When I finally got my chance and enough money up to have my surgery I was not shy about telling anyone who would listen that I was about to change my life and have 85% of my stomach ripped out.  Now it's two months post op and a total of 65 lbs down (including pre op diet) and its starting to show quite a bit. I'm  getting complements every day from co workers about how great I look but along with that almost always comes "How do you feel? Are you OK?"  LOL. I always answer politely, "Thank you, I feel great!"  

I think it's wonderful that people are so concerned but really people, I'm fine. As a matter of fact, I'm the best I've been in years!

Congrats!  I know just what you mean - I told everyone too - so no does she have cancer wonder as to why the weight was dropping lol.  

I think people see how little we eat and think there is no way you can be ok on that - after all, they think "I just ate a big mac, super sized fry and large diet coke and am still hungry - can I have the rest of your lunch?"  LOL

Keep rockin your sleeve!

Wow, you are doing great. My family and friends have been great all along the way during my weight loss. However, co-workers not so much. I was in a meeting one day when my supervisor pulled me out just to tell me she was concerned about me and that I was losing too much weight. REALLY? My response was exactly what you had said "I'm fine. As a matter of fact, I'm the best I've been in years!" What I really wanted to say is, "I wish you would have said something to me years ago as I gained weight and continued getting fatter and fatter". All I can say is, some people are crazy. Well, keep us posted on you success and keep up the hard work, it's paying off.
