I can completely relate. I work for an Ob/Gyn - private practice. There are two other employees, both very small grandmothers. Weekly I'm asked:

"When are you due?"

"I didn't know you were pregnant!?"

"How far along are you?"

and told:

"You're so lucky to work for Dr. _____ while you're pregnant. He was just wonderful when I had my babies with him!"

I've even had people reach out and touch my belly, waiting for it to kick. Yeah, the only thing that's kicking you is me!!

Uuugghh! Hang in there, I also carry all my weight around my middle, so I know what you mean.

Crossing my fingers you get you approval soon!!!

I'm just beginning my journey and won't have sleeve surgery until January, but I'm looking forward to dropping 10% pre-op :)

Hang in there! I can relate completely. I carry most of my weight in my belly and before surgery I had several people ask me if I was pregnant. I tried "hiding" my belly with cute empire waist type shirts - well THAT was a mistake. Apparently, people can't tell the difference between a stylish empire waist and maternity clothes.

I've noticed that men never asked me, it was always women. Even when I was pregnant with my 2 kids, when strangers would ask/mention my being pregnant, my husband would get annoyed. His motto is you NEVER ask a women if she is pregnant, even if it's obvious (or you think it is). Women seem to think that it's ok for some reason. It's so rude! How about this - if I'm really pregnant and I want you to know about it, I'll TELL YOU! :rolleyes:

I hear you. It really hurts & nobody close to me seems to get it. It happens to me at least 2x a week.

It hurts extra for me bc w/ tye pcos & only having 1 remaining ovary.

You know what i do? If someone asks me...i rub my belly and say "why yes...six months along..arent i looking great?" If they feel my stomach, i simply breathe funny and make my tummy bounce and say "did you feel that?" ...Later on when they see me again and ask about the baby i say " oh i am months overdue..like 12 months...dont know what is up with that baby! Just doesnt want to come out!"

Seriously..i have learned to play a joke on them by using their own idiocy. It doesnt happen very often but when it does..why should i be the one crying? Its their issue not mine. I knew Drama club would pay off!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
