...getting compliments on my hair, lol. It always seems to be when I haven't fixed it either. I think it's misdirected. I think people notice that I look a little different, can't put their finger on why and assume it my hair. Just thought I'd share...kinda funny. Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

I have experienced that in the beginning, but I do feel a difference in my hair almost like the texture is a bit different. I have also experienced Hair loss, which i read up that thats normal the first year. So maybe the thinning is making my hair better? LOL who knew :)

I had a Chinese woman who kept asking me if I had cut my hair. Took her 6 months to decide I had lost weight! LOL I think she was afraid to offend me!

I think people don't want to come of rude by asking if a person has lost weight so they acknowledge the change with a different complement , just my thought on it :)

Agree! No one said a word to me until I had lost 50lbs. I figure they didn't comment when I gained the weight, so I shouldn't expect them to comment when I was losing. Lol

People can't figure out weight loss cause they are used to seeing you at the old weight. They have asked me did i change mu hair, makeup or glasses!!

I find the opposite. People flat out comment about my weight loss. I am not offended because I don't think they mean any harm.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
