Boundaries! Get out my damn plate!

Okay so I been wanting to get this crap off of my chest for a few weeks. Why is it that people who know you've had surgery are so OBSESSED with what and how much you are eating?!?!? Example, a co worker of mine knows (along with the rest of the building) that I've been sleeved. Last week I was headed out to get lunch and she asked me if I wanted leftover soup from a meeting she hosted. Sure, I took the soup, who wouldn't take that over going out into -9 degree weather to get some food? After all, eating is NOT fun anymore. I eat because I have to avoid this pest called "starvation". At any rate, we have a monthly building meeting where lunch is provided and yesterday was the time for that meeting. What did they have? Chicken Enchiladas, Refried beans, lettuce rice and all the fixings. I had already purposed in my mind that I would have beans with a little sour cream and a small piece of enchilada. Well, as I am standing in line she sashays her nosey a** over to me and says "I have more soup if you want it" ARGGHHH! If looks could kill she would have fell over dead. I am 35 years old, I can manage my own plate. I looked at her and said "I don't want any soup!!" and no I didn't say it nicely because this same lady is ALWAYS inquiring about my eating!!!! She turned beet red! I was so pissed! I am quite CAPABALE of having a meal! I CAN eat regular food! I get sick of her and people like her monitoring my plate! They dont know how much we struggle and how slow we must eat or what we can eat or anything else about being sleeved. I am sick and tired of all these butt nuggets in my office to be quite frank..... they need to MIND THIER OWN BUSINESS!!! That is all.... thanks for reading. I am now accepting suggestions for snarky, snide comments that will be reapeated :) lol

  • Loved your post! By the looks of it you don't need any help defending yourself. Some suggestions: I can't eat finger food, I'm so hungry I might bite them off. Thanks for your concern about my e

  • Love it!! When people know about the surgery, they somehow think that we need their advice (and everyone else's). I have a friend who I told that I am going to get VSG. She started selling Herbal
