Not happy with this before and after pic

I'm upset in comparing these before and after pics. The left one is day before surgery and the right is today. My husband made me feel bad. He said he didn't see much of a difference. I haven't been on the scale since 1 week post op. My surgery date was 2-19-2013. At that time I had lost 19 lbs. Do you see a loss or change?????

I can see the difference!I do think seeing you everyday does make it not as noticeable. My husband can tell I have lost a lot of weight recently but it took a while before he started noticing...To be fair my husband has lost 18 lbs and I cannot tell at all he is 6'2 and he went from 230 to 212 and it is not noticeable to me except that his pants are looser.I however am smart enough to tell him that I can tell ;)

Men suck! :D LOL just kidding. I see your loss everywhere even in your arms. Keep up the good effort you are doing absolutely amazing and its noticeable :)

You talking to me sweetie. Lol yes indeed the funny thing is I just started working out in feb of this year. I manipulated my food intake to find out what reacts with what on my diet particular for my body. Its a science. I sit at 180lbs but atleast 10-15lbs is of extra skin. I still feel fat though. Its cool cause it only makes me work harder when I workout. Thanks alot

But I have seen alot of sexy women on here pre and post op. if they put in the effort anythings possible. The main thing is to rid themselves of negative influences.

You look great!! And sometimes husbands are a little slow on the uptake... But you gotta love em!

:P

Really? Us? Nah... :rolleyes:

There is absolutely a difference between the two pictures, keep up the good work!

Such amazing progress!

Btw, I showed it to my hubby and daughter and they both noticed.

I definitely see a difference in your stomach and your neck!! Keep up the good work!

I see the difference in your shoulder/upper arm, there is a substantial difference in your abdomen, and in your-um butt.

I noticed that it looked like your weight loss was 20 pounds? If that's so, most people couldn't tell when I had lost 20, but now that its almost 40, people notice all the time :)

I see a difference- give it time

My ultimate goal is to get my mother in law to notice my weight loss. She doesn't know about the surgery but complains because I don't eat or drink like I did. I have lost 55 pounds and she hasn't said anything about it. I am half way to goal and not one word.

That is unbelievable!!! Congrats on ur weight loss and your mother in law should be ashamed!

YES. I CAN see a difference. On our way 2 a slimmer you

You definitely can tell!!!! There is proof in your jawline, arm, abdomen,hips, butt. You are doing awesome!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!! ;)

Everyone has said it well, be it your husband sees you every day or he's blind cuz you can tell a difference! Keep up the good work :-)

first of all, you seem to be losing weight from the largest part of your body first which is your stomach so the weight loss may not be AS OBVIOUS as a person who had big old flaping arms and then suddenly a few weeks later has thin little chicken wings but there is a very obvious loss. I'm not one to ever really offer false comfort but I really don't feel like you have anything to worry about. There is a difference, and there will continue to be a difference.

There is definitely a difference, keep up the good work!!
