty, athletic -- I haven't been a normal weight adult, my figure went to shits around 16 or so, so I kept wondering what I will look like.

Same with my face - will my nose look too big if my face is shrunk to normal size? I have a weak chin with doesn't bode well for the overweight, but once I lose that fat, will it still look real weak or will it at least have a little bit of visible chin bone?

So, yesterday I was in the bathroom looking at myself with my "before jeans" - you know, the jeans I was wearing for the "before" picture that had that horrendous camel toe and that I couldn't sit down in and started to turn blue after a few minutes. I turned around in front of the mirror to see my body "profile" and turned a little more and there it was. My a$$.

And I realized, I never really saw my ass before in many many many years - at least not without the three door folding mirror things. Now I could just turn around and see it.

Not sure what shrunken body part allowed me to get this new view, but it was fun.

I still don't know what I will look like at goal weight, but I am pretty sure I'll have a bangin' ass in a few months, LOL!

Haha thanks for the morning laugh! I completely understand what you are saying. I still have a long way to go but I am seeing parts of my body I have not seen in 20 years, or have never seen at all w/o that 3 way mirror thing. Unfortunately, I have always had a non existent butt, and losing weight will only increase that non existence. Oh well, better no butt, than one someone could rest a dinner tray on!

Good job on your loss!

I have to tell you that is the funniest thing I have read today...I just hope I have an a$$ when I am all done.

I think that having a great sense of humor going through this makes all the difference....

@Susanne - what an amazing NSV!!! LOL I bet you were just like... :blink: - at least that's how I do when I realize I'm doing something for the first time in a long time. Whoohooo!!!! Continue to rock that sleeve lady!!!

@ Jane - that's so funny you mention a booty that you can rest a plate on. I was talking to a lady this weekend that mentioned a butt and called it a "shelf". OMG -- I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!! LOL!! Now, she's the nicest lady so I know she meant no harm, in fact she said it that way to avoid just saying "fat butt"... haaa!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
