3 Weeks Out, Will My Mind Ever Catch Up?

[caiti_marie00 17]

Alright, so its three weeks post op and im feeling amazing. I definatly still feel a bit of discomfort if I move a certain way, but i was off of pain medication by 2 weeks post op. I feel blessed to say I havent really had any complications with surgery and last week i had already lost..... drum roll please.... 26lbs!! im sure now im atleast 30 down. in two weeks?! my mind cant comprehend it yet. and since last year in march i am down 103lbs!!!!! Im constantly taking pictures trying to see the difference because everyone is telling me how different I look, but i still cant wrap my head around it!

I am fitting into clothes that I havent worn in years! my mom bought pants that were WAY to small a month ago... I tried them on last week and they couldnt close to button yet but i could tell they fit better. I tried those same pants on this morning and they closed!! and they would be comfortable if the waist of them wasnt right on one of my inscision lines. But its so crazy that in that littlle time my body is changing so much so fast. Is my mind ever going to catch up? I feel great, pretty even, but i still was afraid to try on a size 28 with my friend at Lane Bryant yesterday because i didnt want to feel that disappointment of my clothes not fitting... but this morning i made myself try on a size 26 and they fit! its like... i dont know if my mind is ever going to be able to comprehend the changes because they are happening so fast! can anyone offer any advice on getting through this part of this journey? I would appreciate anything!

Other than that I feel amazing! my blood pressure has been almost perfect since surgery, without medications!! Before i was on two medications and i still couldnt control it. its like a miracle.. I am so happy that i made this decision. I cant wait to see what the future holds for me!

AWESOME!!! Congrats I'm glad to hear that you are doing so well!

And I think I could ask "6 months out, will my mind ever catch up" for sure!! I am now down 100 lbs and I recently dropped inches like crazy (which means I am currently in a stall... I think I am starting to notice a pattern with my body) and I actually fit into a size 8... i'm like "nahh, it was sized wrong", then my mom made me try on a pair of size 6 jeans at old navy... and they fit. NO FREAKIN WAY is what I kept thinking. I've worn those jeans almost every day since (honestly, I only own 2 pairs of pants and 1 pair of sweat pants lol) and I still look in the mirror and see myself how I was. Maybe it is because of the skin and my stomach isn't "flat" .

Or maybe the change just takes time to get used to. Maybe it takes a long time before I will start to recognize myself again
