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! :-)

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.

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!

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...

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
