A topic was brought up on the forums at BTV that got me thinking (as they often do). I did a quick reply over there, but my brain kept on going so I thought I would try to expand on it a bit more here as well.

Basically, it started when someone posted how pre-op, they would walk through the halls at work and hardly get noticed. Now that they are losing weight, it’s changed. People are stopping them to say hi, see how her weekend was, etc. She asked if this was “normal”.

First off, and maybe this is something for a different posting all together, but I’m sorta starting to really dis-like the word “normal”. There is no normal.
