leiaD got a reaction from mytime4me in Most absurd thing people said to you when you told them you were having WLS?
Lol one person told me "you're not small, but you're not big BIG, so you don't need it." [emoji848] thanks...... that was just so helpful and well thought out

[emoji23] hopefully my facial expression said it for me! The stuff people say.... I also had plenty of people suggest exercise as if I wasn't already doing it. They automatically think you don't exercise. Or that after surgery it's just sunshine and rainbows and I lose all the weight just by sitting and eating. People should really do research.

...oh man, this just may be the pre-op diet talking - but it would be so hard for me not to say... "you're not stupid but you're not smart either" right back at 'em

...so today, I told my mother in law that I was having WLS and getting sleeved Friday (28-Jul). She told me to save myself the recovery and just stop eating french fries. Where was that helpful information all along?!?!?! LOL
In all seriousness, I am in the process of getting approved for time off after my surgery and the short term benefits manager at my company literally told me that if I utilized the work gym, I wouldn't have to take time off to "deal with this now".
Seriously, WTF people. Its hard enough making the decision I made, so not very thankful for the peanut gallery!
I am trying to stay positive and blocking out all the judgy comments. I am hoping that will be easier when I can rock an "I told you so" body.
<end rant>

Sounds like you have all the right people in your life.... it'd be funny if it weren't so nasty [emoji849]
Seriously though... if mil asks you how you're doing so and so many months later, or compliments you on your looks or clothing or something, just say " i took your advice and stopped eating [emoji489] "

How did it go? We're surgery buddies lol. I'm doing okay, it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The gas pain is real but my incisions doesn't hurt much. I've walked several times. My mouth was so dry and lips super chapped lol. Can't wait for something to drink today, hopefully I can keep it down.

leiaD got a reaction from GotProlactinoma in 5 days out, not feeling great at the moment
Lol trust me, I know! I cried about it twice. It's weird to be crying about it but I guess people who aren't going through this wouldn't understand. It's not just a physical change.

leiaD got a reaction from jerZmom in What was the biggest surprise for you at or after surgery? What do you wish you had known?
Can you elaborate? I had my surgery 6/19 and I'm already thinking about how horrible my body is going to look once I lose this weight. I feel like I traded weight loss for saggy skin and breast. Yes, I'm happy that I will be healthier but I'm 27 and don't want to have so many things that I have to pay to fix. It's a little disheartening to think after I've stabilize my weight loss and maintain it, that I have to pay for all this corrective cosmetic surgery and still have to struggle with the body issues and how I view myself. I feel I traded one body issue for a few others.
