When does your brain catch up.



Recommended Posts

I started in January with a HW 292. I wore a 24 some 26w. 22 was the smallest I owned still and been tucked away in my closet. SW 251 that was 3 weeks ago. Finally decided to go shopping today. Even those too small 24s I swore were cut too small that never fit were too loose. I'm in a 16 jeans and 14/16 top now....Are you kidding me. I haven't seen that since high school and I'm 38. They were a little snug but hey at this rate not for long. I'm so thrilled. Yet I don't see it when I look at me.

Tomorrow I try on my wedding dress. It is a 20 but small as wedding dresses are. Getting married in a couple months so I am hoping it's a little small. Sounds weird saying that.post-300851-14777027987612_thumb.jpg post-300851-1477702803804_thumb.jpg

I am also curious about when the brain catches up. I 14 months post op and down 132 lbs. I went from a HW of 277 to a current weight of 145. And from a size 24 to a 4. I still look in the mirror and do not believe I am a size 4.

You look great! And you will like lose several more sizes before your wedding.

I think it will be about an actual 12/14. It's an older style dress.

It was funny trying on clothes I got an 18 then was like hmm bet I can go down a size. They were snug but I figure that is the best way to but now because next week they should be perfect

The wedding dress goes on and zips. Still very tight but I am so happy. It will have to be taken in by my wedding day I am sure but so blessed and thankful. So much easier to take in.

When your brain sees your face it fills in the body that it associates with that face. To see what your body looks like you need to look at a picture that does not show your head from the neck up.

Interesting. I've lost 45 pounds and my brain won't process the change.

I have been wondering this too. I've lost 35 lbs in about a month but still can't fit into my pre-baby clothes (I've been wearing mostly maternity clothes since my daughter was born 11 months ago.)

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
