wow...you let her walk away....just kidding....I know exactly how you feel.......judged by the shell is a pretty demeaning thing.......I had a guy once stop his car in front of my house to watch me garden in my front lawn....he told his wife that he would not even go outside if he looked like me.....and why can't I just lose it.....it made him sick to see me....and yet he stopped his car to watch me.....2 years later he came to my house...he was just a shell of a man...he had gotten very sick and now wanted to ask me to forgive him....I explained to him that what he did would be with me the rest of my life and that he humiliated me.....I asked why he thought he had a right to do that.......he said he never forgot the look on my face when he did that.......he told me that no one understands his illness and it made him more understanding of others....I told him that is good for you..but the damage was done...and that he was in danger of passing on his prejudice to his kids........I am sorry I did not let him off the hook............what these people do is disgusting behavior for human beings.........

Being heavy is not for the faint of heart.................all of us have stories that tear at our hearts....I am just so sorry that you didn't punch her in the face........

People in here know that your a human being and a lovely one at that......don't let them bring you to the point where you don't move forward with your life.........you deserve to be you no matter what others say......feed on what she did in a positive way and move on.....your among friends here...

Have you ever heard of the expression..chew your water.....well it is real..it is taking the ice cold water that you drink and swishing it around in your mouth and moving your jaw up and down until the water mixes well with your saliva.......when it mixes it well your stomach can handle the water better.........it is easier for you to use this way then swallowing as soon as you put it in your mouth....I have just learned about this technique myself and hope that it will work for me too...I love water and gulp it down with total satisfaction.........I know I won't be able to do that after I am sleeved but knowing that I can still put it in my mouth and working it around my mouth might give me some satisfaction...here is to hoping.....

TY for your story......it was funny and yet showed the seriousness of what you were about to do........I really enjoyed the story....it made my day...

There have been times in my life that me being the fat girl helped other people have great self esteem....from family to friends, Doctors and other people in authority.........I have only shared this dicision with a very few well chosen people and have told them that if any thing negative comes out of their mouth...that I will not give them a second chance.....my days of being laughed at, stared at, joked about and people making rude comments are numbered.......I will not be stopped this time by those who think they are trying to help me in some absurd way........I am angry with how society views people with weight related issues.....it is excepted and tolerated as normal.....well it is a horrible injustice that has been left unchecked as far as I am concerned.......What we have lived through has not been for the weak that is for sure.....and what I am about to do is for me and no one else...........a small part of me wants to go see those who stopped their car at my driveway to watch me garden.....the Doctor who did not want to treat me because he felt I did not care about myself or my sister who is comfortable because well at least she is not as big as me............I have low self esteem..but I have the power to make a difference for me...and I am..look out world... here comes a new me...a new attitude and I will always be a defender of anyone who struggles with any issue in their lives......

That was a scream...ty ty ty so much for sharing.......dam the torpedos and go for broke.....just think if they all move to the other side of the street..the room you would have to break dance........cool you!!!!!!

I'm planning on not visiting the kitchen for the entire 2 weeks I have to drink the liquid before surgery..My husband has agreed.....can you drink as much water as you want when you are doing this part of the pre-op...

TY
