Co-workers are starting to notice weight loss!

I have told a lot of people about my surgery but I tend to have a bit of a big mouth. It is perfectly ok if you choose not to tell people it is your choice. You can simply tell them you are watching what you eat and exercising. Good luck on this incredible journey.

Like you, I've only told a handful of people in my world and only three people at work who will keep my secret. It's nobody's business, and I don't want a ton of folks asking me endless questions. Luckily, I've been nursing some knee problems, so folks at work think I had knee surgery. I was sleeved on June 27 and returned to work on July 9th. I've lost 28 lbs--16 lbs during the pre-op liquid diet and 12 since surgery (roughly a pound a day). Some folks are noticing, but I've worked at my job for eight years and they've seen my weight go up and down with yo-yo dieting in all that time. Some probably just think, "oh, she's on the "down slope" again" lol However, the next three months are really when I'm anticipating the questions. I'll just say, working out more and eating less. Plus, Protein Shakes are my friend.. and leave it at that. I love this sleeve.. and can't wait to move to my "soft foods" stage on Monday.
