I been out of surgery now for 5 months....... This has been a crazy journey........ The day of surgery my weight was 310, today I'm 227, so yes I'm excited but I can't see the change in the mirror.......... The only way I can see a change is if I compare my before and after photos....... In the beginning of this process I told myself that I hasn't going to be of those people that always thinks their fat when their not but I think I'm turning into that person already......... I wondering if it's just me or others brain hasn't caught up to their body............... I had this surgery to relieve pain in my back and legs... I never cared that I was fat, but now it would be nice to see myself like others do.....

If I see a pic of myself it takes me off guard and surprises me. If I suddenly glance in the mirror or a window I think wow is that me? I look skinny! But if I stand in front of a mirror and look at myself I will still feel fat. I'm 10 months out, 120 pounds down and at my surgeons goal but still have the fat brain. Hopefully that'll change in time.

Damn 10 months out and still the fat brain............ Well congrats at the weight lose........... I just don't understand it......... I had to put on a pair of my old jeans just so my brain can see the difference.....
