Bad Day



Recommended Posts

I am still feeling great and I went back to work on Thursday with no problems, except I was tired when I got home after 12 hours.

I didn't tell anyone at work I was having this done. If fact, I harldy told anyone at all (only 2 people + husband).

This afternoon I had an employee in my office and as she was getting ready to go she asked "did you get your stomach stapled?" I can't even imagine the look on my face. I said no, why would you ask that? She said "because you look like you have lost lots of weight," then she put her hand on her cheek and said "your face."

What do you say?

How about, "Well, I'm really working on losing weight but I was kinda hoping it would be in my ASS."

tee hee...

(BUt sheesh! She's probably one of those types that ask fat women if they're pregnant!)

OMG Kare,

I love you sense of humor. I lost it in my face too. I can't see my butt so I don't know what is going on back there. No one has asked me to apply blinker or brake lights to it yet!!!

why is this a bad day? It sounds like an NSV to me!

I don't know how much you've lost, your sig doesn't state it. But if you've lost a significant amount of weight really fast, you will probably have dramatic results in your face. This is one of the first things that many people notice in many of the RNY people.

and yes, 12 hour day when you first get back to work is a little much.

Thanks all, coming here always makes me feel so much better. I have been sleeping so much today.

Kare, if I hadn't been taken by such surprise and had been thinking better I would have probably said something to that effect.

Vines, I have only been banded 9 days and I have no idea how much weight I have lost. There are two places where is is showing though, first it was in my waist, and then in my face. I think I may be loosing in my bust too, but I haven't measured just basing on my bras fitting differently today.

I don't know why I took it badly. I usually just let things go. I don't think I was prepared for anyone to notice anything this quickly. That combined with being very tired Friday afternoon probably has lots to do with it. Monday will be better. I am glad I went back to work mid-week so I didn't have a full week before the weekend.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
