I hope you don't end up looking gaunt...

Well, for the record, I don't look gaunt.

Or gray.

I'm gorgeous and blonde.

Sometimes people do look gaunt. I don't think he was being negative I think he was just stating an observation that he noticed. That's the way I took anyway.

The tone of his voice and the look on his face definitely conveyed negativity.

And the fact that he didn't call me for our lunch date kinda confirms it.

It's okay though, I have nothing invested in this guy. His loss.

I am 51...look at my before and afters. ..no gaunt girl here!

I am sorry I can't spin this positive. It's like somebody has their 40 th birthday and you say "sure hope you don't get bald and fat"

As an engineer-type myself, let me apologize for him. We are sorry. We have no social skills. We know this. lol

With that remark he wasn't being a very "civil" engineer. :)

I don't think he was trying to insult you. It is probably that his mouth was in drive but he was grinding his brain gears.

Too bad for him, you probably look like a different 5 letter word starting with "G" and ending with "T"...GREAT!.

ANYONE who does not get enough daily [Protein and Water will start to look gaunt - sickly, WLS or not.

5 years since surgery, and no one ever knew...never told anyone,\

My weight loss is old news, not many people remember when I was an out of shape fatty.

I too had to stop eating certain foods, but I told people I am changing my ways and starting to eat healthy....so nothing white, and that includes rice.

Im with you, its no bodies business. I never thought about that 5 years down the line people will have forgotten what i looked like prior, lol....

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
