How Much Did You Lose Before People Noticed?



Recommended Posts

I'm still pre-op but I've lost about 24 lbs since I started my job at the end of July. My HR/accounting person noticed the second I dropped 20lbs and said I was looking good. My dad for some reason is the only one who was ever fully observatory about my weight changes. He keeps telling me I'm doing great and to keep going, you can tell. The differences I have noticed aren't really the weight change or even how I look physically, but I have that my clothes are starting to get looser. The new slacks I bought for work are now massive on me, my jeans don't need to be put on with me lying on the bed shimmying up the zipper, and this black dress I wore to the funeral the other day didn't show all the rolls it used to. And this is all pre-op! Can't wait for surgery!!!!

I'm down 47 pounds and I think maybe 2 people have noticed. (230-180 pounds. My 18 year old son didn't notice. I had to ask him - and he was embarassed to admit he hadn't noticed. (Yes. He lives with me.:-))

      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! 😞
