I've been totally upfront at work about my surgery and today one of my coworkers was being just...super insensitive....she's one of those people that weighs about 90 pounds soaking wet and she can't believe "how crazy someone would have to be to have surgery to lose weight"...I just wanted to punch her!!! But I didn't...I just calmly explained to her that my decisions have been made with a very sound mind...b***h.

She's also one of those people who has a super high pitched voice that I freaking hate...everytime she talks it's like nails on a chalkboard.

Ok rant over!

Yeah, most people like that have their own struggles going on and the only thing that makes them feel good is ridiculing others.

Some people will never get how we feel until they have been in our shoes. Some people are just stupid and sometimes even with educating them you just can not fix stupid!

Yeah...usually I can roll with the punches but as my surgery date gets closer and my preop diet gets more intense...I am running out of patience!!

Do you think the preop diet defense would stand up in a court of law? I think it's similar to the Twinkie defense! Lol

From my standpoint I would say yes!! Even after you have surgery some people still do not understand the process that you have to do to eat. I have a producer that I work with and she has a really high metabolism and does not see why I carry a big bag of Protein powders and Snacks that will not blow my calories for the day. Can you just not eat like a normal person? NO I CAN NOT!!

I'm a little more nasty and think i might have come back with a " but after your surgery went so well, i was just looking to you as mentor."

Unfortunately there is no surgical option for stupid... You'll get fit and she'll still be, well ... stupid.

Good luck, glad you didn't let it get you down!

Haha, from what I've read, the preop liquid makes people crazy, n ummm, insanity is a legit defense . Shhhh, lolol

YOU SHUDA RESPONDED...apparently bc w clothes on, u look like a frekn no classed inbred!! Then deleted her.

Remember....SUCCESS is your best defense. I think insensitive skinny people who use thoughtless comments about our plight or choices want others to see them as exceptional and want us to think they are superior. If you join this successful choice of weight management(which we All work at), then that just makes her Average. You will soon get the positive attention for overcoming your hardships and she can not feel superior over you.

Jaja, if a go directly to her with only one look i think she runs faster than roadrunner. People like that don't deserve my time , that's why I erased her and after that she erase the post cause is offensive 2.

Thanks :-)

I have been extremely selective of the folks in whom I have confided because of the inability of some folks to have any sort of empathy. It's not easy, as some of these folks are people I have lunch/dinner with once a month. I've been "busy" for a month now, but being 13 days post-op now, I think I will have to develop a tummy-flu for a week or so. Yes, I hate the deceit, but, in reality, it's none of their damn business anyway.

People who have always been thin truly don't understand. My mom's highest weight, 9 months pregnant was 117. She can be insensitive at times, but she truly doesn't understand. Just ignore that woman. Or, you could buy her that book by Judge Judy, "Beauty Fades. Dumb is Forever."
