Too funny. I have had the same thing lately.(I have lost 110lbs) One of my gf who had not seen me in over a year thought I was a total stranger. My MOM walked past me in a bathroom as I washed my hands. Lol.

You look fabulous. Keep up the great job!

I love this thread! Just the other day at work I was mistaken for someone that is very little (short and thin) . That made my whole day!

For the last few weeks, my husband has sat in the car and looked right at me waiting for him to drive up and pick me up. I wave, and he startles a little. He just doesn't see me. He calls me "Slimbo" now, which I think is sweet ( and much nicer than "bimbo"). Hahaha. I'm down 51!

Omg the same thing happens to me. My work best friend walked past me three times. I had to tap her on the shoulder and poke her. It takes a while for folks to catch up with the new you especially when you loose over 100 lbs. I feel the same but you really are a new person.

Thank you!! I feel AMAZING!! I sure wish I would have done this for myself years and years ago. We all deserve to look in the mirror and be happy with what we see. There's nothing like it. :)

Nice. My husband always knows the right thing to say, too. :) I'm pre-op still, but I know when he says he's really excited for me, he really means he's excited for himself. He's a sweet fella

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
