How many of you get asked if your sick with the dramatic weight loss? How do you feel about it? I'm a little worried about that. :/

That is why I have always been honest about my surgery. I never wanted people to question why I am looking thinner.

Ya, but I have a friend that got the surgery done and everyone knows it. She never kept it a secret and people still tell her she looks sick. One person recently told me she didn't like the way the weight loss made my friend look.. That it was a sick look rather then a healthy look.

Now, in my opinion I think my friend looks great. I'm just affraid too many people telling me I look sick.

i think its normal at the beginning, that after a few month we still look weired because the weight lose is not proportional and the face looks pale. but it all will go away. you have to be proud that you got this opportunity to do the surgery. you have to understand as well that when people know you as a big person and all of a sudden your face look thin as a fish, it looks weired to them. everyone will allways compliment you,.

Everybody has told me I look good so far

My sister had RNY 18 months ago, she went way too far with the weight loss and looks sick. She is 50+ and her skin is hanging which makes her even look worse. I told her she would looke better with about 15-20 lbs back on. I don't want to look lilke a skeleton... I want to look healthy and what feels good and looks good on me.

I agree doodle, that was one reason I went back and forth on if I wanted the surgery cause I didn't want to lose to much weight. I've seen so many people who have had it and think they went a lil to far but also have seen so that look great. After I have surgery I still want to have curves cause that's sexy where I'm from but also healthy.

I think everyone has their own idea of what looks good. To some people looking really skinny is their ideal look. For me if I weighed what my height says I would fall over. I would be skin bones and boobs. Once you start getting to your ideal look you can ease up a little on the restrictions.
