Nsv - Someone Finally Noticed!



Recommended Posts

I've lost a little over 43 lbs and up until today no one had even noticed. Not my friends, not my family, no one. But today a co-worker asked me if I'm losing weight. Finally! I'm not crazy about added attention, but it was a little disheartening to have lost this much weight and having nobody even realize.

It is so nice when someone says something. I think sometimes people notice but are afraid to say anything because they feel like they will offend you (even I know I am afraid sometimes to ask if someone has lost weight, and I have been there!). Congratulations on your weight loss!!

I know for myself personally, I like when people notice I've lost weight. I'll take all the compliments I can get.

This is always a tricky question. So I seldom will ask anyone due to not wanting to embarrass them or myself if I'm wrong. :))

People that see you everyday or often my not notice the change but those that see you occasionally will but may not say anything for fear of offending you. You can share your accomplishments by mentioning your new pant size or that you have been losing weight and that would leave them open to compliment you. I've lost quite a few pounds pre sleeve and only one person mentioned that I looked like I'm losing weight. Everyone I live with haven't said a thing.

Do you think there are people out there who will see your weight loss and not say anything due to jealousy. For some reason, they don't want to validate your decision?

I've lost weight and no one said anything - it was disheartening. The worse thing is that even though the scale said one thing, my clothes didn't feel it either.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
