Yup.....I get that a lot too. It doesn't bother me. I get more annoyed when people ask me how much I've lost. That's such a personal thing to reveal, I don't have a problem posting it here but I do feel awkward giving my weight loss numbers to some skinny person who prob doesn't relate at all to my struggles.

The other day while at Lowe's, I was told that I don't look old enough to have a teenager. (I do, I am, I dont't; he won't be 13 nil December. LOL!). It felt good to hear, so I graciously accepted the compliment.

I hope I look younger. I've been told recently I have a baby face, but I always felt my weight aged me. It was awesome when I was a teen- people always thought I was at least 20, I would get away with being able to drink when i was underage (I know, I know...BAD me!) but now that I'm approaching my mid 20's (scary thought!) I feel like it's not such a good thing and may be making me look older then I am which isn't something I want anymore lol. So I'll happily take people carding me for PG movies some day!

Right now I'm often told I don't look my age (48). I'm afraid that once

I'm sleeved and start losing weight, my face and neck will un- plump and I'll look so much older that my age!

I hope I get that comment!

Last year at my birthday an acquaintance asked me how old I was and another one said "Ooooh I wasn't sure if I should ask or not cause I wasn't sure how old you are..."

I WAS TURNING 24! I was like "Noooooooooooooooo - I look old enough to care?!" We all had a good laugh about it, but I was kind of sad that I looked old enough to be concerned =p

I started getting told that I look younger almost immediately. I've only lost 30 pounds so far and the more I lose, the more I hear it.

Yes- just last week a guy came up to talk to my hubby and I in the park- he mentioned how nice it was for me to be there walking with my DAD! Lmao! To his defense I dont wear my wedding ring right now because it's a size 9.5 and now I wear a size 6.5- but still!

It was so funny :)

      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! 😞
