I was just going down to the cafeteria at work to get some more ice for my ice Water when this girl who works down the hallway (i've never even talked to her) stopped me and said I just wanted to tell you that you look really good. You've always been a pretty girl but you can really tell you've lost weight. I'm still speechless. It was so nice to hear a compliment like that from a complete stranger.

What was your best compliment you've received so far?

Way to go!

It is great to hear from strangers! My best compliment is similar and I posted the other day about it! It was from a security guard in my office lobby, who called me over and said "I've been watching you...you are looking great!"

Keep up your good work!:thumbup:

My best compliment came from my husband. The other day he was folding my jeans and he said "You know, everytime I pick these up the first thought through my head is who do these belong to. They're so small."

Oh shoot! I remember your post now. Sorry. I was just so happy that I didn't even think to look for a similar post!

That is such an awesome feeling.

Doesn't it amaze yourself how small your pants are? I've dropped shirt wise from a 26/28 to a 18/20. I put on a 22/24 the other day and it was way too big.

I wish my pants size would fall. I was a 26/28 now i'm a 24. I just wish it would catch up to my top!

My best compliment came from a cashier at a store. I used a credit card and she asked for ID. I gave her my driver's license, she looked at it and looked at me and said this can't be you... you aren't even half that size !

I was at the gym and a lady came over to me and said that we joined the gym at the same time and that I was doing really well and she could tell a difference in me.

My best compliment was from my favorite manager at my local Lane Bryant. Since I have lost weight, I have more clothing selections at other places so she does not see me as much. I had gone in one day & she was there. She was totally shocked and then asked me "are you trying to leave us?". I told her he-- yeah!!

When my husband sorts the laundry I end up missing half my clothes, I end up finding them in my teenager's things!

Just a few days ago a friend came over to go out to dinner with my husband and I. He was checking something on his phone as he walked up and I saw him do a double-take. I just thought it was a simple realization that I was standing there on the porch.

Later in the evening he said I was looking REALLY good, and that when he walked up, he didn't recognize me at first. :thumbup:

Mine was probably when I saw my dad for the first time a few weeks ago since my surgery in December. He CRIED. He is not the type ot show emotion and he cried because he was so proud of me for doing this.

Another was when I saw my best friend for the first time in over a year and a half. She just stood back and said "OMG YOU LOOK AMAZING!!"

      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.
