Even though I only lost about 4 lbs last month and 4lbs the month before that, I feel great!! I'm losing inches like crazy!!! The weirdest thing about this whole journey is how others look at me. I'm the SAME person I've always been, yet I'm no longer invisible to the general population!  I get creepy guys LURKING at me at work all day (the "joy" of retail).  men are so retarded when it comes to hitting on a woman...its like their cave man instincts come out....they stand WAY too close (like in my personal bubble)...they stare way too long with a goofy, creepy smile on their face and say really stupid shit all the time like "how YOU doin"...in a joey from friends voice! uggg...its so NOT complimentary! I had one guy nicely ask to take me to lunch one day (which I declined since I'm engaged and wear a BIG FAT diamond ring on my finger every day) but at least he was nice! EVERY ONE else is gross!

I've worked with a couple people who have had the surgery and lost lots of weight and said its super uncomfortable to have people tell you all day how great you look....I think thats in the eye of the beholder.  It doesn't bother me at all to have normal people give me compliments (unless they want to stand there for like 10-20 minutes repeating themselves OVER AND OVER saying the same thing..."oh wow...u look GREAT!...I can't believe how good you look! oh wow...you look GREAT..." you get the idea :/  otherwise, most people just say it once and move on...and it really is a compliment...doesn't make me uncomfortable...and i don't look at it negatively like some people do ....yes, I do look a LOT better than I did...i FEEL a lot better than I did and I'm sure that comes out in how I look as well. I get told how much prettier I am or that I am glowing ...a LOT! I've always been a bubbly person, smiling all the time so I don't know how or why I'd be glowing except that I'm HEALTHIER so maybe my skin is healthier too??? probably. 
I still LOVE my RNY! but i hate the creepy guys I attract now...but I guess its just one of those things I'm gonna hafta learn how to deal with. 

Pre surgery weight: 270
surgery day weight: 253
current weight: 175
goal weight: 140

woohoo! only 35 more lbs to go to goal weight! I haven't been under 170 since I was 19 or 20 so I'm looking forward to hittting that goal soon as well!!
