Back on track, and surprised...

 During my weight loss people seemed to either overflowing with positive remarks or oddly silent about my weight loss. It finally came to my attention that many people were terribly concerned about my health and didn't want to bring up a sensitive subject. One colleague I seldom see actually started crying when I told her I was on a medically supervised weight loss program and was healthier than I'd been in years. 

A few others that know about mt WLS are so anti WLS they say nothing at all about my WL. I don't let those few bother me. They are all very overweight, so I figure there are some deep rooted feelings about themselves intertwined with my WL. 

Hey, it's your journey. If you're pleased and are happy with your changes then that is cause for celebration!

I saw someone that I hadn't seen in years.  He was gaunt and thin and I wondered why nobody had told me he was ill.  When I mentioned it to a mutual friend she said he'd lost weight on purpose and was running again.  I was so relieved!

You've done an amazing job. We all know this isn't "easy" but we're doing it, and those who don't understand... well, that's their load to carry.
