Before and after pics. 19+ weeks pot op.

Feeling fantastic!!! Just found this pic from last summer when I was 204lbs. This makes me realize how far I have come. My surgery was 10/1/2014. I am so close to goal it's an amazing feeling not to worry about what I am eating or what I am going to wear. I am no longer embarrassed to go out in public. I am enjoying life and feeling good...

I am trying to decide if I need to keep losing or if it time to go into maintenance. I need advice so I am including a before and after undie pic also. Be kind!!! I am at 138. My doc originally set a goal of 130-140. I had planned 120-130. But I am thinking maybe I don't need to go any father. Jut looking for some friendly support and advice. Thanks in advance.

Is your surgery date correct? I think you look good and should stay where you are but how do you feel about yourself?

I feel good where I am but I have never had the appropriate self body image. I ne'er see what is truly in the mirror. Which sounds crazy I know. Lol. I feel so much better and I know I wear a smaller size but I still have a hard time truly seeing me.

You have come so far and your body is beautiful!! You have to do what feels right for you!

Ok.....I'll try to answer this delicately and respectfully from a guy's view:)

I think you are very balanced and natural looking at your current weight. Perfect!
