Hey, Everyone want to hear a "Joke"? What the hell is wrong with people. Seems we can't win for loosing. Based on a true story. I was told a "Joke" involving a gastric bypass surgery patient that was successful in loosing weight. Now let me remind people that I myself have also hade gastric bypass and the person telling the joke knew this.....So I hear the crude "Joke" and I have been told I have a great sense of humor a time or too. And can indeed if you will take a "Joke". This "joke was not funny to me in any way shape or form. I will not repeat this so called "joke" but what I will say is this.... Some people are ignorant and hurt full that is just the way it is. Later I imagine the same joke being told about myself they just need to change two names and this crude joke would be told on anyone that has had WLS. And it is sad. The point I am trying to make is this. Be yourself and if you are just a little over weight or morbidly obese like I once was. Make the change for yourself not what other people think or say. Because in the end you can not stop people from being hurtful to one another. . If you think the dirty looks or crude "jokes" about your weight will stop once you are at a "health" weight it will not. Some people will just find other faults to judge others by and be hurtful. That is just the way it goes But what you can do is distance yourself from those people. Has anyone else run into situations like this? If so how did you handle it?
