YEAH!!!! It feels great!! Enjoy it!!! Savor every second!!

I think that even if they dont say anything they still notice they just are not going to praise for weight loss- its a weird girl thing in my office. It would KILL them to say wow your losing weight!! The only one who has said anything is the only male who works at my office!!

Awesome !!! What a great feeling!!!

I know it makes my day when it happens (and it doesn't happen very often). I believe the people I know are more hesitant to say anything to me - I just had my first experience myself and it made my day!!!

People weren't to hesitant to say things to me when I was heavier - at my highest weight an old co-worker asked me if I was pregnant again. I was so hurt. I told her no, I was just fat - thanks for noticing !!!

Took my co-workers 60 lbs to notice. I think its hard for other women to acknowlege women 's successes in weight loss. Men have been conditioned not to comment. Another reason we need a buddy during weight loss to encourage us along the way.

There's also the people who always comment and you're not sure if they're just being nice. I want one of those talking mirrors like the witch in Snow White.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall...do I look any skinnier today?"

      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.
