Hello everyone!!!! My name is Nellie!!!! Although I'm new here I've been lurking for quite sometime.... I wanna thank everyone here for being so incredibly loving and supportive I truly feel welcomed... I don't have much support from family with my decision to have weightloss surgery... Everyone feels I should just go to the gym and starve myself to see results... I even got embarrassed by one of my co- workers today during a meeting.... She said incredibly loud and in front of everyone: Oh my god Nellie what happened???? You put on even more weight than when I saw u before!!!" Everyone turn around and stared at me as I hurried to take my seat in the back of the room... I didn't answer her I just kept it moving.....But I felt hurt and highly embarrassed... How can people be so mean???? And u no what she's heavy too!!!! I'm like seriously???? What hurt the most is that I'm such a loving caring person who judges no one!!!! I don't care if young, my senior, heavy, slim and I absolutely don't see color!!!! I give respect where respect due... If you love me, I love you too!!! If your kind to me, I'll be kind to you....and if you need me I'll always be there for you!!!!

I am so sorry to hear that you have such insensitive coworkers. But you have made the right decision to come here. Every one is very supportive and always want to know how everyone is doing. It is a journey and we will all be here for you.

Welcome Nellie! Congrats on making a life changing decision! I am also so sorry that you have not been supported. People can be so mean and it just means they are unhappy within themselves so they have to bring you down to make themselves feel better.

You will be a huge success and then they will be jealous of that...just know you are doing the right thing and look to where you will be a year from now.

Good luck on your journey!!

Hi and welcome some ppl feel the need to point out things about others to feel superior it's a cowardly childish way to behave I think so ppl don't figure out what their shortcomings are perhaps next time reply... Yes Nancy I see we are in the same club we should chat I'll tell u what I'm considering doing to change that it would surely benefit you as well that should shut her up

Welcome, so sorry you have a disrespectful co worker. But good news is soon we'll all be smaller and you can laugh it off soon. I am very sensitive to my weight, and would be so embarrassed if it happened to me. We are all here together!! Keep your chin up.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
