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.

      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!!
