Had an old co-worker stop by to say hi to everyone today. I haven’t seen him since Christmas Eve and one of the first things he mentioned to me was that I had lost weight and looked great.
I was surprised. I know I’ve lost weight. But it surprises me that I’ve already made such a difference that it’s noticeable to other people. It so made my day to know someone that I haven’t seen in awhile who doesn’t know I’ve had WLS can see it on me.
Today was also treat day at work. Once a month we gather for delicious homemade treats to celebrate the birthday people of that month. Luckily the person who makes the treats knows about my surgery and is beyond supportive. She cut me a little chunk off her cupcake so I could try a taste. It was delicious and it was hard for me to not grab a hole one but that tiny chunk made me feel full right away and I just sat and talked with everyone else. But the best part was that no one said anything. I was convinced someone was going to mention how little I had eaten, but they didn’t. Maybe they didn’t notice, or care, or maybe they really have enough class to just shut the fuck up. I was just happy I could sit and chat with my co-workers and not have to worry.
