What the hell is wrong with people. A good family friend just commented that she thinks I'm eating too much cause I go out and eat. I must of missed when she got her nut license lol. she thinks that u must starve urself to diet. Now I track all my calories 1000-1200 a day and work out 3-5 days a week spinning burning 600 calories each class. Plus some walking n weight training on non spin days I have lost 39 lbs in 3 months!! Pats self in back with a huge smile!!

Do I go out and eat absolutely do I eat a app entree n desert not really maybe a taste of app n a few bites of my entree and never take left overs home!! A friend two weeks ago who doesnt know about my wls commented how little I eat...How rude are people. People think I'm supposed to lose 50 lbs a month this is why I limited who I told. I told her I count for everything I put in my mouth. N I'm a not perfect but I sure am trying my best. This is not the comment I want to hear after getting up at 5 am to workout before work n work a long stressful draining 12 hour day. I needed to vent and feel only you all will understand. It baffles me how even comments that come from a place of concern and love are so rude... I love the latest from a coworker so glad ur losing weight u look so much better ..really wtf I was cute before my weight did not define who I am. I had this surgery cause every diet I tried for 27 years I have failed out and don't want to have a heart attack like my dad and die at 45 years old. People are so rude my patience and caring is less and less as I become happier and healthier.and putting myself first in my lifetime.. Thanks for listening gets off soapbox.....

That's exactly why I was scared to tell anyone about it for the people that really matter. People think it's the easy way out and it ticks me off. We have to work just as hard as anyone else.... some people are like oh you have had it that long and only lost so many lbs and I smile and say yup how much have you lost? I get. Kick out of asking that because most of the time the people that say that are bigger people.... I hope you have a better week! :-)

Thanks I will Tom is a new day

Totally understand. I just had the Jewish New Year and someone said to me, you have no food on your plate. I said I have more than enough.

People keep asking how much I lost and when I say, I don't share that information the looks are priceless.

Keep up your wonderful work and F**K everyone.

You go Carolina Girl!Tell them to go poop in a hat!

people are so rude end of story.. unles su ahve walked in my shoes pelase keep ur comment to urself thats why i love this forum we have all walked this walk

I was just banded on the 13th and I know what you are saying. Dieting didnt work for me and I was just getting heavier and heavier from each failed diet. I can't stand when someone says this was an easy way out - first of all it's expensive (even if you have ins) it's still expensive. Then there's the surgery which is surgery after all - all the pain and discomfort with that. Then liquid diet (nothing fun there). Then diarrhea and aches and pains and nausea. I don't see how this surgery is the easy way out - dont get me wrong. I'm happy I did it I'm just sayin!

Someone recently asked me how I was losing weight so I told them I would bring soe papers for them to read what I could have then I made copies of the post op & told them to try the first week for 2 weeks and to stick to it then at the end of 2 weeks let e know how u feel lol so I a going to wait but the one person who really wanted it didn't come in the next day I wander if she went into starvation mode lol

Amen sista! In the beginning I told everyone and now I regret it because they constantly ask "how much weight have you lost" like its a contest or something. And I feel guilty if it has only been 3 or 4 weeks since I last saw them and I'm only down 3 or 4 lbs, I've lost slow. Makes me feel like a failure. Then I hear, you were always so pretty, then in the same breath, your face looks so different, hello am I ugly now. people can be so rude. I live with my 74 yr old mom and she polices my food, yes, I'm grateful for the accountability but on the otherhand I don't like the harping of every morsel that goes into my mouth. So what if I am at a plateau its my body and I can't do anything about it. sheesh i just wish everyone would leave me the h.... alone about my band

OK, so i have to share one experience i had...... I think by now most people here know i say what i feel and have little to no filter.

Ran into a girl i use to work. We NEVER got along, she always talked about my weight behind my back with other co workers. Saying how fat i was... She use to be pretty thin, but has gained a pretty good amount of weight. Anyway we were at the grocery store. She came up to me and said. I heard you had LB surgery, how much have you lost. I told her 80lbs.. she rolled her eyes and smirked... At this point.. I don't know what came over me.... i looked at her, you know that head to toe scan, and said... Soooo howwww much weight have you gained now....

I know i know it was harsh.... but she deserved it. I LOVE KARMA...

Me again. I just told my husband and he once said to my aunt, who always had comments about everything especially weight, he said, I can always lose weight but you will never change. my oldest son was there and couldn't believe what was said.
