I had an odd experience this week. I was in a restaurant restroom, more dressed up and more effort was put into my hair and make up than usual, I looked in the mirror, and literally didn't recognize myself. My face looks so different!

I feel like my body has changed gradually, slowly, proportionately, shrinking. But my face changed overnight it feels like.

Saw several colleagues this week. Last time I saw them was 2.5 month post op, and I am now 5.5 month post op. I received so many compliments. Everyone ws blown away by my transformation.

I'm grateful for the reassurance. I feel like I look fantastic, and it's good to think I'm not being delusional. :blush:

I can't get over how little heat affects me now. I'd heard a lot about "I'm always cold post-surgery!" and that hasn't really happened, but I have certainly noticed that I am WAY more comfortable in heat than I ever was before. Around 65 degrees used to be my sweet spot, and above 75 filled me with dread. I'd be two steps out of the office door and sweat would start soaking my scalp, no exertion needed.

But now? Now I can leave the client site still wearing a fleece and not bother unzipping it until I'm in the car. The car itself has been baking in the sun all day and is likely over 100 degrees inside, and I don't have to leave it to air out, I can just start driving. I'm bone-dry the whole time and can shrug off the heat no problem.

I still don't LIKE heat, but it was actually making my life significantly more horrible pre-surgery. The fact that it's a nonissue now is crazy to me. This is how other people lived this whole time!?

I had a first date tonight, and didn't spend the whole evening with the voice in the back of my head saying ... "You're too fat for him, he's not going to like you because you're fat"

That probably made it easier to have a good time! What a wonderful thing to get out of your head!

I went on vacation and had a wonderful time. Wore a swimsuit without clutching my coverup around my butt/thighs. Went PARASAILING!!!! Went snorkeling. Walked up and down the stairs all week on the cruise ship instead of taking the lift.

So. Happy.

I was shopping yesterday, looking in the clearance section for clothing, and a saleswoman stopped me and said, “Are you shopping for yourself? Because if so, those clothes won’t fit you. You need to shop over on that side of the store,” and she pointed me away from plus sizes to regular and petite sizes. She was right. I’m a size 10-12 now, but I keep forgetting! 😊

      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...

      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
