Hey all!

Wanted to find out what others have done, thought, or said ( or not) when they have encountered people who hadn't seen them in a while and then say something like....oh! you looks so much prettier...just got that one from one of my patients ( I work at a dental office). This morning I got from someone who works on our equipment ( bear in mind I'm married and he's....I guess you would call it married). Hey your looking a lot cuter....maybe I should start flirting with you too ( he REALLY flirts with another skinny girl that is married and works here. I told him....ahhh thanks,but that isn't gonna get you anywhere....and by the way I was cute when I was heavier too ( jerk off). He didn't say anything.... Anyhoo I've had some really great compliments from many people too. It's just the one's that treated you like trash before and now that your more acceptable they are different to you...makes me want to smack them. Suggestions?

Smacking them is a good idea! Ha ha, but really what you said to the guy working on the machines was good, we are all the same person that we used to be, just with less weight. I look forward to making snide comments to rude people. I am still in the can't yet tell unless you are with me all the time stage. Good luck!

Here are some of the snide comments I have received and my answers to them:

"STOP losing weight! You're getting too skinny!" "NO!!"

"I guess I'm the fat friend in the group now." "You don't have to be any friend in the group now."

"I can see your face now since all that blubber and chub is gone." "Stop paying so much attention to me. Good day."

"I've lost X amount of pounds on my own." "Oh...really? Well I have a little Fairy Godmother who pops out and slaps food out of my hand. I guess I didn't do it on my own..."

"WLS is the easy way out. " "It sure was! You jealous?"

As you can see, I'm a bit sarcastic.

The same idiot at work that told me (Down the hall loudly) that i was getting fat, said the other day: "look at me i'm still skinnier than you and you had surgery" Duh! ya thinks so dufus I just am 9 days out from surgery...

What a jerk -____-

•Highest Weight - 240 •Surgery Weight 8/3 -230 •Current Weight 8/31 -203

People can be so insensitive ( some mean to and other's are just clueless).

"wls is the easy way out ya puss" "well, at least I found a way out, how's the hard way working out for you?"

My favorite one.... "he's lost over 100 pounds?!? I wonder if he's still funny?" "nope, all my funny melted off"

Let me guess his name is d**k! DI CK!

When someone makes a comment like your patient about you looking prettier, then try to take it in the spirit of the comment. They are trying to give you a compliment even if it didn't come out right. Personally, I find myself to be prettier after losing 40lbs, and remember that the patient wasn't saying that you were not pretty before!

For the other guy, he is just an a*****e.

Ya my husband said the same thing...I'm just kinda real sensitive about it...I'm sure he really meant it as a compliment. The other guy IS a loser..in every sense of the word. Well anyway it's friday...yippeee. have a good weekend!
