WOW, congrats on -75lbs ... you are right that is NO SMALL FEAT! So enjoy that those lbs are gone forever and keep working that sleeve!

As for the pictures, oh wow, you NEED to take some new pictures and just sit at the computer and do a side by side of the pre-surgery photos and the new ones...you will be amazed at what you see. Then come here and share with us so WE can all fawn over you and how much you have changed. Definitely a must do!

Disney Addict, Thank you for your post and CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is a lot of weight in the time since your surgery! I want to tell you, you crack me up! Some of your comparison's remind me so much of my husband! Too funny!

Talking about the weight loss and not being able to tell looking at yourself, I went shopping yesterday for a dress to wear to my son's rehearsal dinner on Friday and I came home so frustrated and feeling so fat! I told my husband, "I wonder how fat I really was before I lost this little bit of weight! I was stuffing myself into size 14 dresses and I wore 14's before the surgery!" I really thought I would be in a 12. I stopped weighing myself everyday because I found it too defeating and it put me in a bad mood, so now I only weigh on Mondays. Last Monday at 2 weeks post op I had lost 10.5 pounds, but I had lost about 10 pounds before the surgery from my highest point. I think I had really buried my head in the sand about how heavy I really was. I used to tell people that I was the polar opposite of anorexic's. They look in the mirror and see fat when there is nothing but bones. I would look in the mirror and see "fine" when there was nothing but fat and rolls! lol! Well ignorance was bliss, I guess! I know that we didn't put the weight on overnight, but it seemed like it because it was so much fun eating and doing it right? I told my husband yesterday that the results of this are going to be really nice, but the process was no fun at all!!

Keep the posts coming I love your sayings! Post some pictures so that we can all give you the affirmation that you need and that you are unable to give yourself at this point!
