Melting away- i think i am mental.

I have been looking at pictures of myself 6 months after surgery. I am just about 100 lbs down and when i see myself in pictures i am not recognizing myself. And not all of it is a good feeling. It just looks so weird to me... i am healthy enough but i am so used to seeing myself heavy it is just a HUUUGE mental swtich to see me looking thinner than i ever have been. All i can think of is that i look like i am wasting away and dying. I do not mean to make it sound like i am too thin. good heavens i am 248. I am far from it... I just wished it brought up better feelings when i saw pictures. When i see pictures of my face i love them... i am lovely and much thinner.. but when i see full lenght shots it just looks weird. My shoulders are gone my boobs are shrinking and my skin is so floppy. ANYWAY i know i want this... it is just weird the mentalness that goes with it sometimes. Does anyone enderstand or have similar thoughts? Don't get me wrong i am excited but it is still shocking to see me. My mind has not caught up to the new body yet i guess.

OK the above post is really from me. Paula... my husband just had lap band last week. Apprently he doesn't sign out from Obesity help so it put my post like it was from him. Sorry i didn't notice
