Just take pictures because it appears that our minds don't catch up with our bodies until somewhere down the line. U do look good and I'm not going to take back the skinny comment because it's true☺️!

I appreciate it :-) yes I take pics along with my mom& big take pics of me and sometimes I'm shocked to see them. Also went to the club on Friday and got a pic take with my bfs gorgeous daughter :-) I felt great and looked great lol can't wait for them to post them already so I can see it lol but yeah my mind sometimes sees smaller and other times I see the over 300lbs girl in the mirror and idk it's crazy...

I feel as you do . In clothes I feel like I look good sometimes I feel pretty sexy in clothes... Then when the clothes come off .... EWWWW. I always tell my bf that it's false advertisement... He is so compassionate. He tell me im beautiful and that it's not false advertisement because he loves me. But I just feel so disgusting when my clothes come off :-( I should see a therapist but my dr said that it's just best to get on pills... Which I'm like nah that's not what I want. It's just my mind. You'll get there tho in ONEDERLAND . It took me FOREVER to get below 200. Like was a 4 wk stall then boom in the 190s. I'm at 193 today so I'm only 23 lbs from my goal for my 1yr surgiversary but hopefully by 18mon post op I'll be in the 140s to 150 max. Somedays I feel great about myself some days I don't. It's hard. You look AMAZING btw :-)

Wait your dr wants you to just jump to meds?

Depression meds?

That's a pretty huge step there, not sure if it's the hormones that he's focusing on or just the rate of people coming out of this surgery that he sees go that way. But that's a bit of a bold comment to make to someone.

Also I stepped on the scale today and I'm officially in onederland! 199.2! :D I'm 54lbs away from my personal goal of 145, and my dr wants me at 177 at my one year, so I'm not so far off. I have 4 months to lose 22lbs, and if I start working out it shouldn't be that hard :)

I really am with you on the false advertisement ordeal. I get into clothes and I'm like wow I love my curves and take my clothes off and I'm like no no no no that is not how a body is supposed to look. But I have to tell myself my body is doing hella good because I lost over a HUNDRED POUNDS and it's not a complete saggy mess, just not as toned as I'd like it. So I think we should be thankful that the weight is coming off and focus on toning and trying to get out lives and bodies back one day at a time. This process isn't perfect but we are lucky to have wonderful guys in our lives to make it so we feel beautiful even if we don't see it :)

Went to NYC for the first time ever over the weekend. It was so nice to be able to walk everywhere w/o sitting down every 15 min!! Best part of the trip, seeing Hedwig in Broadway and meeting Neil Patric Harris afterward:)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
