Happy Surgiversary DivaMichelle. That is awesome you have managed to keep your weight off so well and for 8 years that really is great.
Happy 8 years, continued success!
I went through that faze, a while back!! It's called the E.T. faze/look!!Happy about the wt. loss, but hate the way you look. My hair thinned out, and my eyes appeared to be bugged out even more than ever. It was a real awkward moment/faze it shall pass. It's when you look in the mirror, you do not regonize yourself right?? Who is this? is it me?? I look so different??? do I like this look?? in the beginning, NO!!
It will go away.
It's part of the new adjustment, you look in the mirror and say, is that me?? Depending on how heavy you were b4 surgery. Seeing it, is so soreal in different ways. Best of luck as you continue through the journey!! In other words all normal post -op feelings and issues.
Peace jbug

Okay, I have made peace with the fact that my nappy hair of death is now only half as strong.
I even have stopped crying every time I look at the surgery scarring.
But where did my T and A disappear to?!
My once stereotypical black ass is more than half gone and sliding into size 10 jeans.
The thick breasts that were stopping traffic by the age of 11 and had men crave chocolate milk are actually becoming manageable and not bouncing out of every bra I own.
The thick lips that some people endure injections to emmulate are turning into a pout.
I am thrilled that the weight seems to be coming off evenly don't get me wrong but sometimes I have to do a mirror double take to believe what I am seeing.
Is anyone else seeing a good chunk of themselves disappearing in the mirror?
Tell us all the secrets?? what are you doing to maintain?? I have been off track for too long, and in the middle I had a baby too! He's 3 now, so that tells you how long it's been. I did incorperate my protein back in for sure!
I am at 6 yrs. next month and trying to loose before the day. All together I want to lose, 60lbs. Never made it before to orginals, set by me & doctor, so this is a second chance to get there, and aim to stay.
I was wearing a 32, and 3-4XL. Got down to like a 14, but I would even love to see 16, at this point. I know I will never be a stick, but I do want to be more comfortable than I am now! a regain of 25lb. has not helped the situation. Wishing you, a lifetime of continued success, as we all bear down the battles of the buldge!
Peace

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to test it out. My curves are coming back. Will I ever be 36-27-38 again? Time will tell. My waistline and hips are shaping up, but my butt is doing something that I've never experienced!!! I have an eliptical machine. Maybe if I put in the time and actually use the thing, I can firm things up!!! 
Best wishes to you on losing those last 60 lbs. I have another 45-50 lbs. to go...
Hello Everyone 8 years ago my life was changed for the better through RNY WLS I am so blessed regarding my success and love the friendships made through BAF. I continue to do Protein first and float between a size 6 and 10 depending on how serious I get. That's a long way from size 24 and 26 on a 5 foot frame. Continued blessings to you all!
Try some Butt-lifts. Whereas you get down on all fours, and you kick each leg back, and then pull it in to your chest? As many as you can handle?
Google it! Best wishes to ya, I need to do some my self. lol.
As my wt. came off in the past, I developed a new curvey butt, and hips too, right now I need a little work, but trying to loose last 60lbs. So let's see how that goes. Will I regain a nicer figure again? well let's hope so!!
Peace-ladybugj
