  1. Thanks for all the responses...just had another coworker comment on my weight just now. I have been at work for less than an hour and I have had three people say something. It really is starting to wear down on me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  2. Hi all, I'm new to this community so I am not sure if this has been posted before or if I'm posting in the right section. I had my gastric sleeve in July 2016. 28F. Height 5ft 0in SW 168 CW 124 GW 104 I receive constant comments at work, such as "you're wasting away!" "You're SO thin," "You've lost too much weight!" And so on and so forth. Every day at work, someone makes a comment about my weight and it makes me extremely uncomfortable. I even walked up to a desk one time and heard people talking about me. I get asked how I lost the weight and I meekly respond with "calorie counting and exercise." I have kept my WLS private and I intend to keep it as such. Any one have any advice in how to respond to such comments? Also in regards to privacy, I do not know what to say to my friends and family when they see I have only eaten a bite or two...I am very worried how to approach Holiday meals and explain to family why I am eating so little. I don't want people to think I have an eating disorder...thoughts, suggestions? I am at a complete loss! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
