Has someone commented on your weight loss?



Recommended Posts

I haven't been given any nicknames, just lots of "you look great!" type of comments. I kind of don't like it when people comment on my weightloss, actually. It makes me wonder what they thought of me 70 lbs ago. I went to a salon a week ago and the esthetician commented on how I look like "a woman who obviously takes care of her health." NO ONE would ever say that to me back in the fat days, but really, my lifestyle's not that different.

@Coops and Chilo - I hear ya, it takes time for our brains to catch up with how we really look. I just wanted to tell you both that you have come a long way and I view you both as slender ladies. :)

@Lily - They will come, believe me!!!

A student calls me skinny mini (but she used to call me that before I ever lost the weight!tongue.gif) I do get "your melting before my eyes" and "WOW! you look fantastic...." An old friend I ran into a couple of days ago noticed I have lost weight and said I look really "healthy" I'm meeting with her to discuss WLS this weekend, she is in for getting it for herself already!

My landlord asked hubby if I am going to be a model... teeth_smile.gif (he is kind of a typical cerimonious middle-aged Italian, but still!)

As I wrote on my status, my friend told me that the amount of weight I lost is the same amount an English female bulldog weighs as an adult... I love this one, I know it might not really sound as a compliment, but it made my day. At least now I can figure how much I lost!

Oh, and then there are people who keep telling me i should stop, because losing so much weight isn't healthy whatchutalkingabout_smile.gif... Yeah, whatever. I answer that I just need to lose another couple of kilos...

All the comments I have gotten have been really polite, and I appreciate it. I don't like people who create nicknames for me, etc. It kind of makes me uncomfortable. But, I like it when someone politely asks if I've lost weight, and then tells me I am looking healthy. I guess I am just sensitive about my weight, regardless of whether it's up or down the scale :-))

I get called skinny a lot. I get a lot of attention from people who have seen me walking every day and have seen the 70 lbs loss over the last nine months.

omg yesterday was my first "outing" since the sleeve...a baby shower in the day and a party at night.....i got a lot of comments...it was overwhelming

I have had a lot of positive comments...i think my insecurity about keeping my surgery a secret from most, has me wondering if ppl are speculating.

One of my male friends asked me "Sam, when was the last time I saw you" to which i replied two months ago laugh.gif

at the party a girl i knew came up to me and said "Hey skinny" which is hilarious cuz i am 280 lbs smh

this guy I know told me I am losing too much weight now dry.gif

My FB is flooded with comments from ppl telling me i look great,

this is just the beginning and so far I LOVE ITbiggrin.gif

Recently I have been hearing, "Girl if you get any smaller the wind is going to blow you away." I just laugh because the funny thing is when I go outside and a strong wind blows, in my mind i feel like I dont have to brace myself for this because im not skinny. In reality I do get jared by the wind. My husband has actually had to reach out to steady me. LOL I think it is great.

One of my co-workers told me "Hey I'm telling you now that I don't want to see skinny jeans at work" and my neighbor (female) said that as I walked into her court yard she can see i'm losing weight because she can see my boobs first and not my belly. Odd but OK, I'll take it. LOL

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
