Embarrassing Day!!

So I went to pick up my post-op pain meds cause my surgeon wants us to do that beforehand. The pharmacist was explaing them to me and asked if the meds were "for after I had the baby". I laughed it off but was kinda embarrassed. LOL!! More reason to have this surgery!!!

I had a little girl at my daughters preschool come up to me and say "there's a baby in your tummy". I guess when you wear fat babydoll tops that look like maternity clothes you get that...I laughed it off too. What can you say to a child? They just say it like it is! :-)

Congrats on your sleeve date! YAY! I am a second grade teacher and a few times the kids would ask me if I was having a baby because of my big stomach. I know how you feel. You are going to love the sleeve! Now instead of comments like those you will soon be having people say how great you look! ;)

I have definitely had many "congratulations" on the pregnancy. I just laugh it off, and say that i would rather people think that I am pregnant, than just fat. LOL

Oh goodness, I probably would have absolutely died of embarassment. So glad you were able to laugh it off!

I was in Lane Bryant (of all places) and the sales lady was like, "when are you due honey? You look like you're going to pop!" And that wasn't even me at my heaviest! I was so embarassed and wanted to cry! I just went along with it and said in two months! So I know how you feel. Like Helen the cat said "soon nobody will make that mistake"! Yay!

Seriously? Wow, I can't believe someone at Lane Bryant would do that! You would think they would be more sensitive.
