Ok, now down 50 lbs but still feeling the same.

I am 2 1/2 months post op, and feeling great, but I still feel huge. I still have a long way to go, but at least the first 50 is gone. I thought by now I would start to feel like I lost alot, not that I am still huge and have a long way to go. Maybe it is just a mind thing. Everyone notices how much I have lost, but I can't seem to notice. I am thinking because it is lost all over, but the proportions are the same. My belly is still huge, and still sags, and even though I have lost alot of inches, it still looks the same to me. I read on here about people feeling great, and sexy, and flirty, and all that, but gees, I don't. Is that still to come? I still feel like I am waiting on my surgery to happen. Then I remember, Oh yeah, I already had it 2 1/2 months ago, and I have lost 50 lbs! LOL I know that you have to be feeling the same way! Right? Or at least have felt this way?

Hi Debra, You do look great, being a week behind you I know how you feel about the self visual, but it does seem the places you want to loose the most are the last to see results! I think sexy, flirty comes in the next 50. I have noticed more people do speak now, instead of ignoring me. I have been watching X-treme makeover on TV, and there was a couple last week who were made over after both loosing 100 lbs. 10 yrs. ago. And it was exciting to see the results afterwards. But the woman did have excess skin around her middle that hadn't been taken care of but at least it was just skin and then it was gone. I have seen the before and after pics of you and you are looking wonderful, so hang in there...The best is yet to come! And remember as well as Head Hunger there is still the issue of Head Image to deal with. So don't feel alone we are right here with you!

Hi Deborah, You sound like a wonderul person... I have not yet had a surgery, but would love to be of some support to you. Always remember the skinny person is within you. It will be well worth the wait. Just think of it this way..you are ahead of me (booo hooo)...lol!!! Best of luck to you sweetie, may GOD watch over you and keep you safe!!
