Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I had a little eye-opening moment yesterday when my BF took a photo of me sitting outside with my cats.

I never thought I would think of myself as small, because I still have the 'fat girl mentality' going on. So I looked at the picture and was like, "OMG! I look so small!" - I just couldn't believe it.
I sit here stressing because I haven't lost much weight over the past couple of months, but the point is I'm STILL LOSING!! I should be happy with that, because I am loving the results!
AND, I got 2 $10 gift cards for Old Navy today from my Chase card rewards, so GUESS WHO'S GOING SHOPPING, BABY!! I love Old Navy, their clearance rack is the BEST! And everything on it is usually marked down another 50%.
::singing:: I get to buy new clothes, I get to buy new clothes! ::happy dance::

I just began so I am looking forward to the shopping. I think I understand how you feel though... I cannot picture my self thin. I have been over weight since I can remember, way back to first grade.
Your weight loss may have slowed down just remember you weigh less so your body burns less. check out this site... it will tell you how many calories your body burns for just sitting there.. http://health.discovery.com/centers/heart/basal/basal.html you may already know but it takes 3500 calories to make a pound.
good luck
