"You're going to be all saggy"

I was having a meeting yesterday with some co-workers and that's what one of them said to me. My surgery is a week from today. The other two were wishing me well, asking me if I am excited.

Then she said - "I've lost weight before, and then I looked in the mirror and I was all saggy. What's worse? Being fat or being saggy? It's not worth it."

I said to her - "That's not why I am doing this."

I am having a hard time getting over it.

She's larger than I am, and she has come to talk to me already about what I went through to get to this point. She made faces through the entire time I was talking to her, shaking her head, saying it's too much work.

I get it - she's not ready. And maybe she's jealous.

Boy, though, I am MAD. I'm also on liquid diet, and super grouchy.

And I hope that I'm NOT all saggy and then what is she going to say? 

Poke her in the eye and then walk away.  That's what I'd do.

  Why is that type of stuff funny to me?! I was going to say punch her in the throat but I guess poking her in the eye works too.

It's even better if you imagine her doing the double-eye poke and walking away with a Curly Joe's "wooooop woopwoopwoopwoop..."

 

I am all saggy AND floppy.  Now that I can actually sit down in a tub and enjoy a long soak, the saggy and floppy parts float.  And I love it!  I don't have hypertension, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea.  I can actually enjoy a day out doing things rather than having to choose which one store I can go to.  Maybe I could go to two if they both had those electric carts.

So get your grouch on.  Soon you'll be getting over your post-op malaise.  Then in a few months, you'll being living la vida loca.  And that will be the best "revenge".

well you may be I am but I would rather be saggy and live a glorious life than die of morbid obesity so for me it was never going to deter me..............I would avoid her like the plague she will only be a detractor.

Now I have always been outspoken I would not take any crap. Set it up early just state if your comments are not positive I do not want to hear them and I will consider it slander and will report it to HR if I hear it from any other co-worker

 Better than all dead-y

OMG--I was saying this in my head and you beat me to it!

Seriously, OP, tell that ***** to **** off. Extra skin can be ignored, or if desired, even removed with plastics.
