Love when someone tells me that I look different, but then asks, “Did you shave your beard or something?”. Yea....I guess that’s what it is.

They are probably being polite, they know you’ve lost weight but they don’t want to sound rude by mentioning it.

And they will try to hide their embarrassment by asking Did you cut your hair or Is that a different outfit? They aren't quite sure what to ask you, I was dumb enough to ask a friend Do you have Cancer? Nope just a sleeve and she had lost over 25 pounds. Even when heavier she always dressed well, nut there sure wasn't as much of her as the last time I saw here. Still feel stupid asking though.

People are super weird when it comes weight loss and appearances changing.

[emoji6]. It's an incredible change. You look amazing. Betting the beard bit is mainly blokes. Shamelessly stereotyping, but in my long anecdotal experience it holds true.

looking good.

What's funny is even people close to me telling me they don't remember me being "THAT" big.

Congrats you look great. Come on you would never just ask a person.... Did you lose weight?. It's their way of opening the conversation up. At least that's nice. I'm getting are you okay, your not sick are you?. Lose the equalivant of a middle schooler and people assume you are sick...

      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.
