female only Awkward moment

[PhatGurl80 26]

Yes, so awkward! But better someone blurting out, "how did you lose all that weight?!" rather than, "wow! You've gained a lot of weight!". My great grandma (in her upper 80's) never fails to mention EACH AND EVERYTIME she sees me how fat I am. lol. She's so cute when she says it though...in her weeble little voice, "girl, you just so fat...look at those fat legs..." lol. Love her to death, but I would love for her to say the opposite. "Girl, you just so skinny, look at those skinny legs!". Hopefully she will get to see me some time after the sugergy and my dreams will finally come true!

But seriously, I think the whole WLS is a private decision and shouldn't be shared unless you want to. I, myself, have been conditioning my co-workers to know that I am "on a diet" and have started making Protein shakes in the breakroom at work during my pre-op dieting JUST so it won't be so strange that I eat very little AFTER my surgery. Yes, I know that's a lot of prep, but I'd rather not have anybody put me in an awkward situation like the one above. At least when they see i'm only drinking shakes and sipping on Water, they'll kind of already have an answer on their own for whatever questions they have in their heads lol. My way may not be the best way for everybody, but it works for me!

Good luck everyone w/ your experiences!
