Well, for the record, I don't look gaunt.

Or gray.

I'm gorgeous and blonde.

Sometimes people do look gaunt. I don't think he was being negative I think he was just stating an observation that he noticed. That's the way I took anyway.

The tone of his voice and the look on his face definitely conveyed negativity.

And the fact that he didn't call me for our lunch date kinda confirms it.

It's okay though, I have nothing invested in this guy. His loss.

I am sorry I can't spin this positive. It's like somebody has their 40 th birthday and you say "sure hope you don't get bald and fat"

With that remark he wasn't being a very "civil" engineer. :)

I don't think he was trying to insult you. It is probably that his mouth was in drive but he was grinding his brain gears.

Too bad for him, you probably look like a different 5 letter word starting with "G" and ending with "T"...GREAT!.

ANYONE who does not get enough daily [Protein and Water will start to look gaunt - sickly, WLS or not.

5 years since surgery, and no one ever knew...never told anyone,\

My weight loss is old news, not many people remember when I was an out of shape fatty.

I too had to stop eating certain foods, but I told people I am changing my ways and starting to eat healthy....so nothing white, and that includes rice.

Im with you, its no bodies business. I never thought about that 5 years down the line people will have forgotten what i looked like prior, lol....

      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.
