Met up with some teacher friends yesterday............no one noticed I lost any weight.  One gal knows because I told her but said nothing!!  According to everyone else it is very noticable!!  Anyone else experienced a non-reaction???  I never brought it up but I have to be honest...........my feelings have been hurt.  I know it is only 30 lbs. but still.  OK, done feeling sorry for myself.  LOL

 The people that matter notice...maybe they didn't want to say something and be wrong? 

Cheryl, new avatar really looking good.  Congrats!

How do you know no one noticed?  Did you ask them if they noticed?  It sounds like you wanted them to say something about it without you bringing it up first, but some people think it's not very polite to ask people about their weight.  Weight is a personal thing.  I think it's just like some people think it's not polite to ask someone how old they are.

A while back my sister and I ran into my ex-husband.  He'd lost a TON of weight.  I hadn't seen him in a few years, and seriously, I bet he'd lost 200 pounds.  Maybe more.  I barely recognized him.  My sister said, "Hey, how did you lose all that weight?"  I shocked that she would ask him that.  I thought it was not very polite of her to ask.  I was not going to say a word about his weight loss.   That did not mean I didn't noticed, I sure did notice.

Same thing happened to me yesterday-- ran into a couple of people I know while shopping and no one noticed! Now, I've only lost 20 pounds, so mine is less noticeable that yours-- but still!

Actually they're not people I see all that often-- so maybe thats why.

I feel your pain. A co-worker of mine who doesn't come in to the office very often asked me the other day if I had my surgery yet.  45 pounds and 2 clothing sizes down and he didn't notice?! That sucks.

We want praise for our hard work, dammit!

 Cheer up girl!  If you're anything like me.... I have gained and lost weight so many times,  Im sure my friends and family are used to seeing me go up and down.  lol.  Im sure they did notice, but didn't want to bring it up.  Weight is a touchy thing for people to bring up on their own.

You're doing great!  The closest to you notice and tell you.... thats what matters!

Keep up the great work!

Actually, it's considered rude to make comments about someone else's appearance. 

Sometimes people just don't know what to say. I have lost a 70 lbs since my surgery and people do not say much to me about it because they just simply just do not know what to say. If they finally do say something they usually say "You have lost quiet a bit of weight" I say yes and most everyone knows at my work place that i had the WLS. Do not let it hurt your feelings you know you have lost weight and you are on the right track

Thanks guys, you always help me make sense of things!!  I do feel terrific since I have lost this 30 lbs.  and your right, most people won't bring it up.........I guess they are afraid to!!  Anyways..........I am going to keep on ............ following my program, and I am so happy I do not take any more prescription meds!!  So awesome!!!  -Holly
