I'm not having the best day today...... 
I stepped on the scale today, still residing at 236 still 42 lbs lost, so one would think I would be in an ok mood..... which I was until I decided to go clothes shopping as most of my stuff is getting too big. I went to the store and FOUND NOTHING THAT FIT!!!!  It was one size down from what I'm wearing now and it was too tight! So needless to say I'm in a miserable mood. I come home to my husband who can see that I'm upset and says..... "let's take your picture today"..... Yeah, just what I wanted a picture of me when I don't feel good about myself! But to avoid an arguement I said ok..... well, he took the picture and lo and behold I look at it and see NOTHING! I don't notice a difference from the day of my surgery. I decided to compare the 2 side by side...... I see a slight difference, but think that since I'm already in such a bad mood, I am being to harsh on myself. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day!  (day of surgery)  (4 weeks post op)

Oh girl I can tell a difference. Just give it a little time. Your body is still healing and adjusting to what has been done to it. It wont be long before you will be going through sizes so fast you cant keep up. Hang in there.

I too can see a difference, esp in your face and neck! a tip for photos like this: Take off the bulky top and wear more fitting clothes...THEN you will see a difference.
Even with the bulky jersey, you can tell that you look less....well...just less! (I dont want to say 'bloated' but that is close enough to what im thinking...does that make sense?) You are emerging hun, it will take a bit of time, but try the photo thing without the jersey, see what happens, however, as I said, face and neck have changed for sure!!
Keep up the great job you are doing  You are doing well  | |

I'm only a couple of weeks ahead of you and I was feeling pretty blah and wondering what I did, etc. I had not lost as much weight as you (still to this date), but see the scales moving and just in the past week having my clothes getting too large. Hang in there....

I can definitely see a difference!!!
Point to remember, you didn't get to your highest weight overnight, you won't lose it overnight. Your body's been through particular hell...to be blunt. Take some deep breaths, listen to everyone here who sees a difference, and take it easy on yourself, follow the rules and you'll get there.
Sorry for such a rough day...but you brought it to the right place...that's part of what we're here for!!
