It's hard for me to see any difference in myself as well. I compare pics and they all look the same to me. I can see the difference in your pics for sure. Your face and chin are more defined and your neck as well. Great job on your loss, keep up the great work.


I think we all get some form of body dysmorphia along the way. We can’t see what everyone else sees and maybe it because we are our own worst critics. You probably look very different and don’t even know it! Thank you! And I’m still fighting the good healthy fight, lol

@ALFxRNY Your jawline is definitely more defined as well as your temple area. (I notice that area because I was so happy when my glasses no longer left dents down the side of my face! :))


lol! I don’t even see a difference in the temples but my sunglasses did start falling off of my face! It’s odd seeing the definition coming in!

I didn't see the change in my face for the longest time. Then, one day I just looked dramatically different. I remember I was in a restaurant restroom washing my hands, I looked up and for a second I didn't recognize it was me in the mirror.

My face was the absolute first place I noticed. When I glanced in a mirror, I saw my mother!

Your mama probably was a pretty lady. I look like an ugly relative I would just as leave forget. The Old saying was : Beauty,is skin deep, Ugly,goes through to the bone. Well some bones are starting to,peek through. Don't,like,my color, not jaundiced but,not,healthy either. I LOOK SICK! It's now Sunday and I have been👅 puking off-and- on for a day-and- half now. Like Judy Benjamin in Private Benjamin " This is NOT the ARMY I joined!"
HELP!😧🌊😧💦

I’m only 11 weeks post op now. I still don’t see too much of a difference but I’m down 57 lbs (32 since surgery). The left pic is the day of surgery, the right was yesterday (before putting on my makeup). I guess I have a neck and more defined cheekbones now, lol. You all look awesome

Its been awhile since I played basketball so I have been practicing lol but I would never had even volunteered to do this 70lbs ago! 
      This surgery has changed my life for the better!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
