Hey troops...

I was just curious when did you physically start to notice your weight dropping?

I am a week out and I can tell a little here and there (hands and feet). However I was just wondering if at a month, two, did it hit you like a ton of bricks that you are losing?

Just curious....

When I started taking pictures and comparing before shots is when I noticed. Then I did a fashion show with old clothes that could no longer fit. And finally I went to the grocery store and my student didn't recognize me and that was at 2.5 weeks post-op!

2months is when i really started to notice, my pants were falling off, shirts where huge. I am 4 months now and last night in the shower I almost lost my wedding ring which used to squeeze my finger it was so tight.

When my clothes were way too big for me. I am obsessed with taking pictures of my self, that seems to be a good reality check.

I hit 62lbs lost post-op this week...and coworkers are FINALLY noticing.

"Hey, you look like you've lost weight...are you dieting?" *eyeroll*

Sucks for us bigger folks that it takes a long while for people to notice.

For me...still feels surreal. May change eventually.

I think depends on how much you have to lose, I'm down 31 pounds in 7 weeks ...people are commenting on how good my hair looks , my skin, everything but the weight! Lol they know something's different, but the havent put a finger on it! I see it a little in my clothes and face , I feel like once I hit 40 pounds that's when I'll really see it! I have about 75 more to lose!

ya... ard 2 mths ....

Everyone had been commenting on my weight loss 52# another 30 or 40 not sure where i want to end up.

Mine has depended on vie people I meet up with. My co-workers noticed at about 50 pounds down. But people I haven't seen in a while noticed at like 30. From my highest I'm almost 100 down.

I agree around the second month is when I really started to notice mostly what I started to notice was loose skin and the feel of my body noticing bones and how small my tighs started to feel in the shower. It took longer for my eyes to catch up.

Agreed... I still see myself as the same as what I started. The only way I notice is going down in pant size. But I compare myself to people who are obviously bigger than me.

2 Weeks after surgery I couldn't fit in anything lol it couldn't see the difference but others could.

For me, I felt so much better as I was able to get more physical (and actually enjoy working out!). When I hit 50 lost I felt like I could see.feel a meaningful difference. However...and I don't know if this is because it doesn't show or because people feel weird about saying anything...no one really comment that I looked like I was loosing weight until about 80 lost. I actually really like it when people comment! Now, nearing 100 pounds lost, I feel like a new person. Still a ways to go, but on the right road.

I'm 8 days post-op, down 13 lbs since I came home from the hospital 6 days ago. Don't expect to notice it in my body, but can definitely tell in my face!
