I understand what you go thru completely. My sisters have always been competitive when it comes to looks and have always left me out because i am the fat one. Well thats going to change I've spent my life focused on academics and I'm ready to put that on the back burner for my health and a healthier me. I've always figured looks fade but my itelligence is what would set me apart. Now by no means would i call myself ugly, i believe everyone is attractive in their own way. But now with hard work and dedication my outside will match my inside!Good luck on your journey.
I love when my daughter tells me mom you look pretty, it makes you feel great and I'm glad your son does that for you too.

Thank you, it's been a journey Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Other than my hubby, no one knows I've had the surgery. I'm almost 6 weeks out and down about 40 lbs. I've been in stall for almost 3 weeks actually so most of that weight was early on.
Anyway, I've had the opposite reaction. No one (friend or family) has said anything! No one! I'm thinking, 'Is it possible to lose 40 lbs and it not be noticeable?!' Lol I think I'll hug the first person who says, 'Hey,have you lost weight?'

For the most part I've only had negativity from one sister. Not many people know about my sleeve. She knows and can be insensitive to people's feelings but unfortunately that's her personality. I don't really see my weight loss. My husband has noticed and says he can tell when he hugs me. I don't even know what to expect if I lose 100-150 pounds lol.Maybe you're wife will say you've disappeared when you lose that 100-150lbs lol.

I think when it comes to my sister i just have to remember she is just programmed that way. I've lost 76lbs but I don't see the difference. The proof is is my clothing I'm down 3 pant sizes. I imagine some jealousy will come out when we lose that much weight. We will look very different. I've always been overweight and the only one out of all my sisters as long as I have 1 that supports me I'm fine and can get thru any negativity from the other 4. I agree completely with the doctor having the say in our weight. I can't wait to lose that 100-150 pounds and be healtier.

Has anyone had a negative reaction from their weight loss with a family member?

So I weigh in once a week and today was my first weigh in that I didn't lose anything. I didnt gain either so I'm happy. I stayed the same exact weight to the ounce. Maybe this is my first stall and I'm 6 weeks post op, all I know is I'm not going to worry because the scale doesn't define my journey and the scale can't take away the fact that I'm down 3 pant sizes! I really hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday!

So I just wanted to share my NSV this week. I am a student and being 400lbs (highest weight) you don't fit in the desks. Wednesday night we had to move around and sit in groups, this worried me because I have special seating but for the first time I actually tried to sit in the desk and I fit. I was so happy and it felt really good because I don't see the weight loss but this was a confirmation that I'm doing something right.
I really hope everyone has had a wonderful week and will have an even better weekend!

I told my twin sister I was having surgery and her reply was "you can lose it without surgery" my comment to her was "if I could, I would have done it already." She has always been thinner than me and the one time I was thinner than her,she lost more weight,which she didn't have to lose. I'm 5 weeks post op and down 17. I want it to be more and I know it will happen in my own time. My 24 yr old son said to me the other day "looking good mom." That made my day. I still haven't eaten much in the last 2 days nor have I gotten in my Fluid or Protein. I can feel it in my middle to lower back. I will and need to have a Protein Shake tonight to help with protein. I went to Perkins for lunch and ordered a ham and cheese omelet with egg beaters and wheat toast. I took two bites of toast and about 5 bites of the omelet and I was done. I couldn't eat any more,as it hurt too much. I was even taking tiny bites and waiting between bites. I wait so long my food gets cold. Ok, now I'm rambling and I apologize for that.

@@s0rda I am sorry your sister is like that. It has got to be tough.
I don't know if I will be able to lose that much but I already expect people to say "Whoa you are losing too much." People are used to me being 403 lbs. Losing 100 lbs would make a huge difference in the way I look and the 90 lbs I have lost already has. If I were to lose the 250 lbs that would put me at 22% BMI but would be a MASSIVE change in my appearance. It would not surprise me if I lose 150 lbs for someone to start saying "You are losing too much, you look unhealthy." My reply would be I am letting my doctor decide when it is too much.
