Another NSV

Its one thing when someone who hasn't seen you in a while sees you at 9 weeks post op and they are taken back a bit by what they see. They remember your round face and that you took up a bit more room than the last time they saw you. You might event be wearing some new more stylish clothes than the transformed table cloth you we wearing last time they saw you. So it is understandable that they have a strong reaction to your weight loss. But when people you work with and see 5 out of 7 days a week for 8 to 10 hours a day (more than you see your family typically ??who worked out that plan??) notices your weight loss, that is a big deal. My boss, who sits right next to me and sees me probably more than any of his other people seemed a bit stunned (I guess he's not very observant) when he realized how much weight I lost. Another co-worker last week, same situation. It feels good to hear it.

Now big question/complaint!. When the hell will the people close to me stop asking me how I feel. Damn it I feel fine. The hard part is over. Stop asking, its getting old. I am not suddenly going to start feeling like crap after dropping 70+ lbs. We don't need to have a 10 minute conversation about my and weight loss EVERY time you see me. Hmmm guess I had a little bit bottled up.

So Keith, you look great!  BUT, how are you "FEELING"?  

sorry, had to be done...

Touche

People still ask me how I feel. I think at first it was out of concern for my health. Now it's sort of along the lines of, "Wow, your life must be totally different now that you are a thin person! How does that make you feel?" Instead they just say with a question, "I bet you feel so much better?"

It's just part of human nature I suppose.

I suppose. Its just frustrating because I do not like to be the center of attention nor the topic of conversation.

I say that on next "casual Friday"...you wear a custom made T shirt that says " Feelin' fine...stop asking"!

I had once remarked that I wanted to tattoo my forehead to get my coworkers to stop saying..." oh take a bite...just one bite won't hurt you". Really?

YAY FOR YOUR NSV's!!!!!!!

This is why I have stopped telling people what I did.  I only told about 6 friends and my family...the rest can kiss my ass lol

I saw 2 people yesterday that hadn't seen me in AT LEAST two years. They knew about the weight loss, but it's always funny to watch their faces because, truly, it's dramatic in person, I guess.

People ask how I feel all the time, in the "wow, you must feel completely different"... I always answer with a smart ass smirk "actually, I feel just terrible and awful" LOL... that usually gets my point of "OMG STFU" across.
