Is there anyone who doesn't like their appearance post op?

I am 13 months post op and I am way below my goal weight. I started at 263. I THOUGHT that I had been staying around 123 for about 2 months (first thing in the morning, birthday suit). I went for my post op check last week and the scale said 123 ( middle of the day, with clothes on). It just so happened that the battery died in my wonderful digital scale and I replaced it the next day. When I went to weigh (again, first thing in the morning, naked as a jay bird), It said 119!!! It was balanced and is an incredibly dependable scale. I am getting way too skinny. I am not liking what I look like. (Those that are preop I apologize for complaining about something like this.) I feel like I look soooooo much older than I am. I am 37 and I look 47. I have trusted that I will "bounce-back" a little, but when does that happen? I realize the wonderful health benefits to being ideal weight, but really wondering if anyone feels like I do? I don't have a lot of loose neck skin, I just looked wrinkled and too skinny/boney! Any thoughts? Suggestions? How do I stop losing weight? (what a totally weird problem! Thanks everyone! Shelley
