Noticing self more?



Recommended Posts

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.

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!!

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!

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!

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!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
