Best and worst "compliments"



Recommended Posts

Said about me to a friend at her office after I had stopped in:

"If I was the director, I'd hire him and keep him around the office doing stuff just so I could look at him!"

My best compliment "Holy ****.... you are hot!"

This was from a male colleague / coworker I have known for many years but since we didn't work at the same location he hadn't seen me since I was over 300#. He was very embarrased as it was not an appropriate thing to say in a work setting... but i loved it. :)

I can't really think of a bad one....

Blue, that was very rude, but your story did give me a good laugh. Some people really have NO filter!

Today:

Friend I haven't seen in about a year: "Wow, you lost a LOT of weight! When did you lose all that weight?"

Me: "Last week."

Seemed nicer than saying "You haven't seen me in a year - when did you THINK I lost it?!?"

My worse and best compliment when getting scrutinized at the border...in BOTH directions...because I no longer look like my passport picture. I was scared they weren't going to let me cross!

I figure people have seen me gain and lose so many times already' date=' they probably figure they're wasting their breath ;)[/quote']

This is how I feel as well.

I've been complimented on my hair when I had done nothing to it, been told I look much better without my glasses when I don't wear glasses...people can't always put their finger on what has changed.

A male nursing assistant on my unit complimented me on my weight loss but warned me to not lose too much because "a dog won't chase a bone if there's no meat on it". Uh...ok.

Best: my daughter told me she can grasp her wrists behind my back while hugging me. Apparently, she couldn't even touch her hands before! :)

Worst: the extra skin comment...UGH. What the heck do you care what I do with my extra skin?!?!?

Funniest: an elderly lady that comes into work occasionally didn't recognize me at all until I spoke and then she GUSHED for 45 minutes over how fabulous I look now and proceeded to tell me that I need to buy some nighties so my hubby will stay interested in me. Uh, what?

HA HA HA out of the mouths of babes and old people. Neither have a filter!

Bit of a left field comment from a male friend was that my thighs are getting too thin ... for what???? Another guy asked where my butt went... Neither has ever made any comment about me before, so I didn't know they cared lol!

Fav compliment you are so tiny". Not really but i am getting there :-)

My dietician takes the prize for the comment that means the most to me " you are nearly normal" Laughed my head off but knew he was referring to my BMI!!!!

This reminds me when my ex Sig other came from grocery store and said "i was looking around the store and i think you are now normal!"

All I ever wanted was to be normal looking so it was a compliment but funny.

I had a new one (to me) yesterday. I ran into a guy I used to work with and he moved his hands in a kind of hourglass shape and said in his cute British accent, " You're... You... it looks...well, there's less of you, isn't there?"

Yup.

      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.
