I am also getting a lot more comments lately "are you loosing weight", "you are looking really good" ect. Not a a lot of them but more than what I was getting. Pretty much no one noticed my weight loss until I hit about 22-25lbs lost. Which I am fine with because I didn't tell anyone about my choice to be banded, I told some people I was having surgery because there was no way around it. I told them I was having a hiatal hernia repaired. So in my eyes the further out they notice the weight loss, the farther that is from when I had surgery and hopefully that makes it harder to put two and two together you know?? If I had had gastric they would have all known whether I told them or not. Did you all tell people about your surgery? If you did, do you regret it? I imagine that someday I will tell some people.

I am a teller-The only time I do not is if I really don't know the person. This sometimes gets awkward at meals out. If I am eating with a colleague at work whom i barely know I break the band rules and eat soup so at least I can eat a somewhat normal amount of food. Otherwise 1/2 cup is a tiny amount of food compared to what other people eat and it is noticeable (I cannot tell you the number of times I have had waters and waitresses ask me if my food was OK).

Sometimes those darn scales can be our best and worst enemies. Looks like you have it sussed though.. you probably are building muscle considering how much you are exercising. Well done xx
I only told a few people at first. Gradually I have told others and still not everyone knows. As time goes on I am not so protective of the information but there are some people who may never know. I just didn't want it to be public info if you know what I mean. Hang in there, next week you'll drop a bunch of weight.
I also told a few people that I was having a hernia repaired. Haha! Just the people I had to tell like the babysitter and work. I feel the same way about weight loss starting further out so that people dont figure it out. I didnt even tell my mother or anyone except for my husband and the friends I met online who are also banded. I threatened my husband with his life if he ever spoke of it to anyone. My body, my band, my business! =0P I dont think I will ever tell anyone else.
I'm a "teller" too for the most part, but there are lots of people who don't know.
