Cheryl.. One you look great..but second, I had a similar experience. I still see my self at 310 lbs when I look in the mirror.. I am down 90ish lbs 50 preop and 40 post op, but It wasnt until last week when I did a side by side of my face, I really saw it. It is posted in my pictures if you want to peek... Sometimes the head takes alittle longer to catch up.. Keep up the good work.

You can definitely tell a difference. You can tell

Although I realize that 51 lbs. in 5 3/4 months is decent weight loss, and despite the fact that I feel thinner, I finally took a "during" photo -- and can now see why my weight loss isn't apparent to others...because it actually isn't all that apparent. Yes, the spare tire is reduced substantially, but the rest of me doesn't seem to have caught up! I've dropped three sizes, but I guess when you're still fat, you're still fat, lol.

I've never posted any photos of myself before, but here are my "before" and "during" photos.

Very disappointing.

Its obvious to me. We can never see it ourselves. Just go by your clothing @ first.

People didn't start to comment on my weight loss until I dropped under 190 pounds, down from 240. It was worth the weight- er, wait.

You look great! I can see the change! I am down 59lbs and what I realize is that I still shop like I'm fat! Ugh I was afraid of close fitting clothes. That's my fat girl in my head still talking to me. once I had clothes that accually fit I could tell the difference and you to should experience some more with your clothing choices!! YOU can see a difference you look GREAT!

I've lost 45 and have had only about 4 people say something and to come to think about it, they know I had the surgery. It's frustrating to think no one has noticed.....I can't wait for people to notice.
