I was 246 pre-op and after two week liquid diet was down to 233. I am 11 days out and am about 215. But it doesn't show - my patents doesn't see it and think I may have wrong numbers. How long did it take for you all to show?

It didn't really start to show for me until I lost 30 pounds.

Starting weight 235

Im 5 weeks since surgery and down 37 pounds and even though no one tells me they notice it or not. I notice it! I am wearing clothes that I couldnt fit before. I believe it takes shorter people longer to notice the weight lost opposed to taller people. regardless keep doing what you are doing and eventually they will see it.

I was sleeved on May 3rd 2013 and on this week I am beginning to see the weight loss. I went to the Doc for my follow up on today. I have lost 24 lbs in 2 weeks. My pants are very loose. My highest weight was 350. I was 310 at my pre op. I am so so happy. But I really think it depends on the person, because you can lose inches and not lbs. So in time, you will see a difference.

It took me a long time to see my own loss. I didn't even wear difference size pants until after 40 pounds.

People didn't start noticing until around 40 lbs, and that was only a few people, more people are really noticing now and I'm at -68. I don't necessarily "see" it myself, but I have gone from a size 20 to 14. Don't get discouraged, it definitely takes a while for people to notice, but that doesn't mean you aren't doing great!

H: 5'4"

S/W: 264.7

C/W: 196.4

I was 247 before liquid diet. 237 on the day of surgery (5//6) and now I'm 225. I'm becoming obsessed with the scale! I'm thinking of asking my husband to hide it for a while. Good luck on your continued success, you're doing great!

I have lost 33 lbs and i notice it and So are others. People started commenting that they noticed when i was around 25 lbs down.

I hope you stay motivated whether people say anything or not, because you will see/feel the diff maybe even before others do but also, I know like my husband will never say anything to other people when they've lost weight. He doesn't want them to know that he noticed they were "fat" prior to losing weight. He may just say "you look good" or "you look great" but he would never say "wow! Looks like you have lost weight!" To him, it feels like he's insulting people. He doesn't get it that WOMEN want to hear that all the time! LOL! But he notices EVERYTHING! He just feels its insulting people to tell them, so they may notice but just don't say anything. Keep up the good work!
