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.

Yesterday he told me he thought maybe he was cheating on his wife with me. I asked him if that was weird and he replied "it's really awesome". By husband is THE BEST!

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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
