I am 1 month post op and I am hearing from people that other people (at work and amongst other friends) are asking what I'm doing to lose weight because I'm "shrinking"! I had been sitting here after a cold walk feeling sorry for myself because I wanted candy, but when another unsolicited compliment came in from my fiancés best friend, it cheered me up! And he has NO idea about my surgery. Pre-Op W: 262 CW: 236.3

hearing nice unexpected complimentary words is terrific

try not to dwell about things you can't eat

think about how healthy and happy you are becoming

keep up the good work

Thanks so much! I try not to dwell but every once in a while I catch myself. Most if the time I am positive though! Congrats on the 105 you lost and never want to find again!!

Congrats on your great loss! A good compliment can definitely make a craving easier to handle.
