Has someone commented on your weight loss?



Recommended Posts

I haven't been given any nicknames, just lots of "you look great!" type of comments. I kind of don't like it when people comment on my weightloss, actually. It makes me wonder what they thought of me 70 lbs ago. I went to a salon a week ago and the esthetician commented on how I look like "a woman who obviously takes care of her health." NO ONE would ever say that to me back in the fat days, but really, my lifestyle's not that different.

@Coops and Chilo - I hear ya, it takes time for our brains to catch up with how we really look. I just wanted to tell you both that you have come a long way and I view you both as slender ladies. :)

@Lily - They will come, believe me!!!

Re the Hubby - that is sooo cool, my hubby said something like that a few days ago, he referred to me as "my skinny wife"... Loved it!!! :P

A student calls me skinny mini (but she used to call me that before I ever lost the weight!tongue.gif) I do get "your melting before my eyes" and "WOW! you look fantastic...." An old friend I ran into a couple of days ago noticed I have lost weight and said I look really "healthy" I'm meeting with her to discuss WLS this weekend, she is in for getting it for herself already!

My landlord asked hubby if I am going to be a model... teeth_smile.gif (he is kind of a typical cerimonious middle-aged Italian, but still!)

As I wrote on my status, my friend told me that the amount of weight I lost is the same amount an English female bulldog weighs as an adult... I love this one, I know it might not really sound as a compliment, but it made my day. At least now I can figure how much I lost!

Oh, and then there are people who keep telling me i should stop, because losing so much weight isn't healthy whatchutalkingabout_smile.gif... Yeah, whatever. I answer that I just need to lose another couple of kilos...

All the comments I have gotten have been really polite, and I appreciate it. I don't like people who create nicknames for me, etc. It kind of makes me uncomfortable. But, I like it when someone politely asks if I've lost weight, and then tells me I am looking healthy. I guess I am just sensitive about my weight, regardless of whether it's up or down the scale :-))

I get called skinny a lot. I get a lot of attention from people who have seen me walking every day and have seen the 70 lbs loss over the last nine months.

omg yesterday was my first "outing" since the sleeve...a baby shower in the day and a party at night.....i got a lot of comments...it was overwhelming

I have had a lot of positive comments...i think my insecurity about keeping my surgery a secret from most, has me wondering if ppl are speculating.

One of my male friends asked me "Sam, when was the last time I saw you" to which i replied two months ago laugh.gif

at the party a girl i knew came up to me and said "Hey skinny" which is hilarious cuz i am 280 lbs smh

this guy I know told me I am losing too much weight now dry.gif

My FB is flooded with comments from ppl telling me i look great,

this is just the beginning and so far I LOVE ITbiggrin.gif

Recently I have been hearing, "Girl if you get any smaller the wind is going to blow you away." I just laugh because the funny thing is when I go outside and a strong wind blows, in my mind i feel like I dont have to brace myself for this because im not skinny. In reality I do get jared by the wind. My husband has actually had to reach out to steady me. LOL I think it is great.

One of my co-workers told me "Hey I'm telling you now that I don't want to see skinny jeans at work" and my neighbor (female) said that as I walked into her court yard she can see i'm losing weight because she can see my boobs first and not my belly. Odd but OK, I'll take it. LOL

      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.
