So lets do a face to face Friday! I also had some non-scale victories this week. My daughters teacher from the last 2 years did not recognize me! And my fitbit is on the last notch so I need to get a size small band now! Geez I really hate the older picture. I can finally stand to have my picture taken now though!

Someone at work told me they hardly recognized me today and I can see why! (Also- I promise to never go blonde again! ??)

Wow, huge difference! You've lost your double chin entirely! And your cheekbones are becoming more pronounced!

And I’m starting to have a neck again! ??

I know the feeling! Awesome, huh?

It is! It’s especially nice to compare right now, as I’ve been in a stall since week 3 (might be coming out of it just now...) so it’s nice to see that even if the scale isn’t moving, *something* is still happening to make a difference!

The right picture is December, 3 months before my surgery and the left picture is beginning of August, almost 5 months after my sleeve. Down 90+ lbs!

Wow, what a difference! Your face has really slimmed down!

You look great. Way to go!!!

Little guys eyes look extremely mischievous. Like he's about to get into some really fun trouble. Love it.

Amazing changes and so quick!

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

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.

@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! )

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
