JIFuentes927 11 Posted August 17, 2012 Hey guys....so I was banded July 10, 2012 and am post op a moth and a week. I am down 35 lbs so far. So I went back to work today after being out a month and someone said "hey there skinny" and another person said "flaca" which in spanish is skinny. I was sooooo stoked! LOL thats something I have never been called! I can wait to get down to 100lbs down. Thx for listening...xoxo 9 clarks4willie, running_scared, BeeBlueHeron and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandman27959 38 Posted August 17, 2012 That's so cool! Glad to hear it's working out. I learned a little something about myself when this started happening to me. I had to learn how to graciously take a compliment about my appearance! This is the good stuff. Enjoy it. D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I appreciated the compliments it felt alittle weird at the same time. I think i have to learn how to take a compliment as well. Thanks for your words. :-) Jess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
