I was wondering if any of you are seeing yourself like you have not in a long time. I looked in my visor mirror in the car and was taken aback. I don't know if it is because my face in thinning now, but I could really see my features like I haven't in a long time. I think the chubbyness must really hide our features. I had almost forgot what I use to look like when thin. I am remembering as the pounds melt off.

Hi Carrot,

This is great news

I'm off tomorrow, and only lost 3kg so all I see is YUK and who are you??

Just keep looking in that mirror:whoo:

i hope to look at myself in the mirror more differently after my surgery!

OMG Carrot, check out your ticker! You're down 26 lbs already, I guess that post-op nausea really paid off, LOL! I too look in the mirror and already see a change in my face. I'm down a pants size already and it's only been under 2 weeks since banding for me. But my FACE is starting to look like me already! It's it a cool NSV (non scale victory?) POST your picture Carrot!!

Way to go on the 26lbs! HOLY COW!!!!

Just don't get scared when pointy things start sticking out of your checks....its ok they are just CHECKBONES!!!! I almost forgot what they were.

Im noticing the weight disappearing from my middle and face the fastest. Thelma and Louise are hanging in there!!!!

I really notice my face thinning. I think all the weight I have lost so far is all from my face. Nothing left to fill out my wrinkles and under my chin is getting wrinkly as well. I guess a face lift is in my future (and my arms and my legs and my stomach and my breasts.... all lifted as well)

Lizzee- LOL! You really made me laugh. I sure hope I start to see some pointy things like cheekbones instead of just my nose! Ha!

:wow2:

26 pounds! That is totally fab Carrot! No wonder why you are noticing things. I still look pregnant...but not as pregnant. I went from 9 months 2 weeks ago to about 2 months pregnant today.:preggers: Carrot you are my inspiration.:high5:

I can't say I've really noticed anything, but my uncle who lives with me says he sees it alot in my face. That made me feel good that he noticed. DH says he feels it more than sees it. When he hugs me he says it feels like less to squeeze (yeah)!

I haven't noticed anything yet. I still see my sister looking back at me when I look in the mirror. She's always been bigger than me but as I got bigger I started to look like her. I can't wait to see my face again. LOL

Well done carrot. Keep up the good work. You're inspiring!

Oh Lord, I want to do as GOOD as Carrot today!!!!!! Cause she ROCKS. So excited for us all!!! YEY....go all of us. Amen, amen

i have noticed it in my face too! my double chin is disappearing. i have to tuck my chin in to my chest to get the roll to show up nowadays! omg, its great!

on the down side, i swear my boobs are already shrinking! i knew they would, but come on girls, try and hang in there! just for a little while, momma needs ya!

my pants are seriously baggy too. i think i could fit into a smaller size...i have a few at home i think i will try tonight.

Hey Coo, are you from Scotland?? That looks like a Highland coo to me! I had the pleasure of discovering Scotland last October and fell in love with it!

Best wishes and cheers!!
