Day 28 (13th day of liquid diet)

I had an interesting conversation with a co-worker yesterday, who also happens to be a good friend. Now this friend is tiny.  And I mean tiny, like 5 foot nothing and 125 soaking wet.  So my 5'10" self looks like an amazon next to her.  Especially when I was pushing 300 pounds. So anyhoo. She asked how much weight I'd lost and I told her almost 23 pounds. She said "does that scare you?" And I said "what do you mean?" And she said "that you're losing so fast?". So I was thinking (1) does she not know the point of this surgery and (2) can a fat person EVER lose weight too fast?  Then she says "yeah, I really need to lose about 8 pounds". Now, I have lots of slim friends that say this to me. And I get it. I do. But when you need to lose 100+ pounds, it's REAL hard to have a lot of sympathy for 8 pounds. And I think THEY think it's the same thing. But it ain't. Not...even...close, amiright?
