Strange thing I say... (How about you?)



Recommended Posts

Ok, here's some funny things I've found myself saying....

"When I was fat..." LOL. I use that mostly to distinguish time. For instance, if someone I talking about a particular food or restaurant that I no longer eat, I'll be like, "yeah, I used to like that when I was fat." ... To an outsider this probably sounds totally ridiculous & a little rude. LOL

"No thanks, I don't drink".... So at nearly 2 years out, I still follow the rule of not drinking while eating. The other day I was at a restaurant where the waitress tried pouring me a glass of Water, and I said "No thanks, I don't drink" -- meaning while I eat, but I didn't exactly finish the thought. So she stood there with a strange look on her face. LOL

"I paid a lot not to eat this" ... This is a bit of an inside joke with my husband. When someone asks "that's all you're going to eat?" I reply, "I paid a lot not to eat this" -) meaning the cost of surgery. )

What are some funny things you've found yourself saying???

Hope everyone is well! :)

"I'm starving." Two bites. "I'm stuffed."

People who don't know about my surgery probably think I'm insane.

Yep. All the time. Lol

I act as though I can eat a horse.

A selection of quotes I've actually said that are indeed strange:

"No, they did not remove my entire stomach. Just most of it."

"No, I didn't have the bypass. I had the less complicated weight loss surgery." As if I could perform it myself or something.

"No, I'm not starving. I feel great!"

"I disagree. I eat more than a squirrel."

"Yes, I used to be quite large." Takes out driver's license to prove it. Why would someone lie about being fat?

food arrives at the table. "Can I get a to-go box, please?"

"Yes, I really am full. I know I'm taking most of it to go."

"No, I didn't just eat before coming to the restaurant."

"Yes, bowel movements still work the same way."

"Yes, I miss my manboobs."

OK, the last one I never said.

Look you need to figure out why you feel this way. This is the hard part. But only you can figure this out. In the meantime, go back to square one, and follow the rules.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
