Weirdest coments you've gotten since WLS



Recommended Posts

The other day my girl friends and I went to a bar/restaurant and they ordered drinks upon entering. I said, "nothing for me". Later she brought us our menus and their drinks. The waitress didn't say anything then, but eventually said "So why aren't we drinking anything? Why aren't you hydrating? Fluids are friends!" I told her I don't eat and drink at the same time. It seemed to suffice her curiosity. But it made me think that there has to be some weird stuff people have heard!

I had a family member ask to see my incisions (this person was neither a child or someone qualified to judge how I was healing). Otherwise it hasn't really come up and I've only told a small number of people and everything else has been explained as "I'm on a diet."

My brothers wanted to see my loose belly and arm skin over Easter...to tease me about it. We're in our 40's/50's. My family has a very twisted self deprecating sense of humor, and a couple of them work in health care. (and yes, I showed them...just to make them flee in horror..lol) Have to say though, one of them said....that's not too bad! And told me I didn't need plastic surgery. Which I took as an extremely odd.....could only happen in my family....compliment.

I’m nine months post-op tomorrow. Someone called me “tiny” today. First time I’ve been called that in a non-ironic way! Very strange to hear and difficult to comprehend.

Are you fat or are you just tall? Are you sick or losing weight? Gosh your hair is red! You Are a woman , aren't you? Gosh it is You, I thought you were dead!,

There's something strange about

Answers

1 Both ,thank you very much. Are you smart-Aleck or do you just don't care?

2. No sicker than usual for our age, I am however losing weight.

3 No same color it's been since I was 12, more or less. You've known me for 50+ years, don't tell me you've forgotten.

4. My late husband and doctor said I am, who am I to argue with such intelligent men?

5 No I'm still alive, were you worried you' d missed my obituary and funeral?

6. Nope no stranger then usual, how about you for asking?

And the day isn't over yet![emoji85][emoji87][emoji86] And alas I am still pre surgery, think how my Job's Comforters will circle around when it's finally done![emoji37][emoji37]

I know right ...a few of my family members have called me skinny. I told them they are not allowed to call me skinny, because technically, even if I get to my goal weight of 170 I would still be classified as overweight [emoji23]

Ha! I said the same. Can’t call me skinny until I am a “normal” weight. Darn BMI!

Tealael--' you could have had a whole stable of boy friends, had you really wanted that! You didn't just crawl out of an ugly cage after all! And who wants to become a stripper ? their professional lifetime isn't that long. Girlfriend, you got better things to do with your time

I had a customer ask about how the surgery is done and some of the post-op instructions. She's a psychologist and was curious about the process. When I explained how little I'm allowed to eat at a time, and this was still during the liquid only post-op phase, she says "who was your surgeon, Hitler?"

Disclaimer... she is a very religious Jewish woman, with a very harsh and sarcastic sense of humor.

“Are you eating enough, you look tired” always makes me laugh. I usually say “yes I had weight loss surgery etc” and I get a resounding “oh....*stops talking*” ☺️

      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
