I went to the store last night and walking out I saw a reflection of a woman in the glass doors. She wasn't as large as me, quite a bit smaller, she looked pretty good. She was still very much overweight and needed to lose about 60 pounds but she looked good! I had to take a second look, it was me!! :w00t:Really, that smaller women in the reflection was me!! :tt1:I couldn't believe it! WOW! I really love my band, I am so glad I did this for myself!

I'm getting really excited just reading this! I'm so happy for you!

I'm having the surgery probably later this year. It's making me feel really good about it by reading stories like yours!

I had that exact same thing happen to me. Took me by surprise, but what a pleasant one!

Congrats on your weight loss and good luck to you Cindy, you'll be so glad you did it.

My brother is about to have it done too, I'm so excited for him.

Isn't it wonderful!!!! It took some getting used to for me, but I must admit that once I noticed how much my reflection has changed, I can't stop looking. Now I am always curious about reflections in windows, doors, mirrors, even shiny cars lol. Isn't it a little addicting???

My husband and I just got back from vacation. He took a lot of pictures of me. When we got them back, I was stunned. We actually had a few blown up and framed. I haven't allowed pictures of me on the walls or in an album in over 15 years!!! For once, I wasn't embarrassed....

Isn't that the best feeling ever?!

I went into a Macy's just recently with a friend and we went by the dresses and just picked up some and went to try them on - just for fun. Before the band, I never would have done this, much less walked out and let my friend see how the dress looked on me. This time, though, I did - and I looked awesome! :thumbdown:

I'm so happy for all of us! Yaaaaay!

      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.

      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!!
