MonicaJ64 got a reaction from bl1988 in Most absurd thing people said to you when you told them you were having WLS?
People don't realize what they say. Often their hearts are in the right place but they completely screw up on the delivery.
My brother encouraged me to go for walks every day. My ex told me he was scared for me. My mother told me when she saw I was losing weight from the Meal Replacement diet pre surgery that "see you don't need the surgery, just keep doing what you're doing now..." and then day of surgery, was told "it's not too late to change your mind!"
i believe these statements are fear driven.
Like I said- heart in the right place.

31 year old single mom here of an 8 year old. Although my daughter is significantly more self sufficient at her age. She still needs help. I recruited help from Friends and family. I've learned that I actually need to ask for help. Which is SO not in my nature. I am a proud person. I enjoy being able to do things on my own. Ask for help. Remind your husband it's a temporary state of being for long term success and benefit to your health
I'm post op 2 weeks as of today.
good luck!!

...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.
