How are you doing?

I had surgery 6/5/18 and I'm over being asked how I am doing. I know everyone is asking out of concern and I do appreciate it, but at the same time I don't want to be asked anymore.. FB, in person, in a text. Every day.. if I'm at Walmart I see someone and they will ask.. last night went to a picnic with my nieces through their church and had 3 people ask, then posted the pics to fb and on that post someone asked me.. does it ever stop? Now I just say I'm doing good and still losing and end it there. I even made a fb post to update everyone because people were asking my husband at work, which stops him from work.. I'm not a center of attention person, so I hate when the conversations turn into how I'm doing.. please tell me it ends soon.. and again I am not at all saying I don't mind the concern, just wondering if it ever stops

    Look them in the eye and just start screaming. Don't stop screaming. As they back away don't break eye contact. The questions will stop then.

  • Yeah... it won't stop for a while... I mean, until you are like the same size for a long time while. I typically just say "good" and move on.
