Since the last time that I write about the weight loss that I experienced after becoming a bandster, my losses pretty much came to a stand still. I was staring to feel a bit sad about that; however, today I just thought I would check my measurements and was very pleased with the results. It seems that my waist is down to 19 cm since the operation which is really very impressive for just under a three week time frame! This said, I have always had a good waist line, small in proportion to the rest of me. I’ve always been one of those people who gains weight everywhere – I am not an apple or pear shaped person – but fat all over the place. This being said, I still have a long way to go in order to get my body back to the place where it should be. After my son was born and I lost my baby weight, my waist was 60 cm; I have quite some distance to travel before I find this waist again! Lets not lose sight though! I lost 19 cm on my waist! 19 cm! Isn’t that great!
My neighbor Earl, who happens to be a clown, came by yesterday to get a look at me. He said that I was looking good and that particularly my face was looking significantly slimmer. He added though, that I should get out in the sun since I was white as a ghost. He is one of those tanners with browned skin that is the shade of a good quality leather couch where as I am pink as a baby pig and burn like barn fire when I go out in the sun. So, I think I will stick with my ghostly shade of white, thank you very much! Sun burns are not good for a girl’s aging process after all!
I am not allowed to eat solid food until next Friday; however, I can eat now – pretty much normally – with small bites a loads of chewing. I called in to the clinic yesterday and Nicole answered my call – she seemed in my opinion, to be a bit of a snippy bitch, to tell you the truth. She gave me an ear full for eating soft chicken, salads and rice noodles. She said “your doctor told you to follow a certain plan of eating and you need to listen. This is NOT the time that you should be testing your band!” and it was not what she said but the way that she said it. I hate taking direction from people who are rude as hell. I will make an attempt never to get her on the phone again and pity the poor people who have her assigned to their case!
What do you do when you have to deal with people like that? For me it is all about avoiding them next time. Do you think I should take a harder stance and complain about the way she speaks to clients? I did spend $16,000 dollars with them, after all. This being said, did I mention that I lost 19 cm from my waist?
June 16th – OK… I just found out from the dietician that (bitchy) Nicole is new there… so in context of our conversation last week… she probably does not get the whole thing yet… I will cut her a break this time and not complain – but I WILL BE KEEPING this first little faux pas on my mind (and blog) should there be another later example of bad attitude on her part. Not a bad tool for keeping evidence – speaking of bitches… if the shoe fits, right?
