UN-F.A.R.T. Day

 I feel like chit ...   On the way out of my condo I stopped to talk to our local old resident/maitenance guy, "Coach" (everyone calls him that b/c he looks like a former one) ..  He has known about my WLS since almost the beginning and was really amazed to see what it did for me over the past 2 1/2 years.  I knew that his own daughter went to SC to have RNY surgery herself a year ago, and I had heard was now at goal weight, about 1/2 her former weight.

  Anyway, Coach kinda pulled me aside and asked quietly, "you're not re-gaining weight, are you?"   
  
 

 At first, I wondered if he was asking this b/c maybe his daughter was having regain problems with her RNY, but, as he then bragged about how well she has been doing with it, I realized that was NOT the reason he asked the question, apparently.      I can only assume he thought I looked like I was regaining.   Truth is, I had been on the scale the day before and I was up to 281 lbs., which is 30 lbs. above my lowest post-op weight and the highest I have been since my honeymoon period ended.        Still, I wouldn't think 20-30 lbs. regain, would be that noticeable to others after losing over 200 lbs., but I guess I was wrong.       This is the first time I have had someone tell me I looked like I was regaining.

  To top it off, I get to work and the partner promptly gives me the "wow, u've been stinking the place up lately" speech in my office.   Here I thought I was doing a good job keeping the gas down for once, but apparenlty I hadn't and didn't even realize it ....  

   Sometimes I wonder why I ever had this surgery .. .    

DUDE YOU LOST 200 POUNDS WHY EVEN DOUBT WHY. AS FAR AS WEGIHT GOES THINK OF THREE 10 POUND BAGS OF POATOES WRAPPED AROUND YOUR BELLY,CHEST AND THIGHS.  I'M PUSHING 365 POUNDS RIGHT NOW, I DECIDED IN FEBRUERY TO GET SURGERY SINCE THE ONLY THING THAT EVER HELPED ME LOOSE WEIGHT WAS PHIN/PHIN AS FAR AS GAS POST OP MY CPAP MACHINE GIVES ME SUPER AMOUNTS OF GAS BUT I WORK IN LARGE PRODUCTION FACILITY AND CAN WALK OFF SOMEWHERE.

Your boss tells you, you're farting too much?  Fart on his phone so he can smell you up close then tea bag the phone while your at it...

That's funny as hell....LMAO

Well Bat, I've gotta weigh in, uknewthat.
Partner is not over the 50% share I hope.  Gas is an attention getter. This was a planed event.  These are trying times and we need to remain focused.  A good WLS'er fart will do that. Bring the workforce into a "talking" mode.  Create a new momemtum
You know your numbers.  If you are in a fish bowl make some changes.  Sounds hard, but we WLS'ers need hardball once in awhile. I'am a newbee on a honeymoon with a fat mouth.LOL, LOL
will post back in '12 with a 50lb gain and wait for the next fat mouth
Good luck

Bat would you do me a favor and keep a food log for the week and post it here or pm it to me? I'm curios as hell as to what you might be eating that's keeps bringing this topic back up at work.
