imlosingit

Externally I was dead set against weight loss surgery, internally, I wanted and needed change. I had been on two rounds of phentermine, I had lost gained and lost gained. I was so tired of the rollercoaster and then one day my sister told me she was having the sleeve. I looked at her (now realizing with envy) and said "I would do it on my own, I didn't need help!"
She knew all to well my struggles as she had been on the same journey her entire life.
The final straw was just a few months later when my sister was about 2 months post op, and I called her crying, depressed again about my weight. She said to me "You can continue trying on your own without success for an additional 2-3 years, or in 2-3 years be healthy and happy." She was right and I began the process the following week.
My surgery is next Wednesday and I am READY for a change.... a good change.

Okay so I been wanting to get this crap off of my chest for a few weeks. Why is it that people who know you've had surgery are so OBSESSED with what and how much you are eating?!?!? Example, a co worker of mine knows (along with the rest of the building) that I've been sleeved. Last week I was headed out to get lunch and she asked me if I wanted leftover Soup from a meeting she hosted. Sure, I took the soup, who wouldn't take that over going out into -9 degree weather to get some food? After all, eating is NOT fun anymore. I eat because I have to avoid this pest called "starvation". At any rate, we have a monthly building meeting where lunch is provided and yesterday was the time for that meeting. What did they have? chicken Enchiladas, Refried Beans, lettuce rice and all the fixings. I had already purposed in my mind that I would have beans with a little sour cream and a small piece of enchilada. Well, as I am standing in line she sashays her nosey a** over to me and says "I have more soup if you want it" ARGGHHH! If looks could kill she would have fell over dead. I am 35 years old, I can manage my own plate. I looked at her and said "I don't want any soup!!" and no I didn't say it nicely because this same lady is ALWAYS inquiring about my eating!!!! She turned beet red! I was so pissed! I am quite CAPABALE of having a meal! I CAN eat regular food! I get sick of her and people like her monitoring my plate! They dont know how much we struggle and how slow we must eat or what we can eat or anything else about being sleeved. I am sick and tired of all these butt nuggets in my office to be quite frank..... they need to MIND THIER OWN BUSINESS!!! That is all.... thanks for reading. I am now accepting suggestions for snarky, snide comments that will be reapeated lol

Thanks you all! This has made me feel SO much better, lol!!! VSGKirk, I am so glad you have the support you do.... the turds here just get on my nerves! You're right 1happyloser2b! For the first time, I do feel as though "I got this"! NicoleAnz, make sure you use some of gmanbat's "snarkiness" hahaha!!!!

I just had to share with people who would get it.... 10 years ago my husband bought me 2 "timeless" suits. I loved them, but over the years the weight just kept creeping up. Needless to say, the pants at one point wouldn't go past my knees. Well today, not only can I fit those suits, but they looked better than they did 10 years ago! I feel so good!!! This is the best decision i have ever made for myself. The vanity of it is at the bottom of the why's. Today, I looked in the mirror and thought for the first time in a very long time... I'm pretty. The moment those pants slipped over my hips and buttoned without me rolling around or sucking in is a moment I will not quickly forget. It truly brought tears of gratitude to my eyes! Sorry for going on and on, but I just had to share!!!!!
