I have reached 60 pounds and I must say I do not feel different. I still look in the mirror and see the fat rolls on my stomach that are not budging and that depresses me. I have stalled right around 60 pounds...fluctuating up and down a couple pounds and I am getting discouraged!!!! I think the biggest thing that bugs me is - I thought by the time I reached 50-60 pounds, you'd really be able to tell and people would be like wow- are you losing weight? And I have had that occasionally but not what I thought at all and I guess I am just feeling down about everything. Anyone else feel like this? Oh and I am 7 months post op...

Don't be down on yourself!!! 60 lbs is a huge success and something to be extreme proud of. I'm not sure how much more you have to lose, but know if you keep it up, the weight WILL come off!

People may be noticing and just not saying anything. The other day a colleague overheard me talking on the phone to my hubby about my weight loss. When I got off the phone he said that he had noticed I had lost weight however did not want to say anything as he was concerned I might take it the wrong way!! He said congratulations. Sometimes people are unsure whether to say something or sometimes because people see you everyday it is harder for them to notice the weight loss. It is that way with my hubby. I ask him if he has noticed and he says a little. I went to work and my friend that has been on holiday was back and she was amazed!!! Keep your chin up your doing great!!!!

come on now.. you are on the downside... just because people don't say anything doesn't mean they don't notice... at first people would say wow you are looking great,, now they are used to me being thinner so not too many comments.. Did you do this to get other people's attention, I doubt it.. you did it for yourself.. so keep on going and ignore the rest of it..

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
