I walk by mirrors and store windows and do a double take all the time. I look at recent pictures and am simply puzzled. Who is that girl? I see a petite blonde but in my mind I'm still that 250 lb Insecure girl. Anyone else having a hard time realizing their success? It's a crazy mind game.

Oh I can relate to this! I fear I have become terribly vain because I end up staring at my own reflection in unusual places!

And I say to this..."God bless you and congratulations because if ur staring at ur self in the mirror, ur happy with what you see". If you weren't happy, you would avoid those mirrors! Continued success you you!!

I have had that too previous. When I seen my toes for the first time looking down, that was the weirdest feeling ever.

      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?
