What’s the Most Awkward Part of WLS?

[Cari Dickenson 148]

Good point lots of us girls have bat wings.... its a crazy amazing emotional ride for sure I am so close to goal... and wonder if I am gonna keep losing I feel tiny... and am having some issues with not seeing myself as I am like today I pulled out a pair of 16 shorts my daughter in law had given me and I'm like no way they gonna fit.... yup the did and were too big LOL I needed a belt..I need to figure out how to get my actual size through my head I was fat for 23 yrs... God I wish I had done it sooner..I am open with it and bring my scale when we go out to eat and ask for my iced tea to go cos I can't eat and drink together... though I hear eventually I might be able to I was told not to so still following the rules.. .it's been a lil rough since I moved out of state in March and left my bari doc and I adored her so that part sucks a lot... Gotta find a nut here in this tiny lil town... Got my doc keeping an eye on my levels but ready to start learning how to maintain and need help for that...

I haven't had wls yet but I meet with the surgeon at the end of this month. I'm looking forward to all the awkward comments and experiences that come my way! Honestly, I'll just be happy when random people or people who I used to know when I was thinner stop asking me if I'm pregnant or when I'm due. I'm not pregnant. Just fat!

An old cheerleading teammate from high school saw me at Home Depot a couple of months ago and he was like "Wow, you are super pregnant!" And my response was "No, I'm not" to which he felt bad and said "oh, well you look great" LOL nice try, bro b

I had my surgery done August 4th. The day after my surgery, I was doing looking for a pair of shorts to put on. My hospital gown was awkward and sometimes it wouldn't cover my backside all the way. Well, I wasn't wearing pants or underwear while I was trying to find my shorts. I was turned around with my butt flashing, right as my male surgeon walked into the room. I was so embarrassed! But he didn't act shocked or anything. I guess he's used to seeing butts? Haha!
