I was a "super healthy" fat person until surgery changed my life. Was it worth it?

I took my son to Buckle to get a watch & the sales guy thought I was there to shop for clothes. He said so you need M tops & 27 or 28 pants right? Btw... A 27 or 28 at Buckle is nothing like a 22 at Lane Bryant! I was so happy to just be seen as me by someone who didn't know me before!! & the guy was completely correct! He is really good at his job!????

I buy almost everything resale. But I too love Buckle!! Ann Taylor Loft, White House Black Market. Just makes you feel girly:)

I think it comes from the stigma of obesity. Some people judge obesity more harshly because they say we contribute to our problem. It has only been classified as a "disease" for a little over a year. I have received comments from all ends of the spectrum. For a while I only told those closest to me about my surgery. As time has passed I have become more open. Some are very supportive, some jealous & then some discount my weight loss because " you didn't do it yourself"! I do like to remind people that I haven't eaten bread, rice, potatoes or pastas in over a year!! But I really don't care what they think. I have people ask me my "secret" all the time. There really is no secret. Losing weight is HARD!!! With or without surgery. People want a quick fix & in truth, there isn't one.

Crysclev you don't suck! Just keep at it! This is a journey just stay on track!!Almost a year post op! Would love to hear how everyone is doing!I added a quest bar 2 or 3 times per week. It really helped. If you don't want the calories, ask dr if you can up the benefiber.I don't mind them. If you put in freezer for a few minutes, they get slushie almost like a milk shake. I prefer strawberryI'm approaching the 11 month mark. So very happy with where I am & how far I've come. Hope you are all doing well!I have chest pain if I eat something too sweet!I agree the Mexican tortilla was too spicy for me & I generally like spicy food.When you are admiring a dress, in the resale shop you have been frequenting for 6 months, & the sales clerk says "that won't fit you. It will be too big!"
