Not 1 person has told me it looks like I've lost weight! I'm sad :(

The funniest remark (49 lbs. down) for me has been...what have you done to your face? I think she thought I had a facelift!! Said my face looked so sexy!! Hahahahaha!

I think it depends on where you lose the weight - Iost weight off my face and neck early on and people notice that. Your bottom half is something you probably notice more than other people do - really, how often do you stare at another woman's butt? Only if it's remarkable, I imagine - fantastic or has got a loooot bigger of late.

The other thing is that the first time you lost weight - particularly if it was after holding weight for a long time or even gaining steadily over the years - is something distinctive about you. I think. It's not so much the amount but a change in your usual "trend".

It also depends on what you are wearing.

People used to say how much they loved my hair, lol, for the first 40 pounds.I think people knew something was different and couldn't out their finger on it. I also think some knew but didn't know if they should say anything. (I didn't tell anyone I had surgery). After about 60 pounds someone said something every day. I recently went to a new job, and no one there knows I was ever so heavy, so I don't have to tell anyone the "secret to success" anymore, which I love! Honestly, the compliments are nice but it's nice not to have to discuss my weight on a daily basis with my co-workers.

I didn't hear anything from co-workers until I'd lost about 40 pounds and that was from just a few. It wasn't until I'd lost around 70 that I REALLY heard comments. :) I don't hear it as much now, which is okay too.

Because you started smaller going smaller the weight loss probably doesn't appear as drastic or as fast as the first time around. Obviously you have lost weight and are a size six! You'll probably be a zero by the end :D I had some comments around 3 months and then 4 months is when they really started noticing. I'm down 70 and can probably fit into a 16W but I haven't gone shopping LOL

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
