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.

      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.
