Question:
When do you begin to see you?

Nancy,
I hope they do, I'm going threw the same thing I'm 10 months post op and
down about 127 pounds, Every now and then I'll look in the mirror and to be
honest hardly reconize the person staring back at me sometimes, or I'll go
window shopping and see my reflection. It's so weird. When I'm alone I'll
look at my body in the mirror and feel disgusted with it, (Loose fat around
the tummy section) allong with excess skin..... Ok and I no buns !, I just
see so much more that I must work on... It makes me want to cry. I know I'm
much healthier then I've ever been and that is a blessing but our minds are
our own worst enemy. Rather then complenting ourselves I'm rather harsh on
myself.. Making myself push harder, then ever before. Avoiding any
temptation. (I'm hoping one day our minds catch up with our bodies, or meet
somewhere in between, Hope it does best of luck, I'm right there with you.
Hugs !
Post op 10 months down 127 pounds (A another plateau from hell)

This is a common thing among wls patients. Yesterday my surgeon told me
that it take about two years for your brain to catch up with your body.

I feel the same way. I don't see it in the mirror and when I look at
pictures it looks like a stranger. My boobs were the last to go. Then I
went from a DD to a B or C. Luckily they are still where they are supposed
to be. :)

Wow! Not sure what your question is, but all I can say is you look
fabulous - like a true bombshell! (Like Anna Nicole Smith would look if
she could get a grip on her weight - and that's not a bad thing.) Good
luck : )

Nancy, all I can say is WOW!! You look incredible!! I do know what you mean
about not seeing what other people see. I go for my plastic surgery in 13
days. I'm hoping I will finally think I'm thin after that. I can wear and
8-10 now and I still think I look fat. Its the extra skin and I know this.
Just keep looking at your pictures. Youll see it eventually. Congrats on
your success!!
