@@Peekboo Do I think I look different? Not that much, but I look at myself multiple times a day. People I haven't seen since surgery said I look fantastic last week and one of my best friends says it's noticeable in my face. The hubs says he notices it a lot when he hugs me too so there must be a change that I'm not seeing.

I think you absolutely look different. Congrats. I had my sleeve on Oct. 8. First few weeks I had lost a decent amount but, like you, not everyone noticed. It started to bother me but I kinda just decided not to let it moving forward. Now I'm down just over 55 pounds as of this am (I weigh ONE time per week) Now, I get complimented constantly by friends and people in haven't seen for awhile. In fact yesterday I got stopped twice by friends I haven't seen since surgery while shopping Best Buy and by my neighbor when I got home. They all were incredibly nice and went on and on. People now notice and it's nice, it kinda reaffirms my choice a little bit. I'm telling you if you stay the course, follow your plan and get in some exercise you will hear the compliments...constantly. Another thing, I can tell you that I have noticed people that I'm sure have lost weight and haven't always said something. I think it's human nature a bit. Depending on your relationship with thembthey may think that saying something may be too personal, or intrusive. I know I've felt that way. So, know that you definitely look thinner, and probably alot more people have noticed your shrinking size than have led on. Merry Christmas. :)

I have lost 40 and not one has noticed or said anything at work. Maybe they just think it's a sensitive question. We have. Treadmill desk at work and I use this during my lunch time. I am not coordinated enough to walk and work on my computer at the same time lol. So people do see me work out

Kpar, I know its strange when noone comments but I wonder if its like when myo worker who is 125Lbs loses 5 pounds and I dont notice, lol. Im guessing when I have lost 50 is when everyone will think I lost 20lbs, go figure!

Kpar- I think seeing the weight loss is about percentages, but I would think by 40 lbs someone would've noticed! Are you wearing different or same clothes? For a while, people were telling me that they liked my hair (Not different)! So maybe folks see that something is different, but can't figure out what?

      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.
