Questions

For me, it really depends on who is asking and why I think they are asking.  If it's someone I am comfortable with, I'll let them how many pounds I've lost.  If it's someone I don't know well and that's just being nosy, I'll give a "soft" response like "I've lost enough to be really healthy now."  It took a few experiences for me to sort out how I wanted to handle this, and the same might be true for you.  But decide what path you want to take that will be comfortable for you.  Also, when people were negative about WLS or I got a bad vibe from someone, I would just quickly wrap up the conversation.  This was a personal decision that I do not need to justify to anyone.   Good luck finding a solution that "fits" you -  Kellie
