You can definitely see a difference, just remember our eyes and brain lose wieght a lot slower than our bodies, we are so used to seeing big, our perception is totally screwed till we have as long being smaller as we were big !

Yes I can see a big difference. You look a lot smaller. This is great, keep up the good work. I have lost 58 lbs and cant really see much difference either, but had to buy one size smaller clothes. Yay for us!!!!

Wow! Really? You can't see the difference? You look amazing! Keep up the good work. You can tell just in your smile and body language that there is something different, not to mention you're smaller. Way to go!

What you are describing with having difficulty with recognizing the difference between your before picture and current picture is not uncommon...it does take our mind some additional time to catch up with body to revise the body self image.

Another example that I can laugh at now was the automatic thoughts regarding my weight as I fell into "onederland"...for months after I got below 200 pounds, I would still automatically think of my weight beginning with a 2 instead of a one.

You will eventually have your mind and body in the same place...however you are still going through adjustments.

Congrats on your progress!

Boy what a difference! You look great. Your mind will catch up in time..... The biggest reinforcement for me isn't the scale, it's the clothing sizes. I started at 20W and now I a wearing 12's.This morning I realized that I wear the same size as my 13 year old daughter, boy is she going to be pissed when I tell her I can wear her clothes.....lol

Absolutely see a difference! You must FEEL lighter as well. I've lost 20 lbs and I don't really see a difference at all but I feel lighter and don't have this big stomach in the way anymore. Plus I have no more lower back pain when I walk!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
