@@Peekboo Do I think I look different? Not that much, but I look at myself multiple times a day. People I haven't seen since surgery said I look fantastic last week and one of my best friends says it's noticeable in my face. The hubs says he notices it a lot when he hugs me too so there must be a change that I'm not seeing.

I think you absolutely look different. Congrats. I had my sleeve on Oct. 8. First few weeks I had lost a decent amount but, like you, not everyone noticed. It started to bother me but I kinda just decided not to let it moving forward. Now I'm down just over 55 pounds as of this am (I weigh ONE time per week) Now, I get complimented constantly by friends and people in haven't seen for awhile. In fact yesterday I got stopped twice by friends I haven't seen since surgery while shopping Best Buy and by my neighbor when I got home. They all were incredibly nice and went on and on. People now notice and it's nice, it kinda reaffirms my choice a little bit. I'm telling you if you stay the course, follow your plan and get in some exercise you will hear the compliments...constantly. Another thing, I can tell you that I have noticed people that I'm sure have lost weight and haven't always said something. I think it's human nature a bit. Depending on your relationship with thembthey may think that saying something may be too personal, or intrusive. I know I've felt that way. So, know that you definitely look thinner, and probably alot more people have noticed your shrinking size than have led on. Merry Christmas.

I have lost 40 and not one has noticed or said anything at work. Maybe they just think it's a sensitive question. We have. Treadmill desk at work and I use this during my lunch time. I am not coordinated enough to walk and work on my computer at the same time lol. So people do see me work out

Kpar, I know its strange when noone comments but I wonder if its like when myo worker who is 125Lbs loses 5 pounds and I dont notice, lol. Im guessing when I have lost 50 is when everyone will think I lost 20lbs, go figure!

That is awesome!!!????

[SimplySue 131]

Kpar- I think seeing the weight loss is about percentages, but I would think by 40 lbs someone would've noticed! Are you wearing different or same clothes? For a while, people were telling me that they liked my hair (Not different)! So maybe folks see that something is different, but can't figure out what?
