I ran into someone that I haven't seen in over a year. And she was like girl I didn't even recognize you not being fat! I was like really? All I can do to not be ugly. Yes I was fat, yes I've lost 115 lbs. get over it! Lol.

@@Bobby46 -- We have almost the same stats - I was sleeved on Aug 31 and down 60 lbs. Also short, like you, and I don't even recognize myself sometimes! Is she out of her mind? If you have an HR department, that is worth reporting. Of course that's easy for me to say, I don't know your work situation, but I am outraged on your behalf

After being on these boards a few months, I can honestly say that @@LipstickLady said it best when she said to reply to any of these brain donors and say "I know you didn't mean that to sound as b1tchy as it did".

I got a lot of people who were rude enough to say you lost some weight are you sick or something? Very mean and hurtful. just because some loses weight doesn't mean they are sick.

I actually had my first experience with this today. Someone I hadn't seen in a year. She asked me how I did it kind of tentatively and I answered and she said "oh thank goodness I was worried you were sick or something". I didn't mind her concern a bit... But that was probably different than how you've experienced it.

@@jess9395 I think mines was a bit different. It made me think do I look sick did I lose too much

MeAndTinyTina I have known my boss for about 5 yrs now. She is about 13yrs younger than me. I just marked it up as ignorance on her part. I am just glad I only have to really deal with her....other than email and instant messaging for work purposes.....during those luncheons. She has battled her weight as well. I think she is just one of those people that think you will be skinny the moment you leave surgery. One of those that think surgery is a magic trick that makes you instantly skinny.

Like I said I'm sure yours was different. I do try very hard though to not read my own issues and insecurities in what others say.

"At least you have a beautiful face "

Their comment: "man, surgery to lose weight, that's pretty extreme"

My reply: "yeah but dying early is more extreme"
