................my weight loss :scared2:

In the last week three friends, each from different groups (work, choir, neighbor) have commented on my weight loss. Yeah!

I haven't told anyone outside my immediate family that I had surgery so their comments are a little extra encouraging for me.

I've been taking my picture on the monthly anniversary of my surgery. I don't see 'dramatic' results - but I do see a difference.

How many pounds did you loose before people started to notice?

That's awesome that people are noticing. The last time I lost weight, it was the coolest when people I hadn't seen in a while DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE ME!! It was a hoot. I'd say like "Hello Sally" and Sally would look at me like I was a stranger. People are noticing less now than before just because of how my weight re-distributed itself when I regained, and this is my 2nd time around within a few years.

If they are noticing now, then this is the time it starts. They will notice first your face. Beware though that when you settle closer to your goal weight those comments will come less and less. Do not rely on those to keep you going but do enjoy them for now.

God Bless!

Congrats!! Thats exciting for you! When I had lost about 30lbs, my fam and friends that knew I had surgery said they were noticing. But after 40lbs, everyone I know has commented. So that makes me feel good :scared2:

Isn't that the BEST feeling!! It is is like: FINALLY someone notices enough to actually make a comment to you.

I work with a ton of people and it wasn't until I had lost over 60lbs women started commenting on my wt loss.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
