X-Post One Month Pics

I took my one month pics tonight. Please feel free to check them out.  I cannot really see a change from the pre op to post op pics.  I was hoping to see a little.  My face does look smaller but everything else I know will take time.  Again, please feel free to check them out...

You are doing great!  I can really tell in your face, but also in your arms! Big difference!  Hang in there!

Thank you Mommy2c. Rahsheeda

Rahsheeda,

I know it's hard to see it in ourselves sometimes, but it's diffinitely there. I am so proud of you for taking the front, back and profile shots! As you continue your journey be sure to do this once a month as you look back on these photos with some perspective, you will really see the difference that we see. Not only is your face slimmer, but so are your arms and your upper back. Keep up the good work and continue to take the photos and the measurements.

P.S. You are going to need to get some new clothes soon ... The ones you are wearing in the photo are too big! :0

Thank you Barb, I needed to hear that.  It amazes me that people can see just what I cannot see, but Im sure with time that will change.I will be using some new clothes for the photo next month.  Now I cannot wait until next months pics.. YAY!!! Rahsheeda

Rasheeda: I felt the same way as you when I was one month out. I could hardly see a difference but I am sure it was there as well. You can look at my pics. I even wore the same outfit. Even if you can't see, other people can tell! I can see it in the pics. You will really see a bigger difference next month for sure. There are big things in store for you. Just wait and see! Lisa

Lisa, thank you for the words of encouragement and congrats with your weight loss, you look great. Rahsheeda

Hey Rahsheeda: I see a big difference in your face and side profile pics.   I am 3 months out and down 63lbs and while my clothes are smaller, when i look in the mirror, I really don't see much of the difference.   Think it takes time for our brains to catch up with our bodies! Take care and keep up the good work! Pam

Thank you Pam, I will keep that in mind as far as it takes time for our brains to catch up with the weight loss... Way to go and Congrats so far on your weight loss. Rahsheeda

Rahsheeda, I can definitely tell a difference!!  You are looking great!!!  I am 10 months and 9 days out and some days I still have trouble seeing myself 125 lbs lighter!!  Too bad the surgeons couldn't fix our brains to keep up with the changes everyone else sees!  You are doing fantastic and like everyone else says, keep taking those pics ~ you will be amazed when you look back at them in the months to come!  Congratulations on your success so far!!! Hugs, Donna P.S.  I lived in the Thomasville/High Point area when I was in NC and I so miss the shopping and dining the Greensboro area has to offer!!!  I still get back down there from time to time ~ we will have to make plans to meet one day!
