I wanted to punch her in her naturally skinny face!



Recommended Posts

People who have always been thin truly don't understand. My mom's highest weight' date=' 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.";)[/quote']

IM GETTING THAT BOOK ASAP,

I'd have said I might be fat but your ugly and I'm loosing weight. And if that didn't work I'd just say F off.

Ignorance comes from uneducation. A non-WLS person will never understand what we go through. Keep you're head up, this decision is for YOU.

I bet if you shaved your beard, you would be just as skinny as her.

Ever think of that? :lol:

I would say to her: you cannot judge someone's situation unless you've been it. She has never been fat, never had the diet you grew up on, food addiction, stressors, contributory mental & health problems, faced the negative social situations we've all been in, etc. Try to understand that the majority of people are (ie Facebook b***h/neighbor) uneducated & lack empathy. At least fat people take the time to develop likeable personalities. I think that criticism from others is a huge factor in weight gain & trouble losing.

Stay strong!!!

then slash her tires& steal her husband.

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!

I haven't told a lot of folks for that same reason. We all know our limits, I hit mine and decided another diet was not it. I needed help and my surgery will be just the help I need.

I saw a bumper sticker that I love. "Jesus loves you. Everyone else thinks you're an *******." Sorry if that's rude. Made me laugh.

well what I think (because I know everyone is just biting their nails waiting for my opinion lol jk) is that we as a group should take all the insensitive tan skinny people stuff them in a closet and force feed them twinkies. hahhahaha that is the best revenge. people shouldn't talk about things they don't know. walk a sweaty, short breathed, exhausted mile in our shoes and see how u feel!! grrrrr. (ive run into some of that lately as well)

      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
