Feeling happy and sad at the same time....

I had open RNY on July 23, 2002. I have gone from 301 lbs. to 251 lbs. in less than 8 weeks. Basically I have lost almost 50lbs. altogether. I can notice the difference almost everywhere. My old size 28's (which were tight) have now been replaced with 22's. I have lost a lot of inches on every part of me. My husband says he can tell for sure. But, the problem is...No one else has said anything. No one in his family has said a single word to me about losing weight (they all know I had surgery too). Not any of my friends either. I don't understand. I know the first 20 or 30 lbs would not be noticable probably....but 50? I am so happy I have lost so much, but would really enjoy hearing someone say, "WOW...you have lost a lot of weight!" or something similiar. It isnt like I need their validation or anything...It would just feel good I guess. Did this happen to anyone else? Did they say anything at 100 or 150lbs? OR did they act like they never even noticed even after you went from a size 28 to a size 6? People can be so strange. Thanks...
