1Cor2:9 193 Posted March 12, 2016 Earlier this week I had something happen that made me think. I decided that I would try Subway for the first time post op. I knew two things going in 1) just get a six inch , as if I could finish even that, and 2) get a Soup as a side, I have learned that chips are my downfall. In an attempt to lessen the carb load I got flat bread. I walked in and I place my order for a six inch veggie max sandwich. The sandwich artist, as I think they are called, asked me if I wanted another sandwich. I said no and then he asked again and I gave him the same answer. Now this individual did not ask anyone else in line if they wanted additional sandwiches, so I came to the conclusion that perhaps it is because of my size. I am 70lbs down, but I know I am still heavy. Some may say do not take it that way. I can see that, but just stick with if for nothing else the topic of this post. By the way, before I get "those" type of post. I was not distraught over the situation. I know what I am doing to be a better me. It does not matter what a stranger my think or perceive. Have you had a situation like the above happen to you? Did it make you want to scream, "Hey, I am doing something about my problem!"? How did you handle it?

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted March 12, 2016 No, I don't think I have ever been aware of being singled out like that. I do know that food service people, fast food people are required to upsell people. Would you like fries with that? Would you like to make it a meal with a drink and chips? and my all time favorite is when I used to order a Diet Coke and a salad and they would ask, would you like a hot apple pie with that? By the way, where was your Protein? When I have eaten at someplace like Subway, I just get the insides of the sandwich. I usually go for the tuna salad and cheese in a cup and then get them to load up on toppings in a cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liannatx 897 Posted March 12, 2016 @@Inner Surfer Girl The tuna in a cup sounds great! I have only done Subway once, and I got a chopped salad... but the cup idea sounds ideal for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
