FINALLY! Somebody noticed



Recommended Posts

I have lost 49 pounds and only two people (one of them today!) who didn't know about my surgery have noticed. REALLY PEOPLE!?!?!

Congrats on the 49lbs! That is awesome!!!!

I found that it takes a while for the weight you lose to start showing up. It seems like a two week delay. I'm at 35 pound loss and people are just starting to comment. I also feel like its melting off from the head down. My face is thing but my butt is still bootylicious. Not in a great way. I have lost this much weight before but my body is responding totally different this time.

Isn't crazy I've been this weight before and people are like your half your size... Its only been 25lbs... :-\

I'm 3 weeks out..have lost so far 11 lbs..I noticed in my arms and face a lil..I know I'm not yet losing as fast as I want.. but God willing im heading towards my goal weight..180.. I'm happy everyone here decided to go along with surgery. .I don't feel so left out... what I think I will miss out on is my get togethers..margaritas! !.. does anyone drink alcohol after surgery? ?

If so how much can you drink? Does it burn?

Oh crap I didn't think about drugs...and being a person of color in a predominantly white workplace...scratch that I'm the only black person there so that automatically means that I've started taking the drugs I supposedly sell. God I hope no one notices. I can see a "random" drug test in my future!

LMAO!! OMG, do you plan to tell anyone then??? Lol

Someone said that to me at work a couple of nights ago. I have quite a way to go before I am half the size I was. People just don't know what to say.

Tomorrow I will be 3 weeks out and I am down 24lbs. No one has noticed yet. I tend to think the bigger the more weight loss is needed for people to really notice. I have lost 6" off my waist and I am really happy the weight is coming off. People will notice sometime. In the meanwhile I will just enjoy smiling on the scale instead of frowning.

I don't think it's that they don't notice. Some people are so jealous and grudge hearted they won't tell you. Just keep up the good work believe me people see it

      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.
