Blown away! 20 wks post op progress/comparison pics
Hello all! I'm actually closer to 21 weeks post op, but I am just now getting around to taking my monthly pictures. I put some pictures of myself that were taken today next to pics of me from before surgery but 15lbs lighter than my highest weight. It's still really difficult for me to see myself differently when I look in the mirror, so even though I know I'm shrinking b/c I fit into smaller clothes, I still struggle to see any difference in the mirror. So these comparison pictures help A LOT because I CAN see it in pictures.
As of today, I weigh 263 pounds, which is 122 lbs down from my highest weight and 78 pounds lost since my 10/18/11 surgery date. I also had an NSV today: I fit into and purchased my first pair of 18 pants! This feels so indescribably good to me - the same person, who, 10 short months ago, had to FIGHT to squeeze into a size 28 and felt most comfortable in a size 32! Anyway, here are my comparison pics. The pictures of the heavier me are at 370 lbs and the others are from today at 263 lbs.
