It took over a month and 35 pounds for someone to say something to me. My neighbor complimented me and made a gesture as though it was my midsection which shrunk.

People may be hesitant to give out such compliments, but they will come with time!

I'm looking forward to 6-7 months down the road and seeing people I haven't seen since before surgery.

I lost 55 pounds PRE-op, and no one but family said a word until I was down about 70 pounds post-op.

After the first few times, I wanted people to stop talking about it.

I think the sweet spot for others to notice is 30lbs, or 2 sizes, whichever comes 2nd

Im kind of dreading when it gets warmer because i don't know if and what kind of reactions I'll get. I've never done very well with attention but I've been working on that. Hopefully i can lose the amount of weight i want before i start traveling later on this year.

I've lost 66 pounds since I started last June (2016). No one notices. Hell, even my clothes fit the same.

It was the opposite for me, I'm down 18 lbs since surgery, now 191. I did also change how I dress and not wearing anything that's loose on me. I kept all my smaller clothes since my weight gain has been mainly in the last 6 years. I got a new haircut as well to help my round face look slimmer. I've been slow to loose, and I guess these things help me stay motivated and I no longer cringe when I look in the mirror.
