I got complimented!

This afternoon my friend and her hubby came over and I hadn't seen him in forever. He came in and was like, WOW, who are u and where did Angela go? I know he knew me and he was just teasing but it still made me feel good. I have lost 107 pounds and wish I could see it more. I know as time goes on I will see it more and more....My hubby also told me this afternoon while he was feeling "loveable" that I was getting a nice, round booty (those weren't his words, lol, but I figured it would be TMI if I repeated what he said) I assumed this was a compliment too. My hubby has said since surgery though that its like being in bed with a different woman every week, lol. I am so happy I had surgery! I can't wait to see what other blessings the future holds!

Angela, It is so funny that you said that about your husband. Mine keeps telling me and everyone else he feels like he is cheating on his wife...lol. Says he is so amazed at all the bones he feels when he puts his arm around me at night. Acually misses the cushioning a little, so I fixed it snd put a pillow there! I really don't see it much in myself either, even when I look in the mirror or my reflection but I do feel like a new person and I guess that is what it's all about. Congratulations and be proud of yourself you look wonderful! Jean

Isn't it just wonderful to get a compliment that isn't, "she's so funny" or "she has such a pretty face"? I ran into someone I haven't see since before the surgery and he jumped backward and threw his arms up when he FINALLY realized who I was! I know what you mean about not realizing what you've lost. I was at a friends pool party in August. I went to go inside from the deck and someone was coming out the sliding glass door at the same time-so I stepped back to let her come out. IT WAS MY REFLECTION! I did one of those, look around real quick and make sure no one saw me things. But then I proceeded to tell everyone what I had done...go figure. Good luck with everything!

You are too funny!! LOL Congrats on the compliments!! What a great feeling!! Keep up the good work!! Trisha

Angela, Doesn't it feel wonderful!!! My husband calls me his trophy wife (TW) for short. All the compliments are wonderful, a real morale booster. I too can't see the weight loss yet, still feel fat. In a digital camera picture last Saturday I did see the weight loss for the first time. How amazed I was, but when I look at myself in the mirror I still don't see it,weird huh! Enjoy the journey ahead if you!!! Lynn Lap RNY 3/30/05 254/170/150? -84 size 20before/12now
