You hit the nail right on the head.  I have felt so down since surgery.  I thought my life was all of a sudden going to be wonderful. And its the same that it always has been.  I don't see a difference in the mirror of any weight that I lost.  I know that I am smaller b/c i have had to replace my closet twice already.  I get aggravated sometimes, because I think to myself, I did this for me, why cant i see a difference.  I havent figured out any answers on this yet.

I haven't had the depression hit me yet. However, I totally relate to the fat person in the mirror. What finally turned that around for me was the new driver's license picture of all things. When I laid the new one beside the old one, my head finally caught up 9 month slater.

I guess I"m weird (we all knew that already right?), but I didn't have separation anxiety from the clothes. To me, it's freedom to get rid of them. I don't ever want to be the person who fit into those totally cute clothes worth lots of $$$ ever again. Donating them garbage bag fulls at a time is one way that I measure progress. I'm in the midst of tossing more shirts into the latest overstuffed bag. I don't know....It's just really fun knowing I'm saying goodbye to those sizes forever.

Every time a pound comes off, I'm over the moon. We're all going to react differently and none of us knows how we'll feel until we get there.

((Hugs) to you. You look fantastic.

WOW!  WHAT A GREAT POST AND WHAT GREAT RESPONSES!  I love the fun and humor on here but when someone opens up and spills their guts out and everyone ralleys around them with kind words of encouragement I know that it is helpful not only to that person but to everyone.  I am sure there are many people who were helped by this thread who didn't even post a response.  That is why I can't tear myself away from the board even when I might be soooo busy...or unable to sit!  lol 

John, thanks for sharing.  I have gone through a lot of the same feelings and from these responses so have most of us.  I heard in support group early on that this could happen.  Everyone has really said all there is to say...I just wanted to say thanks for your openness and honesty, it has helped us all!  We are all going to get there!!  I love it that we don't have to get there alone...we can lock arms together and face it together just by sharing on this board.

You are in my thoughts and prayers!  Good luck to you and God bless!!

Many, many thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts and wonderful responses.  It helps a lot to realize that I truly am not the only one who has these thoughts.

I spent some time working through my closet again this evening, weeding out some more things that don't fit and finding new (old) ones that do.  It was a good exercise for me right now.  There were several things that I tried on - thinking they could be new goal clothes - that actually fit! 

I'm trying to avoid another novel, so that's it for tonight.  Everyone enjoy your weekend, and thanks again for taking the time to read and respond!

John
