I wonder if anyone else who has also been through major physical changes can relate, but the mental adjustment to your new appearance is really intense. I'm very happy with my end results after 7 years of weight loss and all these procedures. I'm at a place where I once dreamt of, but it feels like a piece of me left with the obese me. I never hear anyone talk about identity crisis once they've lost a lot of weight, they just talk about how happy they are about that past being behind them. There's no part of me that wants to be overweight again, but maybe after enough time passes, this new me will be the default of my brain, and not the overweight version who was struggling to get healthier.
It's been quite a ride, but I am grateful for the journey.  
Best wishes, ladies.

Hi Sirena, I ate 1200-1400 calories max every day and walked 1 mile daily and the first 40 lbs dropped very fast. The remaining 40 lbs took me a long time after I hit my plateau, but a caloric deficit is the only thing that has worked for me. I've also been a vegetarian for the last 3 years and I believe that has helped me as well. Best wishes

You’re right, the crisis you’re talking about is something that we don’t hear often. I think it’s because it’s taboo. On few body transformation tv shows, I heard some candidates talking about that. You’re not alone in that situation. Since it’s a great physical change it’s normal that the mental needs to adapt and to quit some bad patterns of thought

Thanks for such an amazing documentation of your journey! I'm a huge wimp when it comes to pain so I feel you in that. But it sounds like it's absolutely worth it!

Yeah, it's amazing how mental it is. I got surgery a while back and I still thought I was fat. It's crazy.

Exactly! And the people around you think you're being dramatic, but it takes you a while to mentally catch up to the new person in the mirror.

I don’t think a day goes by where I’m not grateful for this procedure. The confidence I have wearing figuring hugging clothes is absolutely priceless.

I've been healing really nicely. I've only recently started working out, focusing on weights and lifting more than cardio. I want to really shape my body and look lean and strong. Take this as a before picture! I'll be posting more updates soon!
