I just posted this on my Facebook page. My only comment was, would the person who wrote this email call Oprah a bad example? There is nothing wrong with being proud of who you are.

I have a crooked nose, so does this mean people should start telling me to get surgery? Why does obesity give people the green light to make comments and assumptions?

The news show did ask the guy to respond to her editorial, and he still showed his ignorance.

This is what I wrote on my facebook: WKBT's Jennifer Livingston addresses a bully who chastised her for not being a better role model for the community. In his unsolicited criticism Kenneth Krause noted, "Obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make." The man later released a statement suggesting Livingston "transform herself" over the next year. The man has no idea of her history or health, and yet he thinks it is OK to criticize her. Obesity isn't a choice; it can't always be fixed in a year. And just because someone is obese doesn't mean they aren't doing something about it even before you so rudely pointed out their obesity.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
