How to deal with insensitive people?

Hi everbody, I am 17 mos post op with a weightloss close to 200#. Obviously this is a dramatic physical change and stuns alot of people I haven't seen in a while. My problem is that I have just about had it with people that I don't know asking me how much weight I have lost. This isn't a rare thing. This is a daily thing! I don't care if close friends or family ask or even potential WLS patients, but people like the gas station clerk or somebody that just happens to see me around town is what I take offense to. Its also the same at work. Does anyone else go through this? Are they as annoyed as I am? I am not about to admitt to my skinny coworkers or strangers that I've lost 200#, yikes that's a whole other overweight person LOL I am also getting asked very personal questions about excess skin. That always dumbfounds me, especially because you can't really tell when I am fully clothed. Any advice? Or least some good comebacks?
