Strange thing I say... (How about you?)



Recommended Posts

Ok, here's some funny things I've found myself saying....

"When I was fat..." LOL. I use that mostly to distinguish time. For instance, if someone I talking about a particular food or restaurant that I no longer eat, I'll be like, "yeah, I used to like that when I was fat." ... To an outsider this probably sounds totally ridiculous & a little rude. LOL

"No thanks, I don't drink".... So at nearly 2 years out, I still follow the rule of not drinking while eating. The other day I was at a restaurant where the waitress tried pouring me a glass of Water, and I said "No thanks, I don't drink" -- meaning while I eat, but I didn't exactly finish the thought. So she stood there with a strange look on her face. LOL

"I paid a lot not to eat this" ... This is a bit of an inside joke with my husband. When someone asks "that's all you're going to eat?" I reply, "I paid a lot not to eat this" -) meaning the cost of surgery. )

What are some funny things you've found yourself saying???

Hope everyone is well! :)

"I'm starving." Two bites. "I'm stuffed."

People who don't know about my surgery probably think I'm insane.

Yep. All the time. Lol

I act as though I can eat a horse.

A selection of quotes I've actually said that are indeed strange:

"No, they did not remove my entire stomach. Just most of it."

"No, I didn't have the bypass. I had the less complicated weight loss surgery." As if I could perform it myself or something.

"No, I'm not starving. I feel great!"

"I disagree. I eat more than a squirrel."

"Yes, I used to be quite large." Takes out driver's license to prove it. Why would someone lie about being fat?

food arrives at the table. "Can I get a to-go box, please?"

"Yes, I really am full. I know I'm taking most of it to go."

"No, I didn't just eat before coming to the restaurant."

"Yes, bowel movements still work the same way."

"Yes, I miss my manboobs."

OK, the last one I never said.

Look you need to figure out why you feel this way. This is the hard part. But only you can figure this out. In the meantime, go back to square one, and follow the rules.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
