When did people notice your weight loss?



Recommended Posts

I'm glad I'm reading your answers so I know what to expect. When I was losing weight a few years ago, people noticed at the -25 pound stage, but the compliments and remarks from haters were constant around the -40 to -50 pound loss.

When I came back to work from my 2 weeks off from surgery , my coworkers were telling me how good I looked and I was down 30 at that time. I love my job and it's people. They are so supportive. ♡♡

I am going on a cruise 7 weeks after my surgery. can anyone tell me what to expect at 7 weeks out.

You might get better answers if you create a separate thread instead of hijacking this one.
Wow that was kinda rude. Depending on your doctors instructions At 7 Weeks you will be eating a large variety of foods. You won't be on fresh veggies probably. But on a cruise you should have no problem at all getting your Protein. Lots to choose from on the smorgasbords! Make sure and take your supplements with you and even pack some pre-mixed Protein shakes. I love cruises! You will have so much fun.

And don't worry about posting in the wrong thread. For some reason there are people that get weirdly territorial and snappy but for the most part, lots of people are happy to help!!

thank you. I was new and had no idea there were rules..

I'm down 40 and no one other than my wife has noticed. I'm still wearing the same clothes and I think that has a lot to do with it.

I'm now at the weight (242) I was when I went from XL to XXL. Once I get to 235 or so, I'm going to Target and spending $100 on some XL stuff. Then people will notice.

My goal is 190, so I'm hoping to be donating all my XXL and XL clothes to Goodwill in the spring.

No one said anything to me until I lost about 50 lbs and to be honest when I look in the mirror I don't see the weight loss at all but when I post a side by side pic I see it. It is definitely mental

      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.
