You are right. I am going through that too. You have cancer? Don't lose anymore weight. You OK?

I don't mind. It is better than being the way I was 9 months ago. Skinny is fun. Buying clothes at regular stores. Not pigging out but feeling pig out after I eat. Life is good to us. Thanks for the post!

Yesturday I met with a friend and we had breakfast, and she said, OMG, you eat so little. My reply was, I don't need any more any ways. She told me that I need to stop losing weight, I'm too skinny, my scale is incorrect. I told her that I don't care about the scale, I care about inches. She just kept telling me how my scale was wrong! I'm like aren't you hearing me, I'm not going by the scale. Afterwards we went to the mall and did some shopping. SHe kept talking about her fatness. :( to hear her that way. Then when she was leaving her external voice (should have been internal) said, "I can't handle your skinniness." :rolleyes: I recognize that this is her issue and that I was patient by not reacting to her sh$$ and was just enjoying my time. It is quite amazing to watch her little dance and to know that that's her sh$$ and I don't need to buy into that stuff. I love being skinny, and no, I'm not too skinny either. I'm just about the right size (not weight)! And that's what matters to me. When you have friends or family that are struggling with your changes, step back, and watch their little dance they do! It is trully entertaining. :rolleyes:

I think they just love you and are concerned. It's not very often that someone actually loses all their weight. They will get used to the new you! Way to go!!

The last time I successfully lost weight was 7 years ago. I lost about 40 lbs, and was nowhere NEAR a healthy weight yet.... I was around 145 lbs with another 20 to lose, and I got the SAME comments then!!! Someone actually said to me that I must be sick and did I have cancer?? MY GOD! And I wasn't even at my goal!! So yes people will see you differently because they still expect you to be fat and sometimes their own self esteem rides a little bit on looking better than you!! No more!!!

Btw, I gained all 40 lbs back in a year. Sigh. Which is why I am having VSG! :)

      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.
