Does anyone have any advise as to how to act when people make a big fuss out of my weight loss? Maybe just a thank you will work.
I had surgery 11 days ago and am now 17 pounds lighter from pre liquid diet. my pants are getting baggy, but I do miss texture in my food. The Dr. says Monday I can eat puree food. Yum!

Kathy, just a simple thank you is all you really need to give. I know for myself I look at it as a gift given to me by another. What do you say when someone gives you a gift? I say "thank you".
