Candyfied



Recommended Posts

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.

Um, I think I love you! Haha. That's a great idea, I just don't know if I have the nerve!! :)

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

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.
