Best Compliment That You've Gotten Since Your Weightloss Thus Far?

[TheRealMeIsHere! 863]

last week, when I was about 1 month post-op, I went for an appointment with one of my other doctors. The nurse said, "If you don't mind me saying, you don't look big enough to qualify for bariatric surgery."

Nope, I didn't mind at all! I then went on to brag about the 50 lbs. lost before surgery and the 20lbs. after.

Thanks for posting/asking this question

This weekend, my husband when holding onto me, whispered to me that I have changed. He said " honey, you are beautiful and I am proud because you have embraced this new lease on life. He then said..."I hope I can keep up".

I bought my first "woman's t-shirt" from Columbia put it on and my "breast area" was larger than my stomach roll - I had definition!!

When i picked up my 5 year old and he said "Your back doesn't hurt you anymore!" He is refering to the times i used to pick him and i'd have to put him back down cuz of the pain i feel in my lower back.

This might not be a compliment but it sticks to my mind like nothing else and this was one of the main reasons for having VSG. My wife and children are my life.

The best compliment I have gotten is that I have motivated friends to get healthy and have surgery because of how well I'm doing. To me this far exceeds any other compliments I have received.

I think my favourites are;

1: (A male friend, on seeing a new profile pic of me on facebook) "Jesus, Claire - cheek bones!!".

2: (A different friend on seeing me after several months), "You look amazing, did Richard stop feeding you?" - I howeled at that one!

3: (A comment made to my hubby by a colleague) "You can't be married to her! - She is bang tidy!".

And sometimes actions speak louder than words;

4: My husband now picks me up!

5: My clothes keep ending up in with my kid's because they dont look big enough for me.

6: My daughter (who is 8), now begins every card, note, or letter to me with "To my Beautiful Mummy". It still makes me cry every time!

Oh,this is a great thread, and I love my sleeve!!!
