Today I was at work, chewing the fat with some coworkers. This one girl took out a massive Hershey bar. As soon as I saw it, I was thinking "oh wow, that looks so yummy!" But my brain was like, "nope, don't do it". I kinda wanted a piece, and finally decided - no! While this thought process was going on in my head. All of a sudden she asks everyone at the table, "would you care for a piece?" While holding out the candy. When she got to me, she goes, "no shazam, you're not getting any!" And moved on. After this had happened, I m thinking, what if I wanted a piece. Either way, it just seemed rude. :(

It was mean and nasty. Talk to her about it if she's a friend. Avoid her in future if she is not.

That's not rude, its evil. It's like "thanks for calling me out as the fat body in the room." I get the same stuff when I go eat with coworkers now. They tell the waitress that I don't need a menu to just bring me green Beans cause I'm on a diet and can't eat anything. I don't need there help remembering that I had WLS, especially in a derogatory type way. Sounds like its time to plot your revenge and get even. Wait, then you'd be stooping to her level. Plot your revenge, work your plan, find someone to blame it on, sit back and enjoy the victory!!!!!

Gowalking, I used to think she was nice. Now I simply avoid her, more so now after that. Yes , I thought it was nasty and so did others.

Thanks! I'd love to plot revenge, but I found it's best to do nothing. I'm better than that. It just does amaze me that individuals are so rude. Like when you're going out to lunch with your coworkers, what is that all about. For me, I'd stop going with them. It's been people like that my whole life that have hurt me. Now that I know who I am, I am trying not to surround myself with them.

At work, there are two different girls whom I thought were friends. One of them is banded, and she doesn't follow a proper diet. And it's no surprise that she met goal, and has gained weight back. Anyhoo, lately since I've lost more and more weight, I've been getting nasty comments. And they both know I had WLS! It's gotten so bad that I'm done! In fact, I just defriended them from my Facebook. I would never have done that in the past.

But I like your thinking though!!! I'd love to do something like that!!!

Sometimes I'm just not that passive. I dont mind dropping down to someones level. My problem is I usually go lower than they did. I'm thinking some mirilax in her morning coffee is in order. Then get a candy bowl, fill it, set it on her desk, then sit back and watch as her own temptations get the best of her and she becomes as wide as a Buick.

I've got the nerve. Send me your office address and I'll sign her up for the Cupcake of the Week club. They'll ship it right to her desk. Might even throw in a few Krispy Kreme treats occasionally. Laced with mirilax of course

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
