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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
