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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
