You're doing wonderful! I know from experience that sometimes we still see ourself as big and don't see the loss that others see, we don't see the transformation that others see. If you have a before picture maybe try looking at it and taking a current one to compare. I was the same way! My before and after pictures have helped me a lot. For months I would automatically go to the Plus size clothing because that is what I was used too. I looked in the mirror and still seen myself as big. You are doing amazing it looks like. Be very proud!

Been 1.5 years since surgery and I still don't think that I'm going to fit in clothes. I hold up a pair of mens 34 pants and say there is no way I'll ever fit in those, but yet I do. I still head to the big and tall sections sometimes then realize that I don't need to be there. When walking around, I still give myself extra room to get by people or objects.

THIS TOPIC GETS A GOLD SEAL FOR BEING SIMPLY AWESOME!!!


KEEP THEM COMING! THEY ARE SO VERY MOTIVATING FOR PRE-OP AND POST-OP MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU LOSERS!!!:flowerforyou:

I had RNY in January 2001 at age 23.

Before surgery: 336
Shirt size: 2-3XL
Pant Size: 36W

Today: 190
Shirt Size: L-XL (had breast augmentation in 2008 so that's affecting my shirt sizes more than weight.)
Pant Size: 12-14

I've been through just about everything. Had incisional hernia repair (since I had open RNY procedure) in 2002. Tummy tuck 2003 (lost 6lbs skin). Thigh tuck 2003 (lost 2lbs skin). Brachioplasty 2008 (under arm tuck - lost 1lb skin). Breast augmentation 2008 (to full those empty boobs after all that weight loss)

Only complaint that I have is that b/c of falling back into bad habits, my stomach and digestive track is very messed up. I pretty much have IBS or Collitis and it's making my life a bit of a living hell. I'm hoping that by getting back on track with MyFitnessPal, my stomach will stop hating me so much.

Other than that, it was the best thing that I ever did for myself. I've gotten back into riding horses which is something I never would have imagined when I was 300+.

Great topic. Thanks for allowing all of the opportunity to share.
