I think I am more sensitive now. I am more annoyed lately when ppl make comments about I have lost too much weight or that I am too small. Mind you I am still more than 20 pounds from my goal weight and the ppl who make this comment usually weigh less than I do and are taller than I am so if they think I look bad how do they look?

I am the same as I was prior to surgery. I know I am a good person and I don't really care what others think.

I think that I am about the same as before surgery. I started a new job after surgery and losing 50 lbs. I have told a lot of people at this job about my surgery, and they have all seemed supportive. At my old job, I never told anyone about my surgery. I just feel more comfortable now. Vivienne

I guess I'm the same. They either like me or they don't. Jules

I agree with Jolene. I think that as I have gotten older, I have just gotten more comfortable with myself and don't really care what other people think. I try to be a good person every day, which as all I can do.

I know i am more sensitive i always have been qand still am even with starting to loose the weight time will tell what happens later. Terri

I think I am less sensitive to it now. Before I had my surgery I was morbidly obese so I hated going out because I just wanted to hide out. I hated the way I viewed myself therefore I projected that onto everyone else whether they were thinking badly of me or not. Now when I go out I don't even think about what anyone else is thinking about me. I feel good about myself so I don't care what others think of me. I'm always going to be bigger than some other women and I'll be smaller than others, I'm not morbidly obese anymore so as long as I'm a healthy weight I'm not going to worry what anyone else thinks anymore!!

I'm mostly oblivious to the way people view me. I don't pay a whole lot of attention. I think it's from years of not wanting to know if people were snickering, or appalled...or whatever, so I stopped paying attention.

I think I am still just as sensative to the way people view me. Before no one, that I know of, commented on my weight; however, now I get your too skinny, stop losing weight, blah blah blah blah. I keep telling everyone I'm fine, I'm maintaining and don't worry about it, but those comments keep coming and it hurts. Michele
