My sister in law passed me on the street today and didn't know me. I just kept walking. Have I mentioned lately that I luv my RNY lol

Do people recognize you that knew you when you were thinner?

I don't know about that Jane as I was much younger when I was thinner so I look a lot different now than I did way back when

Hee! I was thinking the same thing about me - when I was thinner? When was that?? I've always been big. Not quite this big, mind you, but I was overweight from the time I was 2 years old!

Congrats on your NSV, April - that's a funny one! Did you call her later and let her know?

That's funny!

I have to be friendly so often in life that truly I think I would really like to not be recognized outside of the workplace. I do not mean to sound antisocial but hey it sounds good to just do your own thing

Trust me Jane, I am a very social person, not too many people that I wouldn't want to recognize me, but there are definitely some lol

Nice! Yesterday I had a guy at Walmart come up and say my name and shook my hand. I had no idea who he was. He grew up around the corner from me, I have not seen him for 35 years maybe. Interestingly I kinda look like an older version of that teen now and am wearing the same size clothes I did then (and have not been able to since then)!

I wish some of my in laws was pass me... jk! Congrats!
