Love when someone tells me that I look different, but then asks, “Did you shave your beard or something?”. Yea....I guess that’s what it is.

They are probably being polite, they know you’ve lost weight but they don’t want to sound rude by mentioning it.

And they will try to hide their embarrassment by asking Did you cut your hair or Is that a different outfit? They aren't quite sure what to ask you, I was dumb enough to ask a friend Do you have Cancer? Nope just a sleeve and she had lost over 25 pounds. Even when heavier she always dressed well, nut there sure wasn't as much of her as the last time I saw here. Still feel stupid asking though.

People are super weird when it comes weight loss and appearances changing.

[emoji6]. It's an incredible change. You look amazing. Betting the beard bit is mainly blokes. Shamelessly stereotyping, but in my long anecdotal experience it holds true.

looking good.

What's funny is even people close to me telling me they don't remember me being "THAT" big.

Congrats you look great. Come on you would never just ask a person.... Did you lose weight?. It's their way of opening the conversation up. At least that's nice. I'm getting are you okay, your not sick are you?. Lose the equalivant of a middle schooler and people assume you are sick...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
