................my weight loss :scared2:

In the last week three friends, each from different groups (work, choir, neighbor) have commented on my weight loss. Yeah!

I haven't told anyone outside my immediate family that I had surgery so their comments are a little extra encouraging for me.

I've been taking my picture on the monthly anniversary of my surgery. I don't see 'dramatic' results - but I do see a difference.

How many pounds did you loose before people started to notice?

That's awesome that people are noticing. The last time I lost weight, it was the coolest when people I hadn't seen in a while DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE ME!! It was a hoot. I'd say like "Hello Sally" and Sally would look at me like I was a stranger. People are noticing less now than before just because of how my weight re-distributed itself when I regained, and this is my 2nd time around within a few years.

If they are noticing now, then this is the time it starts. They will notice first your face. Beware though that when you settle closer to your goal weight those comments will come less and less. Do not rely on those to keep you going but do enjoy them for now.

God Bless!

Congrats!! Thats exciting for you! When I had lost about 30lbs, my fam and friends that knew I had surgery said they were noticing. But after 40lbs, everyone I know has commented. So that makes me feel good :scared2:

Isn't that the BEST feeling!! It is is like: FINALLY someone notices enough to actually make a comment to you.

I work with a ton of people and it wasn't until I had lost over 60lbs women started commenting on my wt loss.

      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! 😞
