lunch with wls

From here on in wls will stand for weight loss surgery. Just to make things easier. I had lunch today with two other girls who also had wls. We went to California Pizza Kitchen. First the waitress couldn't comprehend that we did not want any drinks, no, not even water. This is a hard one for wait staff to get. I sometimes feel almost compelled to explain. Almost. It is really none of their business why I don't want even water. Sure, I could avoid it and just have them bring one, but guess what, I don't want it. I don't want it on the table, because then I will drink it. Then we ordered. Amy and I split a club pizza and Susan got her own. At this point I should explain that both Amy and Susan are thin. When the food came we asked for two boxes. I see this confused the girl even more. Those pizzas aren't that big. Sure, Amy and Susan may not eat a lot, but it is clear that I am not thin. I know they think, "girl you eatin somewhere." Anyway, Amy and I each had a piece and I had plenty to bring home. Lunch with anyone new before wls was a different story altogether. I would not want to eat all I wanted, lest they think I was a pig, or not enough. Then, they would think I was faking. I hate that I will never be normal with food, but who am I kidding, I am not normal in anyway.
