I haven't told anyone and I will respond that I am on a medicalt supervised program (which is true) and working out (also true).. I'm a band to sleeve converter And I don't wanna hear the negative comments from people that don't know the struggle.

If you want to tell them go ahead, if not tell them you are eating right and exercising or tell them it is none of their business. Your choice.

I tell people that I practice Portion Control and through exercise. It is a personal choice on whether or not to tell people about your surgery. For me not everyone needs to know every aspect of my personal life, and I don't expect anyone to tell me everything personal about them.

Still pre-op but I've given this lots of thought. I'm going to say ... I eat like a bird and run like a deer.

I tell people that are more just aquaintances that I'm just been making changes for a healthier life. Those much closer to me know the truth. I dis start losi.g weight around Sept of last year,and then had surgery in Jan. so I was already down in weight by the time my surgery date came along. So being down almost 80# feels more since last Sept. people think ita been over a course of a year. I haven't had not one bad feedback from anyone thank god! Same as someone else just said, people are asking me for advice, and that is so flattering:)

I'm thinking when people ask me what I'm doing to lose weight, my line will be, "The opposite of everything I did to get fat!" and if anyone who knows about my surgery dares corner me with, "You took the easy way out," my response shall be, "Yep, just like my mom did with her cancer by choosing two years of chemo and radiation. She could have just gone vegan and smoked pot."

      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! 😞
