Windows and mirrors



Recommended Posts

That moment when you catch your reflection in a window or mirror and notice "holy crap I am shrinking". It happened to me a few times in the last week. Love it!

Nope.

I see 'em and think....."Still look like Sasquatch". :P

I'll come, though. All in due time.

I went through a period where I literally didn't recognize my reflection when I would catch it out of the corner of my eye.

I actually scared myself a few times, seeing my reflection and thinking "who the fuck is sneaking up on me?" Before I realized it was me. Lol

I was surprised to see my shadow. Just makes you laugh at the changes rapid weight loss can bring into your life.

That's one of the great joys at being witness to our own transformation.

Congratulations. :)

I can't even count how many times I caught sight of myself in a store window or mirror and thought to myself -- "Hey! That chick is wearing MY outfit. I wish I was her size.", only to realize I **WAS** that chick.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
