Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App It took over a month and 35 pounds for someone to say something to me. My neighbor complimented me and made a gesture as though it was my midsection which shrunk. People may be hesitant to give out such compliments, but they will come with time! I'm looking forward to 6-7 months down the road and seeing people I haven't seen since before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryan_86 335 Posted January 29, 2017 I lost 55 pounds PRE-op, and no one but family said a word until I was down about 70 pounds post-op. After the first few times, I wanted people to stop talking about it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berry78 4,261 Posted January 31, 2017 I think the sweet spot for others to notice is 30lbs, or 2 sizes, whichever comes 2nd Sent from my SM-N920R4 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torriluv87 300 Posted January 31, 2017 Im kind of dreading when it gets warmer because i don't know if and what kind of reactions I'll get. I've never done very well with attention but I've been working on that. Hopefully i can lose the amount of weight i want before i start traveling later on this year.

WitchySar 244 Posted January 31, 2017 I've lost 66 pounds since I started last June (2016). No one notices. Hell, even my clothes fit the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ra_girl 1 Posted January 31, 2017 It was the opposite for me, I'm down 18 lbs since surgery, now 191. I did also change how I dress and not wearing anything that's loose on me. I kept all my smaller clothes since my weight gain has been mainly in the last 6 years. I got a new haircut as well to help my round face look slimmer. I've been slow to loose, and I guess these things help me stay motivated and I no longer cringe when I look in the mirror.
