What do you see in the mirror after losing a substantial amount of weight?



Recommended Posts

I'm down to 170 from 250 and although I know I'm smaller, I still feel unsatisfied when I see my big saggy apron stomach. I'm also annoyed that despite all the weight loss, I still can't walk into any store & fit into anything. I'm STILL too curvy for that lol

I'm closing in on 100 lbs lost and I still see me at 325 lbs...I'm actually 230 lbs at the moment....That's a lot of weight lost but when I look in the mirror I just don't see it! ????

I didn't see my weight loss until I turned in the mirror. Most of the weight I'm carrying and WAS carrying- was on my back! But if you compare photos of before your surgery and now- you will see the progression! Sometimes that's what it takes. Don't get discouraged!

Like others have said - it's the photos that blow me away. I love the Timehop app, although there are mostly only face selfies with my kid from years past.

I'm still in process but about 100 pounds down. I just purged my closet of everything pre-sleeve (except one token outfit for remembrance).

      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! 😞
