There is going to be a food party tonight after graduation.
A lot of people there knows I have had surgery.

I HATE being starred at. Let alone, I am pretty confident
I will make good eating choices with what is available.

I really dont know how to react when someone says ... you
look good! Or you lost weight? and then They keep looking
at me.

Family is in town from new york. This happen the other night
when we had a family dinner at bubba gumps restaurant.

I just know it is going to happen again. they dont talk about the
surgery but they just stare!

is it my head or what? how do I react... this is very different for me.

I hated when that happed when I had the band. I use to get get, "are you suppose to be eating that?" Finally I got the courage and just exploded. I said, I appreciate your concern about what I am eating but you should focus on your eating habits and will focus on mine!" It worked.
Just be confident and if someone ask you did you lose weight say, yes I did thank you for noticing and just go about your business...that is my opinion.

If you are self-conscious about compliments, in response to them saying "You've lost weight! You look good!" I would say "Yes I have, thank you so much for noticing!" and then ask them something about themselves or compliment them immediately afterwards.

People love talking about themselves, so if you shoot the topic right back to them, they'll probably go on and on and instead of you being in the spotlight, you'll be back to where you're comfortable.

But... you deserve to be in the spotlight, girl-- look at all of your weight-loss success!!

Good luck with your dinner.

lol! Sorry about the staring - that must feel really weird. My family just asks - ANYTHING... Be happy with your success and that they are noticing how great you look. Maybe they are watching what you eat to see if they can emulate what you do. Have fun and try not to be too annoyed!
