"Do you get nice compliments?



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I went to my mother in laws wedding and my SIL came up to me and said "wow I have been sitting here trying to figure out who my brother brought with him because I did not recognize you"

I have to admit it felt pretty good.

I lived in the same community for 13 years, then moved and had the surgery. I just moved back again after eighteen months away, 97 pounds lighter. Of course I just walk up to old acquaintances when I see them and say "Hi", forgetting that I don't look the same and it's been a long time. I have gotten some pretty confused looks! I have received a lot of amazed compliments after I reminded them who they were talking to! I also got a wonderful compliment from my primary care doc when I went in for a physical. He said I look beautiful, that my skin is bouncing back wonderfully, and then gave me a big hug.

About a week ago I went to my inlaws house and when we walked into the living room my FIL said to me "My you sure are pretty today". He has never said that or anything remotely resembling a compliment like that. I was totally shocked, it made me feel really good and so I just told him, "well you just made me feel really pretty, thank you"! That was by far the nicest compliment I have gotten, I think because it was so totally out of the norm.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
