Topic: RE: Do you still feel fat?
That is very normal. I remember when my coworker had lost so much weight after WLS and she told me she felt just as fat as she was before, and I'd say "you're crazy!"... well, there are days when I feel I haven't lost one pound... it's weird... but then I see pictures of me, and I'm like "WOW! I HAVE lost some serious weight!" 
On Friday, I saw two people who hadn't seen me for a long time. The looks on their faces were priceless... so, yes, some days I feel like I'm still 280 pounds... but I don't worry too much, 'cause I know it's all in my head, and part of the whole process, I reckon! ;)

Mary,
I still feel fat. Everyone says I look good but I don't feel that way. I am still in 18-20 pants and well I know its a lot different then 32 pants but its still on the big side in my opinion. I think alot of it comes from thinking I should be a twiggy at a size 4. I don't think my body is geared to it but just can't accept that I can't be that. Its weird huh. Maybe one day all this mental stuff will change for me. You are doing really well. Keep up the good work.

Topic: Do you still feel fat?
O.k. I know this is a funny question but, WHY do I still feel FAT??
I know I'm not anymore, but why do I still feel this way?
I work at a local college in a dorm and yesterday I was at a campus picnic and saw 2 students that I hadn't seen since last year. they walked by me like I was a stranger. 
when I said who I was they were taken aback and was like WHOA I didn't recognize you. I don't feel any different from my former fatty self.
I got a new license last week and the difference is so noticeable. but, in my head I see the same old person.
Does this happen to anyone else or am I just crazy. 
either way I still am glad I had this surgery. would do it again in a heartbeat!
Almost 11 months everyone. can you believe it

Hi Laura,
Hasn't it been a truly AMAZING 11 months! My surgery was a week before yours on June 14 and I'm down 140 pounds, from a size 24 to a size 4 pants and small tops. Like you my boobs deflated big time and I'm also wearing a size 36B bra now. But hey, look around the gym and see that all athletic women have small chests. And yes, we can refer to ourselves as "skinny athletic women" now. We are lean, mean fat burning machines and we love to exercise....hahahah....I'm actually passing on my mid-day work out today and going out to lunch. Sometimes it's fun to shock the body and not work out on schedule. I actually have lost more weight than I weigh now, which seems very strange. I've lost 140 pounds and I weigh 136. I'm also down to losing the last 5 or 6 pounds. Actually I wouldn't mind even going a few pounds below my goal of 130 pounds to allow for that bloating we all get sometimes.
Good luck with your training! You are an inspiration to all of us!

Hi Laura....Good for you!!!! I wish I had to nerve to do the same or even just a Good Run....My sister entered herself in a Run just about 11 months after her surgery...She may not have come in first, but at least she finished.... I was so proud of her... Keeo up the good work. I just know you will drop the last of the weight you want to in all good time..And don't worry about all those skinny women who have been running for years...We(the ones who have nothing to gain, but self worth) know just how important this is for you....Good Luck.
