applegal79 19 Posted February 27, 2015 I had sleeve surgery on 12/12 and have been doing well losing weight. I started at 232 lbs so not super large but definitely overweight at 5'6". Since I've been back to work nobody has asked about my weight loss, partially I think it's because I work in an office with quite a few caddy women so god for bid they'd pay anyone a compliment. Anyways, one of our managers came in town yesterday and he looked at me and stumbled a bit, he said "Whit I don't mean to be rude but have you lost a little I mean a lot of weight"? I wanted to kiss him lol finally someone besides my parents said something...it's taken losing 36 pounds but definitely well worth it!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele Heany 3 Posted February 28, 2015 It feels great when someone notices! keep up the good work I had a gastric bypass and have finally lost 61lbs have several more to go but am well on my way.

applegal79 19 Posted February 28, 2015 Thank you both! It's coming off slowly but surely! I can't complain as my weight definitely didn't come on overnight! I'm in good spirits and not a day goes past that I am not 100% glad I started this journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmrennau 58 Posted February 28, 2015 They said at our weight it takes around 30-40 lbs for others to notice I had weight loss once before and I found that to be true as well! We can feel it first before anyone can see it. I definitely felt lighter in my walk even getting out of the tub was way easier! Imagen a gallon of milk I think is about 5 lbs so u just dropped 8 gallons of milk !!! awesome feeling isn't it? Say* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
