I'm 5 months post op and 78 lbs down. I have 13 lbs to goal. It probably sounds stupid but I'm having the worst time mentally seeing I have lost weight. When I see myself in the mirror I don't see any change. When I go shopping I'm always still looking in the Xl department. I've been taking pictures every week to try to help it sink in but doesnt seem to help. Any suggestions?

Hey Pat, UK, It wud be good as they've said to speak to a therapist about it bc it is a real issue w obese people after wls. It's like an anorexic who sees themselves as being obese when its soooo obvious to everyone else that they are usually just skin nd bones. They too have to seek out therapy bc it is a mind thing majority of the time. It cant hurt to chat w som1. I'm presleeve so, guess I'll c what happens soon enuff. Actually, I c myself as disgustingly fat now, but when I have told people of my weight, they say, "no way u weigh that much, you carry it well!", I'm 5'3 nd 235, how can that be carried well:/ newhoo, gla, us:))
