What I have seen since surgery!!!!!
What I have seen
The other day I was standing in line to pay for my breakfast at work I was getting oatmeal. Anyway across from me there was this guy and he was up at the register weighing in his breakfast(that is how they price it) well he was overweight (not needing wls) Well don't you know this skinny minny standing next to him YELLSS (Loud enough for everyone to turn and look) she says MAN that is a lot what are you on the atkens diet!!! You can see the look in his eyes how embarressed he was (I think I notice it because I would feel that way) He just looked up and said uh uh yeah I am and then walked away. What he got was one of those soup cups filled with scrabbled eggs. Well, that brought to my attention on how I feel whenever someone mention diet, fat , less calories, weight etc... I would clam up and crindge I hated those questions I guess because the attention was on me. I did not want anyone to say a thing about my weight outside of my norm and family and friends. But to the guy that day I feel ya man!!
Tip: use your doctors waiting room as a tool to see how much you really lost. (does not have to be your surgeon) I see a counsler every week to two weeks and when I began there I use to site on the edge of the chair cause I could not fit. Well every time I go I sit in the same chair and Yep I am getting smaller I now can sit back and do not feel like I am getting smushed. LOL cant wait till I can stop feeling the arms of the chair.
