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

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!

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!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
