OK so I'm only a few weeks post op and I know I've received some crazy comments from people. 1 guy told me he can see me sliming and I will have a husband by July, my mom made a comment to my nursing staff that I was the 2nd person in my sisters wedding to opt for surgery (as if that was the reason) which got me to thinking, what are some of the crazy comments you've received about your weight loss so far? I know for several of my coworkers I am the guinny pig. They are watching me close as they decide what they want to do about their health and weight. :thumbup:

Believe it or not....my son said he thought he would miss his soft and fluffy mom ( smile...that sound a lot better than morbidly obese). However, when I explained that this would help me to live longer...he was all smiles.

My mom a week after my surgery: "I've always been prejudiced against obese people". What? What?????

Your comment reminds me of my 6 year old niece that told me"Why are you getting smaller? I like your Jiggly Jiggly"! Kids are so funny!!!!

Well Chirper one of the craziest comments I've gotton from my Dad is "I'm gonna have to go buy a gun now"! LOL! I told him Dad please no I am 31 and it's time for men to be paying some serious attention to me before I get too old! On the flip side I lost a potential boyfriend because he told me that I wasn't going to want him anymore when I lose all my weight. He left me alone a couple of weeks after my surgery!!!!! Loser!

I had a couple of friends that said that following the stricked diet before surgery where I lost 17 pounds, asked if I was sure I still wanted the surgery because I was loosing weight with the stricked diet. Let them know Hell Yeah!! :)

OMG Kamsie01 my coworkers said the same thing to me. One actually said, you're already losing weight, why don't you just stay on this diet? I smiled and politely said becuase no one can survive forever on protein shakes alone. Its not a sustainable diet.

MMJ Yes, food is everywhere. Especially on TV!
