After losing 117 in all and in less than 10 months I guess I shouldn't be surprised when we people I've known a long time don't recognize me but I think I still look like me. I mean, the weight loss is pretty obvious but it's still me. I even looked at some face comparisons and I just don't get it. A family friend we've known for more than 14 years stuck his hand out to shake my hand as I was going in for a hug. After a very awkward pause and then my husband walking up behind me he realizes it was me. I'm still me.

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 have the same thing happening to me, it's so amazing that my pastor only recognized my face and made me stand up in church and told everyone how amazing I look. I felt so good.????

My co- workers only recognizes my voice.

I came from 215- 132 a 83 pound lost

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!

Slimbo! LOVE IT!! go us!!

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.

Slimbo! LOVE IT!! go us!!

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!

My husband said I've always looked like this to him. He has "shallow Hal syndrome" haha

Mommyof5- you look great !

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.

My husband said I've always looked like this to him. He has "shallow Hal syndrome" haha

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
