What Y'all Think-V



Recommended Posts

Earlier this week I had something happen that made me think. I decided that I would try Subway for the first time post op. I knew two things going in 1) just get a six inch , as if I could finish even that, and 2) get a Soup as a side, I have learned that chips are my downfall. In an attempt to lessen the carb load I got flat bread. I walked in and I place my order for a six inch veggie max sandwich. The sandwich artist, as I think they are called, asked me if I wanted another sandwich. I said no and then he asked again and I gave him the same answer. Now this individual did not ask anyone else in line if they wanted additional sandwiches, so I came to the conclusion that perhaps it is because of my size. I am 70lbs down, but I know I am still heavy. Some may say do not take it that way. I can see that, but just stick with if for nothing else the topic of this post. By the way, before I get "those" type of post. I was not distraught over the situation. I know what I am doing to be a better me. It does not matter what a stranger my think or perceive.

Have you had a situation like the above happen to you? Did it make you want to scream, "Hey, I am doing something about my problem!"? How did you handle it?

No, I don't think I have ever been aware of being singled out like that.

I do know that food service people, fast food people are required to upsell people. Would you like fries with that? Would you like to make it a meal with a drink and chips? and my all time favorite is when I used to order a Diet Coke and a salad and they would ask, would you like a hot apple pie with that?

By the way, where was your Protein? When I have eaten at someplace like Subway, I just get the insides of the sandwich. I usually go for the tuna salad and cheese in a cup and then get them to load up on toppings in a cup.

On the veggie max comes a soy Protein patty

@@Inner Surfer Girl The tuna in a cup sounds great! I have only done Subway once, and I got a chopped salad... but the cup idea sounds ideal for us.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
