Has anyone said this to you

Hello everyone,
I'd first like to say that this new journey is so so different from the last. Even the weight loss. The last time the weight first began to leave from my tummy and thighs, this time it is leaving from my face and upper body (shoulder area) weird?  Perhaps different procedures bring about different ways that the weight comes off?
 
Anyway to the question... I have had two people say to me in the past week that they are going to "eat like me" to get to the weight that they want to be. Has anyone ever said that to you? how did you handle the remark?

I don't think that the two who said this were being funny, but I do know that they have no idea about the concept of wls.

YES, MY SISTER HAS SAID THAT TO ME AND EVERY TIME I EAT AROUND HER SHE WILL SAY STUFF LIKE THAT BUT I KNOW THAT SHE MEANS IT IN A GOOD WAY. SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE THIN ONE AND SINCE I'VE HAD WLS SHE HAS BEEN HITTING THE GYM HARD, I GUESS SHE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT I DON'T GET SMALLER THAN HER.

Hi Lisa,
lol I guess that the party will be over soon.

No one has said that to me but an ill informed physical trainer said if I eat like I had gastric bypass I would lose the same way as if I did do it.  Silly rabbit,lol.

LoL ... I haven't had that exact comment, but there are 2 women at my job that have noticed that I am losing weight, well they noticed me drinking protein and are now drinking it ... I find that very interesting, so I guess people will attempt to mimick our eating habits because there are seing results, so I think it's a compliment.  I didn't really say anything, just noticed and keep it to myself.

Hi Happy,
are the two women aware that you have had wls? That's funny and you know WHY they are drinking it.

No they have not had wls, they dont know that I have had wls, so they dont know why I drink protein either.  It is kinda funny but kinda not ... I know why they are drinking it but they dont know why I am drinking it ... therefore they dont know why they are drinking it either!

Hey  there Q................

I find that people watch how much I ate when I was early out !

I  get questioned  like:  Is that all you can eat  ?

How can you maintain your health with so little food ?

These inquires came from co-workers and family members !!!

Now,   they are  pretty much use to it and I do not get the stare downs  :)

Howdy Phyll,
that's good that the stare downs have stopped. I know during my lapband days I would look at how much people ate and couldn't believe that I had once ate that much. Even after the band I stayed with toddler plates and never went back to eating massive amounts of food, it is what I was eating that got me.
