That happened to my sister-in-law once. When she told him she wasn't pregnant, the guy actually argued with her!! I guess that's a benefit to being 50. Nobody jumps to that conclusion anymore! But just think how temporary this situation is for you now!!

Devils advocate - maybe the way your clothes fit now that you've lost weight makes it appear like you are pregnant. I had super baggy scrubs in June, and when a patient made a comment about "whoa, you have twins in there?!", I figured it was time to get some new ones.

I bought my wife some tiny clothes today, she's lost 110 pounds. Pants were 4's, shirts were extra smalls. Before nothing looked good on her as far as she was concerned, now everything looks good. She's easy on the eyes, hard on the billfold. :huh: That big smile melts me down.

I gotta say it's fun, though. ;)

I almost broke down today after someone asked me when I was due. I was sleeved on May 31' date=' 2013 and went from 267 to 223 that 44 pounds lost and I still look pregnant. I work so hard at the gym and eat the right stuff. It just made me feel worthless like all my hard out isn't paying off. I already consider my self a slower loser that just made it worse.

Sorry I needed to vent and cry.[/quote']

Don't worry about them. You are doing so awesome!!! Keep it up. Make yourself happy!

Hopefully there won't be a next time' date=' but if there is, just tell them that you gave birth "yesterday" to a 10 pound brown baby and you had it in the toilet. That happened to me when I was 80lbs heavier, so I know how you feel, although I was more embarrassed for the lady that asked because she turned a bright shade of red when I told her that I gave birth to him 5 years ago! LOL

Chin up, you are BEAUTIFUL!!! :)[/quote']

Lmao. Love it!

Happened to me too once. There are several ways to deal with this - you can be super-b*tchy, grab them in fake desperation and say "No, it's a terrible tumour and I'm yet to find out if its benign or malignant", tell them you overdid the bran flakes at Breakfast but you're expecting it all to "pass" soon, or politely point them in the direction of the nearest optometrist.

They didn't mean to hurt you of course, but it would be very nice of you to teach them some manners. On that note looking shocked, opening and closing your mouth a few times and then running away sobbing can be quite effective.

I agree with all that everyone else says here - your weight loss pace is good, you've taken control of the situation and you will - in not too long a time - have it all sorted. So why not just gloat inwardly, knowing the next time she sees you, you're going to knock her socks off.

Good luck with it all.

      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.
