How are you doing?



Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

The screaming technique sounds like a solid plan.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
