Oh No He Didn't

That was a great response!

Most people (even the nice, well-meaning ones) are totally ignorant about life after WLS.  When people ask me how I lost all that weight, I usually say, "Less food, more exercise", which is no lie.  Maybe 20-30 yrs ago, I would've been willing to get into a confrontation with a stupid a**hole, but nowadays I just don't have the energy.  So, I applaud you!

Thanks Jean, I think I'll stick with less food and more exercise for a while.  I don't think I could take that everyday. 

People who have never had real weight issues (like us) just have NO CLUE. All of their fat is between their ears obviously.

Wow!  What  a comeback!     That was a great comeback for what was a most rude response to you.  

What amazed me was that the man had the nerve to ask you how much weight you'd lost!   I think that's a private matter and if you chose to share it with him on your own, that would be fine.  

I know that I'll run into the same issues as I will lose 150 lbs by the time I'm done.   Those I'm close to will know about the surgery, but  the rest of the world will only know of the hours I'm putting in the gym and the way I've now chosen to eat, healthy!

It's amazing how thoughtless people can be.
