You know, I hate the fact that my gut reaction is "Oh, how much prettier you look with the weight gone." so I decided to really take a look at that feeling, that reaction.

It's wrong, first of all, you were just as "pretty" whatever that means before. What I guess I really want to convey is, you look happier. You look like you want to be seen more, you look extroverted as opposed to introverted. I get that just from your pictures. I don't know you. Also I am probably projecting some of my own feelings onto your pics.

All that aside, if you are happy, that's great. Your eyes shine like diamonds.

Just a little over 3 months post op - 41 lbs down. -progress pic -- face has slimmed down - no neck rolls or double chin lol kind of embarrassed but ya...lol

Gotta say I'm jealous @JerseyJules. You don't seem to have any of the excess skin that plagues many of us.

I do a little, mostly right around my naval. and higher up on my stomach area, but not as extreme as I have seen some. I think perhaps Im still young enough where it will tone up a bit. Right now it just looks like a woman who just had a child and deflated around the belly, but I never had any stretch marks to start.
