wwooooooooohooooooooo! your lookin great!!! congradulations.diana

You look great! I didn't recognize your new photo either. I was telling another December friend that I was so happy to be down from a 5x to "just" x. I bought a nightgown in a 1x and had to take it back because it was too big. That never happened before. I am really enjoying those kinds of WOW moments.

My nut. suggested max of 800 calories also & 60-90 grams of protein. I had a stall last for a few weeks, I was stuck at 38lbs, then I refused to step on the scale, I was loosing inches bit - by -bit and one day I took my daughter to the doc and jumped on his scale and it was down 10lbs, I wasnt too excited because 'different scale' thing. But when i got home i was down 10!!!! It will happen to you too!

I can realate. It makes me feel uncomfortable when people who I am not close with want to know the specifics. I try to dodge the question by using the "i dont weigh often, so I am unsure" response, but I have had a few people who kept pressing for a number. I don't think they are being rude, just curious. I was just thinking about possible answers the other day and the next time it happens I think I might say "oh, enough to feel a ton better" or something along those lines. I think that might give them the clue that I am not going to answer with an actual poundage. I hope others have a good responce, because I really need one too. AND furthermore, I never really know what to say when people who I would answer the question for ask, because over the past two years I lost about 40 pounds on my own before WLS, so do they want to know TOTAL or just SURGERY pounds lost.

Hi December friends, Over the weekend I had something a little embarrassing thing happen and I was wondering if you have experienced it yet and how you handled it ? Or if maybe I'm being too sensitive because I'm generally pretty shy? My brother and sister-in-law were over and it was the first time they'd seen me since about a week after surgery. They were going on and on about how they could tell such a difference and it was really nice to hear and I'm grateful for their support and concern. But they also had a guy friend with them that I don't know at all and I was a bit embarrassed when they kept asking how much weight I've lost and when I tried to shrug it off and say I didn't know EXACTLY because I try not to weigh too often, they started guessing. lol. With family and close friends, I don't really mind telling them but I don't feel comfortable talking about it with strangers or mere acquaintences... (I've lost 90 pounds including the 30 before surgery but still have much more than that to go) Anyway, any suggestions on how to handle these situations? Or perhaps on what to tell the one co-worker who I am not close with but who asks me every time she sees me? I guess I sound petty because I should be happy people are interested... And I was pretty open with people when it came to letting people know I was having the surgery... I just am too shy to talk about specifics at this point. Thanks!
