How long before others noticed your weight loss?



Recommended Posts

a few people noticed while I was on the pre op diet. But after surgery I started get a lot of comments within 2 weeks.

At 65 lbs lost I had one person tell me I looked different, but they couldn't put their finger on how I looked different. At 90 lbs lost, I have had two coworkers ask me if I have lost weight. Started at 380, now at 289.

I would say about 50lbs when people started noticing who didn't know I had the surgery. My friends and family who knew said they could notice within a month due to my face thining out.

It only took about a month, since they don't see me that often. They always call me skinny mini now. I just laugh.

Some notice others dont. Depending on how large you are. Losing 40 pounds when your 250 is noticed easier than losing 40 pounds when you're 500 (me)

When I returned to work after two weeks off my coworkers noticed, and I had only lost 14 lbs! My parents, on the other hand, who I had seen the day before surgery, still haven't noticed lol.

people notice the weight loss, but what some people have said has left me confused. Has anyone said " well you look different" what the heck does that mean? mostly co workers, so I don't confront and say what does that mean! I take it as they think I look worse. I dunno nor should I care! seventy five pound down since I started my weight loss journey, surgery was on 11/21/17, only about 20 since surgery.

For me it was 100lbs but I was bigger. But I lost over 230 lbs twice once on Weight Watchers and once with RNY . Each time it was right when I hit the 100 lbs mark casual people noticed ...meaning people that didn't know what I was going through.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
