Finally got called into work today. I was nervous and excited, I have not seen anyone since the day before my surgery.
Lots of comments on how good I look, I could see everyone giving me the once over. It was funny how the ones you thought would comment, said nothing, and the last person I thought would say something gave me the nicest comments.
One co worker said I looked good and said "you must have a boyfriend" I said nope, and she said "do you want one?". I said "yup" lol
What was even better my knees and feet do not hurt like they use to. I also am at my 2nd stall, I think going back to work will shake it off.
Great day

So awesome to hear.

It is truly amazing how our feet suffered.  Just remember to drink lots at work(and pee)!!

Funny re: how least expected person gives nice comments!

That is so great your knees aren't hurting like they used to as well!

My neighbor told me the other day (she has a knee injury) that her doctor told her for every extra pound we carry puts an extra 3 pounds of pressure on you knee when you walk...wow that is alot of extra pressure!

I'm so happy that you had such a great first day back! It's a great feeling to hear those nice comments. I am looking forward to relieving the pressure on my legs and feet too. It'd be nice to toss some of these pain killers.

It only gets better!  Not a day goes by that I receive multiple compliments on my weight loss.  After a while when most of the stress is off the knees and feet you suddenly feel "bouncy".  I am like Tigger!  LOL.  Anyway, good on you for your first day back!

Yay...great to hear you had a great day! And any guy would be LUCKY to have you...at any weight!
I am really looking forward to going back to work after a month off and surprising everyone with a change...but I couldn't imagine going back after several months! That must have been exciting.
I hope to see you at the Meet and Greet!

What an awesome feeling for people to notice and receive nice comments.  I'm sure men will be knocking at your door and would be lucky to be with such a wonderful person.
