Updated picture

So I went over a friend's house I haven't seen in many many years and we took a photo before I left. I decided to compare it to the photo I took the day before surgery. I can't see much of a difference yet but I definitely feel a lot different now. My feet don't hurt and I don't get winded easily anymore. I am still wearing the same size clothes although some things are getting a little baggy.

Just thought I would share. I also chopped of 8 inches from my hair since then too.

Edit: Whoops the photo should say day before surgery 363, sorry typo.....

Love the smile on the after surgery picture. But, do you have the weights mixed up? You don't weight MORE after surgery, do you?

I can already see a difference in your face! I think it takes longer to go down sizes in the bigger ones. At least that is what I experienced last time I lost a bunch of weight. It took longer in the sizes beginning with a 2 but went faster once below that. I can't wait to say good-bye once and for all to the sizes that begin with a 2!

You can completely see a difference in your face. Also, never grow your hair out again. Your haircut is so flattering!

Thanks everyone.

There was a typo in the before weight which I noted when I edited the post. I was 363 the day before surgery.

I can definitely see a difference in your neck and face. You look beautiful. Keep on doing what you are doing and I'm sure the weight will continue to drop off. I love the hair cut.

Oh you can see a Huge difference. You are doing great. You look beautiful in your after pic.

I see a difference but I know what you mean about the pant sizes. I guess because most of my pants have a stretch waist and since our tummies are somewhat moldable into pants, I wasn't really noticing a difference for a bit. It just seemed like, yeah, I'm still wearing the same ones, I have finally gotten to where I am wearing a few I wasn't able to wear. I think when you carry a lot of upper body weight, it just seems to be slower. You are doing great!! ;)

Congrats!!!!!!!

Yeah I agree with everyone. You definitely see it in your face/chin/neck. Congrats :)
