Kids say the darndest things!



Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago when I was picking my 7 year old daughter up from school, she pointed to one of the other moms and said, "see her mom, you look exactly like her and she's not fat"!

Then yesterday, we were shopping, I had my back to her and when I looked up to find her she had a scared look on her face. She said, "oh mom, you're getting so skinny I didnt recognize you"! I think she was looking for me for a few seconds and didn't know it was me right beside her. Poor girl. I scared her. Makes me feel good though!

I've been a little down since the new year because the scale has been moving very slow. But I did start using my new Pilates machine, so I guess the inches are still coming off.

I have to say, this is a far cry from the child, who a year ago, while looking in the mirror asked, "mom, am I gonna look like you when I grow up? I said, "I don't know why? She said, "because mom, I just can't be fat! Broke my heart.

I had this sergury for many reasons, my kids being the main one. Glad to say, i made the right choice.

Awesome story. My daughter tells everyone about my surgery..she is 5. She says my mom is going to have surgery so she can play outside with me more. Kinda makes me feel bad..but at least I am on the right track now. I am gonna make her proud.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
