Thanks for your reply! I think it's definitely something I should keep in mind. The last time I lost a bunch of weight a friend made a comment to my mom that she didn't think I knew when to stop, and looking back, I can see how it affected me subconsciously. Of course I gained it all back, plus some.
Still wanting to hear your experience, when you get a chance, as I'm in a similar position with lower BMI and not planning to tell anyone but immediate family. My sleeve is scheduled for May 4.
