48 Pounds Lost And I Am The Only One Who Notices?



Recommended Posts

I feel ya! I was sleeved march 12, current weight 198, starting weight 281. Almost 100 lbs dropped. Only people to say anything about it? My husband and mother in law- the only 2 who know about me having this done. It's so frustrating, and messes with my mind. I feel like maybe I'm not looking as svelte as I think I do, but then I slide on my size 18's (down from a 24) and think- the difference is so amazing, how could anyone not notice?

It's so hard to not let people mess with your head, but that's just another way our addiction try's to trick us to stop doing what we're doing! Think of it this way, we want to look and more importantly, FEEL normal. "Normal" people don't go around complimenting one another on a regular basis; ie.; "Hey there! You look terrific! You haven't gained ir lost any weight! Good for you!" lol I thought about this and now I try to compliment people every day, "That color looks great on you!" Believe me, people in general are not used to, or get uncomfortable, when receiving a compliment. Now, I'm the giver so I don't worry about being the getter! 

      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! 😞
