The 'old you' could not have been that happy, or you wouldn't have had the surgery.

However, any radical change is a shock to the system, so I'm sending you a virtual hug. xx

I don't notice a difference when I look in the mirror but I do notice a difference when I look at photos week over week.

I still see the old me when I look in the mirror. It takes a photo to make me see the new me.

Wow you are going through the weightloss depression bad. I hope there is someone IRL you can talk to you. You are the same you with some minor adjustments. Have you been doing to group or anything. I am so sorry you're feeling this way.

I didn’t recognize myself in a photo at work. After asking myself “who the hell is that?”, it clicked. The mind definitely takes longer to catch up...

I myself see it, and the numbers prove it, but I don't seem to understand why other people don't see it, must be some kind of psychological tick. And humans are very jealous creatures lol.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
