I’m not sure how to tell this story, I just really wanted to put it out there, because it’s made my whole week.
I started my journey in September 2018. I’ve lost a good 70-ish pounds, and have maintained without thinking about too hard. I wouldn’t consider myself “skinny”. I haven’t even hit my goal weight. I fit clothes I haven’t been able to in years, and a bunch of other milestones that have come. I haven’t appreciated these milestones as much as I probably deserve.
Now just last week I had to have surgery. I’ve been suffering with an awful gallbladder for close to a decade, and just literally did nothing about it. This increased to the point I had a gallbladder attack in front of my mother in law, and I was GOING to the er. Found out I’ve had a 2cm plus stone, and that bad boy had to come out now. I was only going to get sicker. It’s the way they told me that was a complement. When the doctor came in she said “welp it’s genetic because you’re skinny” and pretty much every doctor after that made a comment on how healthy and skinny I was.
I’m telling you- any stranger on the street could call me skinny and there would be a grain of salt, but for surgeons to be like “oh you’re skinny and very healthy”... they made an absolute point to let me know I’m thin. I have to assume they usually see a case like mine in bigger people, so I must have been a breeze on the table- but that was like a “medically and technically you’re skinny” and I don’t have the degrees to argue. I’m just flabbergasted, really.
