Hellooo everyone! Woww its been YEARSSS since I've posted on here...! I cant beleive im 5yrs POST OP, and down 140lbs! Its been a VERY slow journey, but well worth it! Now please don;t get me wrong the lapband is the best decision i've ever made in my life, AND NEVER HAD ONE REGET TO THIS DAY! Anyways you guys... I don't recognize myself! Has anyone else felt like this, or going through this??!! I was sooo confident at 315lbs, wore stilettos had the highest self esteem, yet now, 140lbs lighter, I just feel like I don't know how I truely look...I havent posted a facebook or Instgram pics online in like almost a year... Everyone is like you look great why don't you take any pictures? I just feel like I don't look the pictures!! Sometimes I cry because when I see myself in a picture, even a mirror I'm like who is that? I feel like i've completed changed... even my skin has gotten lighter from the weightloss... So not only am I different size, I'm a different color! I assumed that since my weight loss was so slow, when I got closer to my goal weight it wouldn't be this shocking but it is! I know that the doctors warned me this before the surgery (this is one of the side effects) but I know I cant be the only out there that's close to their goal weight feeling this way... anyone else out there or with any advice? thanks!

wooww you look amazing!!!

thank you all soooo much!! soo supportive!! I made an appointment with a therapist... i'll keep you guys posted thanks again!!

OMG IM IN THE SAME SITUATION!!! im a year and a half out, almost 2yrs and my restriction had gotten tight all of a sudden, like over night! ive lost 76lbs so far (i didnt have any restriction at all in the first 6months after my surgery) but a couple days later, im fine i feel i have PERFECT restriction, i think ive reached my sweet spot:thumbup: i have no clue why this happens though... a week ago i had made an apt to get tighten!! now i dont need it

lol, it's TOTALLY NOT WRONG!!! i'm going through a very similar situation... the more weight i loose, the more attention i get. i hate guys... especially shallow ones who now all of a sudden want to say hello since i've lost 50+lbs... DONT GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!!! and congrads on your weightloss!!!:smile:
