Thoughts?

Anyone feeling like they don't look any better after surgery? I'm not sure if its the loose skin screwing with my head or what... I'm over a year out and I've been stuck at 183ish for four months now... I will eventually need plastics for sure.. I guess in my head when I got the surgery I just thought I'd look great, but I just dont feel it now that I'm here. Oh well. Anyone else in that boat with me?

I look better in clothes but naked- it's a bit of a mess.

I have been feeling like this a lot! I'm almost 7 months out, and down 73lbs. My starting weight was 231 and today I am 158. I still feel gross and fat, it's frustrating.

I'm only 8lbs from my goal but haven't lost anything in a month...I'd like to push my goal to 130 but it seems so unreachable.

I haven't had the sleeve yet, going to in July, and I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that I will have to have some lifts, nips, & tucks to feel good about my shape after I reach my goal weight. :-( but I look forward to feeling healthier in the meantime!!

[is it just me 80]

I agree... I'm 5 months out down 83lbs everyone says how good I look but I don't see it..... I went from a size 28 to size 14...... I hate that I don't.................

Also I was told when u get close to ur goal weight but u just can't reach it...... Well u probably are at goal already and don't know cause of the skin....... My doctor thinks I'm holding at least 20lbs of extra skin.....

Yes unfortunately. And I have gone for a plastics quote. It would be done in 2 parts. First ($14k) would be the Tummy Tuck and breast augmentation with mastopexy (implants and lift). The second surgery (also $14k) would by my arm and thigh lift.

I look great in clothes. In fact I've been told on several occasions by various men and women (some friends or acquaintances but more by complete strangers) that I am smoking hot. Does wonders for the ego but deep down I think: Yeah ok. You haven't seen my flying squirrel impression. Lol.

It is what it is. I will take the skin over the obesity any day. Don't worry though. To the right person it's not going to matter. They will see the effort behind your actions. Not the skin. *HUGS*
