When does the mirror reflect a loss?!?



Recommended Posts

So, at what point do you look in the mirror and see the difference in your weightloss? I'm down 75 and still see the same figure. I see the difference in pictures but not the mirror.

Also, for those without hunger like myself, do you still say, "I'm hungry," without realizing it? Lol u do it frequently and my hubby keeps reminding me. :)

I swear, the more weight I lose, the fatter I feel. When I weighed 75 pounds more, I didn't pay attention to my weight and told myself not to care. Now I see every bulge, ripple, and dimple... Now though, I like going shopping more...

I think that looking in the mirror your mind plays tricks on you and makes you see what you fear others are seeing.

Yes I already see that happening. Right now I am comparing sizes. Like, for example, when I had my lap band...I've already lost the extra weight I gained after having it and 20 plus lbs, but I'm in the same size clothes which is disappointing. Also, I see people on here who have lost less than me and started at the same size as me, but are in a smaller size than me. Ehhh its so annoying. But, I am thrilled with my weightloss and wouldn't trade it!

      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.
