...getting compliments on my hair, lol. It always seems to be when I haven't fixed it either. I think it's misdirected. I think people notice that I look a little different, can't put their finger on why and assume it my hair. Just thought I'd share...kinda funny. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

I have experienced that in the beginning, but I do feel a difference in my hair almost like the texture is a bit different. I have also experienced Hair loss, which i read up that thats normal the first year. So maybe the thinning is making my hair better? LOL who knew :)

I had a Chinese woman who kept asking me if I had cut my hair. Took her 6 months to decide I had lost weight! LOL I think she was afraid to offend me!

I think people don't want to come of rude by asking if a person has lost weight so they acknowledge the change with a different complement , just my thought on it :)

Agree! No one said a word to me until I had lost 50lbs. I figure they didn't comment when I gained the weight, so I shouldn't expect them to comment when I was losing. Lol

People can't figure out weight loss cause they are used to seeing you at the old weight. They have asked me did i change mu hair, makeup or glasses!!

I find the opposite. People flat out comment about my weight loss. I am not offended because I don't think they mean any harm.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
