You Look Different

Two weeks post-op and returned to work yesterday. Since I started my pre-op diet, I am down 2 pants sizes which has me very excited. Had to go to the skinny side of my closet for a top. And my shoes are too big - how crazy is that.
The funniest NSV came when I was meeting with a man in my office this morning. He knew that I was having the surgery but had no idea what changes it would cause. He was so polite as he said, "You look different. I mean you really look different. Your face is different." I laughed and shared my weight loss amount with him. And then he cautiously (you know you have to be careful these days) pointed out how good I look. I told him that he hasn't seen anything yet. By the time I get to my goal, no one will recognize me. We had a good laugh and again he said, "I can't get over how different you look." Funny thing is that I look the same to me.
Still on liquids but I'm embracing every step of the journey. According to most of the posts, I'm expecting the 3 week stall. We'll see because as pointed out many times - we are all different and lose weight in our own way.
Best of Luck to All Who Take this Journey - Bonnie
