When did people start noticing your weight loss?



Recommended Posts

All I can say is I would rather have people say nothing than say

" Wow, you've lost a TON of weight, you used to be huge":omg:

I get that quite often, I'm not offended tho, shhheee I was huge, still am. I have been told several times that they did not recongnize me, that's good:heh: Maybe I can slip in and out of places without being noticed:heh: . At church I draw a crowd sometimes :biggrin1: I can't imagine what will happen at the end of the year when I reach a 200 lb lost.

;) Oh yeah, most people first noticed at a 50-65lb lost.

I've lost 33 lbs so far, and no one has said anything except my DH. I'm thinking another 20 lbs and I'll be below 200 and people will start to notice. I really don't care, because "I" notices the difference for sure!

Every one began to ask me Are you loseing weight?????

No!!!!, you don't think so do ya??? Yeagh!, maybe. It kinda looks that way to me.

75Lbs lighter. Wow what did you do!!!!!!! can I do it to?

people with this weight loss thing blow me away they really do.

They want to no how.

They are pissed at me, and no longer talk to me, cause they are still heavy.

Of course some people are delighted.

I saw my surgeon yesterday, and they are asking me to possibley become a spokes person for them, and the Lap Band, at there meetings I guess.

They have been kicking this around, and this is the first i hear of it. I'm sure they will kick it around untill more weight comes off. Shirley..:decision:

YES!!! They are wierd arent they!!

When I was in high school I lost 19 pounds and nobody but my librarian said a damn thing. I was so disappointed. I was starting from 204 then on a 5'7" frame.

      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.
