Getting Called Fat After WLS



Recommended Posts

I have a little rant about stupid insensitive people who don't know how to keep their mouth shut.

Why do people feel the need to tell you that you are fat...

Its like .... what!!! No way! I never knew i was overweight.. i got my stomach cut off because i thought i was thin! I dieted for years because i was bored! I have spent the last month eating like a mouse because i have nothing better to do!

I had the sleeve 4 weeks ago... and finally it is starting to show physically.. so i was feeling so good about myself.. until BAM!

Some idiot at work felt the need to mention that i was "chubby" and that i am lucky i don't hurt myself.

Mind you i am 5'7" and 216 pounds.. and a size 14... i thought i hold my weight really well.... even my surgeon said i don't look what i weigh...

I just wanted to punch this guy in the face.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

oooooo. I'd have said - I bet I'm less likely to hurt myself being fat than you are to hurt yourself being stupid!

Punch him in the face?

Nah. I could get on a flight and come down there and help you punch him in the balls.

I so wanted to punch him in the face! I visually did in my head!

Its funny though.. this came from the skinniest lanky dude who has never probably weighed more than 120 pounds in his life...

I can't help thinking if he is this rude to me... what does he say to people who are much larger... if i wasnt so angry i would actually pity him for his arrogance

Aww i love you guys!!!

At least someone understands how i am feeling!

Yes.. i agree... the face is probably not the most suitable area... kicking in the genital region sounds much more appealing

What a pr$%k! My God - is he mentally challenged that he doesn't realize that's unacceptable?? That's something a 12 year old boy may say to a girl on the playground!

I was gonna get involved in this until I saw mention of the 'genital region'...

I'm staying right away now...

I don't want my bits to inadvertently cop the wrath and scorn of a thousand angry, and possibly carb depleted, women..

Love yas...

Assault is a perfectly acceptable response to an unkind word in these forums? How childish.

Are you taking what we say as literal?

      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!!
