Default one month out...

On Monday it will be one month since my surgery, so I don't know if I would be feeling as dramatically different as many of the other posters.

Finally the scale needle is going down instead of up, so I look forward to getting on every day. I've lost 32 pounds so far.

I wore an outfit yesterday that I have never been able to wear. Still had the tags on it from last August and I was using it as a motivator to lose weight. It was actually loose on me, and I got a lot of compliments at work.

I wonder if the change in a WLS patient has more to do with other people's reactions than it does internal feelings. Kind of like the theory that when you hear someone likes you - you automatically like them.

So I wonder if the compliments, attention, and acceptance WLS patients receive after losing weight is the most significant catalyst for the feelings of strength and worthiness....

Thoughts?
