Can't believe it happened already!
So today I went to the grocery store where I work for the first time since sugery and I was with my friend who is 6 wks post RNY. As we were shopping a fellow coworker happened to see me and says in a very loud and excited voice, " Amy, how are you doing, how much have you lost"!!???? My friend and I were both stunned and yes I told her and then we were quickly on our way. I know I will be asked this a zillion times over, but I was not expecting it the first week. I definitely will be taking this one aside and teaching her a little WLS ettiquette!
That is one reason I wanted to keep my surgery quiet... not a secret, but I didn't want everybody under the sun asking me "How much have you lost" every time they saw/talked to me. Now when I am asked, I just say, "I try not to get on the scales too often" and just leave it at that! People are just curious and not always respectful of our privacy:) Good luck and happy losing.
