How much weight did you loose before people started noticing?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 7 months out and 70 lbs down. People are starting to notice. Not that it matters to me. But it has been a positive experience. At what point did people notice your weight loss?

I'm almost 6 months out and almost 60 lbs down... I think ppl that don't see me often notice immediately. Those that see me daily/weekly started asking at about 30/40 lbs down?

Good question!

I'm only 5 weeks out. My husband said he sees (and feels ;)) the difference already. I've lost 35 lbs since beginning prep op diet and 15 since surgery.

50 lbs. Someone at work just recently stopped me and asked if I had lost weight. It was weird, especially since I don't really "see it yet." I think the bigger you are the more it takes to see a difference.

My husband and friends that know about my surgery say they see a change, but I think they are mainly just trying to be encouraging. I have only barely gone down one clothing size.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
