What has your family noticed ? - ThinnerTimes - Gastric Bypass Forum, Lap Band Forum, and Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Forum

Last night hubby and I were watching tv in bed he reached over and touched my arm and said " your arm is getting thinner too !" I had to laugh and say "yeah right "

I had my surgery on 9/28 and think I have lost about 35 pounds but whenever anyone "notices" it's usually in the face.
What are some of the comments your family has made ? I know hubby said the day I came home from the hospital he was taking my 12 y.o daughter to the store and she said to him " Mom doesn't look any different" I had to chuckle. I guess she thought this was a miracle surgery in one day fat and out the next like a model.
Just wondering

My fiance notices every little thing about me. He says my top half is slimming down and my butt is taking shape. He tells me how beautiful I am even when I feel like crap. It is nice to know someone we love notices are progress.

Awww Bridget! I think your a riot! Everybody noticed my face getting thinner first and now everybody at work is always saying,"Amber's got a little butt!" To the tune of nannie nannie boo boo! Oh well, better than Amber's butt has it's own zip code!

everyone around me it's really noticing, my parents are freaked out by my face, my brother told me I've lost a lot of neck and back fat and my arms are getting too skinny, my college friends told me I got way slimmer in a very short time. hehe I'm SO happy people notice that.

Yes, I can fit into smaller clothes but I kept up at Dollywood! Yes I walked and walked and walked. I also rode and could fit in every ride the kids did. YES!

I had a parent and student walk into my office last Friday at school. I was on the phone and motioned that I'd be right with them. When I asked it I could help them, the mom said, "Oh, excuse me I was looking for Cindy." I just smiled and said I was Cindy. She just kept looking at me with this funny look, like I was lying. The mom had been in a parent workshop I had taught last year and didn't recognize me. I think I still look exactly the same.

My husband told me he has noticed I am a lot more self confident. I like that!

Most people notice my face.....I notice the most in my wrists and lower arms....one friend noticed my lower belly......my boyfriend and niece noticed my butt taking shape.

Oh, my boyfriend accused me of being a little grumpy......but he was smart enough to say it in a "schnookie" tone of voice.

You know it is funny how we go through the same things.
People noticed my face first, but could not figure out what had happen.
Now I am noticing how my arms and legs are smaller and how small my butt has gotten you know what it hurts to sit too long no padding on the butt. (lol). And my family is always telling me how small I look, wow what a difference. And Cindy I had the same thing happen to me, someone I had worked closely with for about 2 years and I have not seen in 6 months, saw me and was not sure who I was. I had to tell him and he still says no way it can not be you.. (LOL).. I love it.....
