Funny Random Realization & a NSV

When we would go out to eat right after surgery (when I was still obese), servers constantly asked me if my food was ok, I would say everything was fine, I just didn't eat much, and they would look at me funny. Now when we go out to eat and I have tons of food left, they just ask if I want a to-go box.

NSV: I went to have my physical on Tuesday for my nursing school application, and one of the sections said body type...the nurse checked the slim/slender box. A few months ago, she would have checked the overweight/obese box.

I LOVE my sleeve and how it has changed my life!

That's a great NSV! That's funny about the waitress. I'm sure that's not the only person that treats you different. People make so many assumptions about overweight people.

Great NSV.

Now waitstaff at resterants (sp) ask me if food was o.k. since I don't eat much of it!! LOL

What a wonderful feeling to have that little box checked!

When we go out I am always getting, is everything ok, and a look like, why the heck are you not eating everything! They come back more often though I have noticed LOL

I had the same thing with waitstaff. Now I eat a little more then early out, and when I have food left over it looks normal.

Congrats on the NSV!

Shannon, congrats on the slim/slender. That is a great accomplishment.

The waitstaff probably just think that is how you stay so slim - by not eating much!!

I know what you mean about the restaurants. When I was eating out the other day, I ordered 1 chicken fajita taco on a corn tortilla and when I couldn't quite fini**** the waitress said to me "well no wonder you're so skinny, you eat so little". I just chuckled and thought to myself...if you only knew. And then the other day I went into J. Crew and told the sales lady that I wanted the sweater that was on the mannequin in the window and she went straight over to the rack and pulled me a size small! She didn't even ask me my size! How cool is that!! I love my sleeve too.
