"Have you done something different with your hair?"

On Friday a coworker I don't see every day asked me if I had done something differently with my hair.  I haven't, but sometimes the sun brings out natural highlights, so i mentioned that to him and he said it looked very nice, which was a lovely compliment and I continued with my day.  Today it hit me that what he was likely sub-conciously noticing was the fact that I've lost 50lbs in the last 2 months!  My coworkers don't know I've had WLS, and so far nobody has noticed or commented on my weight loss (which is fine!) but I am wondering when it will be obvious.  I really don't think my hair looks any different than it normally does, but maybe I was just having a slammin' hair day...   Has anyone else experienced people noticing something....different....about you, at this stage of the weight loss process?

A week after surgery, the lady at the nail salon looked at me and said....You look different.

Yep, I got "did you get your hair cut?" At around 50lbs.  Didn't start getting the weight questions until around 75lbs.  I guess they don't want to say anything unless they're sure....
