Starting To Get Noticed.....the Good And The Bad..



Recommended Posts

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. :)

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
