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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
