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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
