Weightloss - New YOU! What's the best compliment that you've gotten so far?



Recommended Posts

This is a POSITIVE POST! What is the best compliment that you have received thus far?

- I was in the gym preparing for a 4 mile run on the treadmill. A gentlemen can to begin his workout next to me. He looked at me and "smiled and said hello". I smiled back, and stated my hello. Then he said something to me, and I could not hear him. So, I removed my earphones and said "excuse me?". He repeated himself and staid "IT'S GOOD LOOKING AT YOU TOO". And I was like, uhhhh ok....thanks...lol

I'm taking it that he meant, I looked good! Though I had never seen this man before, it was a nice compliment that he gave me in a quick 5mins before his workout....heheehe

What is the best compliment that you have received so far since getting your VSG?

Sleeve2B that is so fun! I love all the funny comments about clothes being too big. i was shopping when my friend who i didn't know was they ran up behind me and yelled PULL UP THOSE PANTS YOUNG LADY, YOU HAVE A CASE OF DIAPER BUTT!!! (where your pants sag like a diaper)

as far as compliments, a guy at work told me "i like the way your curves are coming out lately" its nice to not be a big fat blob :)

I went to the gym and the front desk asked to take another membership pic. I asked her why she said " You are melting away"

I'm lucky to have such a supporting work crew. Not one day goes by that someone doesn't comment.

I was at my desk and our general manager walks in and goes right past me. He asks my boss if I'm in today. I said I'm right here and he reply sorry I didn't see you. I laughed and said wait 6 months and I'll be non existent. He took it as a joke but I'm hoping I get an offer with better pay when I'm smaller! Lol

My therapist, who I have seen every week for almost 2 years,looked at me and walked right past me in the waiting room. I was looking at him and he finally recognized me! He said I looked so different that he didn't realize it was me. I see him EVERY week!! I guess I must have done some big changing over that one week.....

Living the dream!!,

  • When the office told me I had to take a new ID picture.
  • Being called tiny (which I'm not, but it made me feel good)
  • One guy at the office called me "the incredible shrinking woman"
  • And when my husband calls me his "skinny wife".

It was before my youngest daughter's soccer game and I was talking to the coach when he stopped mid-sentence and said, "You know, you look REALLY young today!" I think I smiled all evening!! :biggrin5:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
