7 months out doing great but...

i guess it's the same old story, i'm down 110 pounds now and feeling ******g fantastic yet once in a while i'll look down and think 'god im fat' lol. maybe it's because my formally spare tire, which is now a spare training wheel, is still there and hasn't totally dissipated, maybe its the hanging arm fat, or maybe its the inner thigh blub. still, i look and feel great so i guess its all in my mind? i heard this happens. i'm 210 now, i ahven't been 210 since i was 17, ill be 34 next month so i've effectively cut my age in half.
have you all had this problem in the middle of your losses? happy yet a little blah?

You've done great, and yeah, I think our emotions tend to go all over the place for a few years post-op. Almost as bad as those hungry days followed by I-can't-eat-more-than-a-couple-of-bites days. One day at a time. :)

sometimes i'll be hungry and once i smell food i can't eat lol. so odd thanks Gina you always make me feel better, nice to know i'm not theo nly one out there

Wow!! Great job!!!

thanks merry i hope you are doing well too

I think I'm doing well. I feel great but don't have a scale! lol. I'm trying to get all my stuff( water, vites, med, protein) in but as we all know, it ain't easy.

It's really hard for me to see any change in my body when I look in the mirror. I mean, obviously I have since I'm down several sizes since surgery and I know that intellectually, but it just doesn't compute.

Nope, you are not alone. I am almost 2 years out and I still sometimes can only see my body in parts. Usually, the heavier ones...lol. I have to remember that I am a WHOLE person and not just parts.

You're still in that "melted candle" stage.    I just yesterday saw a picture of myself taken when I was about seven months out, and was shocked at how saggy and floppy I looked, and I had less to lose than you.    Now, I think, especially since I'm 51,  I look pretty freakin' normal!   Your skin does catch up some, especially since you are younger.   Good job on the weight loss!

the worst is the loose skin on my formerly double d's lol, i mean im a d which is great but i can pinch the skin and pull it out lol. so your skin does slowly bounce back after a while? i want to try to get plastics eventually though.
thanks for the support ladies
