That's so true!!! I think ppl judge those of us who have had wls as if all of our success was just as simple as going under the knife. And i just want to shake them and say "NO!! We still have to bust our humps!! The sleeve is just a tool to help us with our success, it does NOT ensure success!!!" I think Harlequin has the best advice yet: tell them the truth that WLS doesn't work without exercise. At least then your honesty is addressing misconceptions and expectations. Very good advice to consider, I think..

I know plenty of people that had WLS and didn't get anywhere close to their goal. In all successes with WLS, it's exercise that works. The fact that you're doing it, you should be sooooo proud of yourself.
If it was me, I'd tell them the truth (that WLS doesn't work without exercise). What success you've had is due to what you've done with your trainer and at the gym. If they have an issue, they just don't understand.
In any case, you are doing awesome and congrats! Best wishes...
