You are right. I am going through that too. You have cancer? Don't lose anymore weight. You OK?

I don't mind. It is better than being the way I was 9 months ago. Skinny is fun. Buying clothes at regular stores. Not pigging out but feeling pig out after I eat. Life is good to us. Thanks for the post!

I would find a response and stick to it. I find that works best for me in life. like a response of no I am in my healthy weight range and very happy with it, but thanks for your concern.

Yesturday I met with a friend and we had breakfast, and she said, OMG, you eat so little. My reply was, I don't need any more any ways. She told me that I need to stop losing weight, I'm too skinny, my scale is incorrect. I told her that I don't care about the scale, I care about inches. She just kept telling me how my scale was wrong! I'm like aren't you hearing me, I'm not going by the scale. Afterwards we went to the mall and did some shopping. SHe kept talking about her fatness. :( to hear her that way. Then when she was leaving her external voice (should have been internal) said, "I can't handle your skinniness." :rolleyes: I recognize that this is her issue and that I was patient by not reacting to her sh$$ and was just enjoying my time. It is quite amazing to watch her little dance and to know that that's her sh$$ and I don't need to buy into that stuff. I love being skinny, and no, I'm not too skinny either. I'm just about the right size (not weight)! And that's what matters to me. When you have friends or family that are struggling with your changes, step back, and watch their little dance they do! It is trully entertaining. :rolleyes:

I think they just love you and are concerned. It's not very often that someone actually loses all their weight. They will get used to the new you! Way to go!!

The last time I successfully lost weight was 7 years ago. I lost about 40 lbs, and was nowhere NEAR a healthy weight yet.... I was around 145 lbs with another 20 to lose, and I got the SAME comments then!!! Someone actually said to me that I must be sick and did I have cancer?? MY GOD! And I wasn't even at my goal!! So yes people will see you differently because they still expect you to be fat and sometimes their own self esteem rides a little bit on looking better than you!! No more!!!

Btw, I gained all 40 lbs back in a year. Sigh. Which is why I am having VSG! :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
