Getting use to the idea

So I'm a month out tomorrow I've lost 34 pounds everyone is say how good I look and you've lost a lot of weight and there saying it like if there in shock and its like really cause I don't see it then they look at me like how can you not see it I don't kno .. The only way I see my weight loss if I have my son take a pic but looking in the mirror it's like I don't kno my clothes are to big I have to pair of pants I can fit now.. In total I've lost 42 I'm 5'8 so the more I lost I look smaller then what my actual weight is so I've been told before surgery .. I just wonder when did you guys feel like you really seen your weightloss ? Don't get me wrong I kno I've lost weight cause of the clothes and scale and I'm very great ful for what has been accomplished

Ebonise can you post before and after pics?

I put on a pair of pants today that I only wear once in a while. When my coworker told me that they looked really loose on me, that's when I went and looked in the mirror and saw just how loose they were. I like my jeans tight on my body and I felt like a hobo in these. They are a little looser (not much) on my thights, but are super loose on my lower leg and loose on my backside. I have been only able to see the weight loss in my face, until today. I'm down 37 pounds since starting my nutrition visits in June. I now hate how these jeans look on me (loved them before), so I will be putting them in the "no longer wearing" pile that I am now starting.

I am with you. I am a month post surgery. I lost 27 pounds. However, I do not see the lost. My husband say he can really see in my face. Thankful for the 27 pounds, but I want to look in the mirror and say "Dang". But I know it will come!

Thank you

You look great and you can definitely tell!!!! Big difference! I'm 4'11 and somehow I carry my weigh well. My fiancé had no clue I weighed as much as I did. In fact he was shocked when I told him my current weight and how many pounds I have lost. Keep rocking your sleeve!!
