My best friend saw me after a couple of weeks and said...You have a bobble head. People have always told me I have a big head, but I can't tell because I look at it everyday. But my best friend...and now I am getting all of the...You are getting too skinny. My mom is the only one who is like...keep going...lose as much as you can. I feel like I could lose more and look ok. I am not even a size 8 yet :) I couldn't even stop losing weight if I wanted to. It is going where it is going. I really need some good come backs...I mean really good ones...that shoot an arrow straight back into their heart, but I am not that Witty. Suggestions.

I am, as of the morning, down 109 pounds. At 5'11" I am 182 :) On my doctor's scale I would probably be 178. I am still overweight :)

Let the comebacks begin!

"At least I'm not a knucklehead"?

Too light for me. I was thinking more like at least I am not a ***** But obviously I need to be smarter than just criticizing them.

I'm a bobble head because now that my body is losing all this weight, my head can't support my super intelligent, large brain

"Ouch!" This always works for me. How rude are they. Keep going as much as you can and take all your supplements for good health. I believe our bodies will stop when it's time. And besides, have you reached your surgeon's goal? WHAT about your goal? Your doing fine. ;)

I think people call you too skinny because they are too lazy to adjust. They are used to relating to the larger you and it requires too much depth of character for them to realize that you are the same person.

Too skinny in what way?

Healthwise? Have them site their medical reasons and test results.

Aesthetics? Every see a super-model?

Survival? Expecting an extended famine and the extra fat will be needed?

Sheesh!

If I wasn't married to a people I wouldn't have anything to do with them. :angry::D

Wow. If my best friend told me I had a bobble-head, I'd probably just cry... and then I'd let her know that I appreciate her support so much, but I still have a ways to go. Maybe something like, "Yeah, I know I look a lot different from before, but I'm still not where my doctor and I think I need to be, so when you say stuff like that, it hurts my feelings"? I don't know. I can't really be coherent when my feelings are hurt--I could later, though! I always come up with great stuff later!!!

When someone was sort of rude to me (she said she had lost a lot of weight, too, but she did it "the hard way"), all I could say was, "Congratulations on your loss"--because I don't think she intended to be rude. If your friend was teasing you, okay, but you could certainly let her know that it sort of hurt your feelings! You rely on her support and honesty, but you also need to be reassured (like everyone else! including her) that you're okay, and it hurts when she says stuff like that.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
