The first thing is don't eat to much it will get stuck in the esophagus ( puke that baby out ) hurts like the devil

Skin is very itchy, it does go away but I still have flare ups

food gets annoyingly gross after eating it for a few days

Weight gets stuck on a number more then you like it to be

After going months without a period you lose enough weight it comes back full throttle

The body part you want to get smaller doesn't, it's always the awkward places first ( I'm a potato with toothpick legs )

Clothes you use to wear can start to fit but there is always a bulge of fat there so guess you will try another day

You can see between the steering wheel and your belly

So many changes its nothing bad, ok maybe the monthly visitors, I could have gone my life without them back but least I know at the end of the day my choice of choosing bypass was the best thing I have done for myself :)

Your outside appearance changes a lot faster than your internal view of yourself, especially if you've been fat your entire life. It can take a long time to mesh the new thinner person in the mirror with the old fat person in your head.

I'm still having problems coping with this issue.

You know how the cliche goes about knowing something like the back of your hand? I wish I had taken photos of my hands and feet because I think they look very different, but because I have no photos, I can't prove it to myself! I do know that the dimples on my knuckles are gone, and my hands don't look like my hands! (I have gone down 3 ring sizes since November!)
