I had my surgery on march 1st so I'm almost 2 weeks post up. I have lost 15 lbs since surgery and 50 since I started on my weight loss journey in Jan 2011. When I went back to class from spring break someone said to me "Wow ur face is really slimming up" and I've also been getting so many compliments from ppl I haven't seen. I can slowly see the change in my face and body and I'm just super excited.

Those little things, like comments from ppl or a glance in the mirror as you pass by feel soo good!

Throughout the day I genuinely feel just more happy overall. I'm so glad I took this journey and even though it's just the start it feels so good.

Just wanted to share. You guys are so inspirational and uplifting for me

If anyone else has any "little things" please share. I would love to hear about those moments.

That's awesome! Congrats on the incredible weight loss!! It must feel great for people to notice after all your hard work. I haven't had my surgery yet (2 more days!) but I can't wait to start seeing a difference. Keep us updated!

I understand about the little things...I'm 3 weeks post-op and I've lost 30 lbs. I'm 268 now, so the loss is only obvious to me & those closest to me. When I pass a mirror, I have to peek at me! I can see my "new" face emerging. I've lost some puffiness in my face and I love it! Also, the fat roll in my neck is gone bye-bye!!!! Yay!!!

I have been looking in the mirror more now. I love my body size.

Those little things are actually big things! Congrats! One of my students, 7 yrs old, said, "Ms. ------, it looks like you've been losin' pounds!" I gave him the biggest hug because I know his comment was heart felt and honest. It just made me smile for days .

So CUTE!! You've been losin pounds! I Love it!

My little things have been things like...crossing my legs, buckling my shoes and still being able to breathe! having wiggle room in stadium seating,removing a link off of my watch, wearing heels again!! For you newly post-ops, the best is yet to come! It is soooo amazing to see and feel these changes happening right before your eyes. Almost too fast, my head still hasn't caught up to it yet. i'm going broke because I keep dropping sizes!

I'm down 20lbs. and today, for the first time, had 3 people comment that I look like I've been losing weight! Yeah!!!

Even at a year out, the "little thing" of being able to sit with my legs tightly crossed makes my day!

It is the little comments that keep you going.

I have now lost 100 pounds, and people can really see the difference now. I went to see my surgeon today for a follow up and he did not recognise me this morning. It is a weird feeling eh.

I love to see all these posts. just made my morning so much better.

SO HAPPY FOR YOU! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!
