So I am one month out and have lost 29 lbs so far which I'm really happy about! I went to panera yesterday and ordered a Soup. When sake what side I wanted I said no side. So I went over to pick up my food and the guy says are you sure you don't want a side. I said yes I'd just throw it out anyway and that would be a waste. He said why? I said bc I had weight loss surgery. I'm not ashamed of it at all. Then he says to me I'm sorry to hear that. Wait, what????? I just left but I should've said it's the best thing I have ever done for myself!!! I'm so mad that I'm letting this bother me and the fact that I should've said I wasn't sorry at all!!!!! Sorry just venting!

People who have either not had a weight problem, or have yet to come to terms with it if the do, cannot understand. Weight loss surgery is not a failure, it is someone taking real control over an issue they have not controlled before. But it is still very much socially viewed as a failure or taking the easy way out. ( VERY far from that actually) Don't let his ignorance get you down. He would be the same type to judge you for being overweight probably. Damned if you do and damned if you don't!!!! Just Celebrate YOUR victory and let him go back to peddling his starchy shame....LOL

I also think he was only semi cordially listening ans just heard surgery and not what type. Typical counter help ;)

Agree with MIJourney & AntiBand.

I am not yet used to the strange looks and second guesses I get from waitstaff when I order an appetizer. But I shrug it off because the prevaling mentality in the food service industry is get what you pay for. I wouldn't take it personally. Be psyched about your success so far!!

I'm open about my surgery with people that matter but I would never have explained my "no sides" order with the staff. "Yes, I'm sure" would have been my only response. Of course, I don't think I need to be questioned about my order. I think I'm smart enough to know what I want and expect the waiters to just follow my instruction. I don't think he meant anything bad by it though.

He probably meant sorry about pushing the side on you.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
