I've actually been disappointed that people haven't noticed yet. My mother-in-law always says something, but she knows and I think she's just trying to make me feel better. I've lost almost fifty pounds and all my clothes are too big. I've recently made new friends, and none of them know how big I was.

Like I said, it's just disappointing. I was hoping for more positive feedback.

Congrats! I am looking forward to that. My surgery is June 15th.

I think Baggy clothes end up hiding the loss, I had lost 40 pounds in 2010 and once I bought some clothes that actually fit - people started noticing.

I am glad I found this thread...my friends who know have been telling me they see a difference...but yesterday I saw my family who doesn't know and they did not say a word! I was a bit distressed.

I immediately told my friends to stop blowing smoke up my @$$!! They just laughed.

This is exactly what I am going through! ,y husband tells me all the time how I look like I am changing and slimming down, but not one single person who doesnt know about the surgery has said anything! So frustrating.

I have run across in the past when I have lost weight, some people are afraid to say anything because they don't want to offend. So maybe they are noticing and just afraid to comment.

I love that feeling most of my family and friends recognized it before me. I could only tell by the scale but just yesterday I finally realized when I compared two pics so I'm feeling a bit more motivated

Ohhhhhhh, it only gets better !!! Its not egotistical or vain to want people to notice your weight loss. Not only do you look better, but you're feeling better too and you've put alot of hard work into yourself . Way to go !

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
