Coworkers Want To Know What Your Highest Wt Was!



Recommended Posts

Ok..so I get it...I guess I would be curious too! But...I love how one of my coworkers asked how much I had lost ( I'm ok with that) ..then asked whaty goal to lose was and I knew she was adding the numbers in her head to get how much I weigh now!!! Rude! So of course I lied and gave her a bogus number..teehee for me! I could tell by the look on her face that her numbers just didn't add up in her head! Nosey Rosie..that's what you get!! LOL

I have no problem telling anyone who will listen what I weighed, how much I have lost or what my goal is. I hope my being open will help others make the decision to help themselves improve their health and well being.

I am very careful who I am totally truthful with. It's not like they don't have eyes and probably figured out a ball park figure. I am trying to focus on the compliments I am getting with new outfits!!!

I used to be very concerned with what others thought of me, but I try to only focus on the positive now and just shake my head at the negative and not dwell on it. It's just not worth it!!

This is an issue that has come up in my mind quite a bit. I'm only 5 weeks out and haven't decided how to handle this. I ultimately want to lose 150 to 160 pounds. If people ask Mr and I tell them, they will be able to guess with some sense of accuracy that I was around the 300 pound mark give or take. I've never admitted my true weight to anyone in real life but my bff. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with people knowing it. Not that it's any secret I'm fat. One look and you know.

That's great Kimmy! Keeps you on track I'm sure. For me..I am more of a private kind of person! This particular person is a gossip so I felt the need to fudge the numbers around a bit! But my family and hubby know all my stats!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
