Default A little wow.

So I was away from work for three days, as everyone at work was, with the 4th/July holiday.

I did have a 2 lb. "hamburger whoosh" on Saturday.

Anyway, I went to work today and it seems that everyone said something to me about how my weight loss was beginning to show. Even my teeny weenie partner said, "Wow. You look skinnier today!"

Really?

wow.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I was down 50 before anyone said anything to me about it. Don't know if they were being cautious or they couldn't see it, but I had changed a couple of sizes by then.

Sure feels good when you reach that point, doesn't it?

That is a great wow, love it when people start to see it when you lose weight. I also had to lose alot of weight before people noticed it at the beginning. Now I lose about 10 pounds or so and people can see it when I lose. Keep up the great work.

Thats wonderful that people are noticing. ya, sometimes I think people look at you, and think, weight loss, or is it the clothes....lol
So now that you have been losing more, the compliments will really show. One suggestion to everyone postop. Try to wear clothes that fit you. Even when sometimes you may skip a size down, go to the local thrift store, or rummage sales, and get some smaller sizes. You will be happier when you wear clothes that are more flattering on you. Wearing baggy clothes does NOT make you look as much thinner, then you really are. When I see someone thats pants are so baggy on them, I tell them, go buy something really cheap that fits, as it may only fit, for a couple weeks, before it gets too large on you.....Just my humble opinion.....
