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:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
