I'm way past caring what people think anymore lol, the way I see it is that I am saving my life, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol ect ect , the side effect is weight loss. I am down to the last three stone and I'm expecting at some stage the " ypu have lost too much now" conversations. These are the issues of others not me. I'm too busy recovering to recover anyone else.

Wow! Hahaha, this is a great topic!!! I've heard so many things, but it always amazes me when people are rude. Its as though, they don't believe my transformation, and sometimes it seems like in a bad way. But whats really funny, my weight would be the same from the last time I saw them. I always wonder why they didn't notice last time.

One really nice compliment I received yesterday was, "Wow, you like just like you did in High School". I will admit, I am still beaming today from that one!! :D

Someone asked me if I had a girl or a boy? **** ive had a hysterectomy 15 years ago and my kids are on college ! Go figure . Always notice that men will compliment way before women. Amazes me that women I havnt seen for ever will not say a word like they can't tell I'm down 70 pounds!

I would never be like that. I'm always the first to compliment someone and cheer them on for their hard work!!! Some people :-(

I am in the insurance process of getting qualified but I have been told " you have such a pretty face you'd be so much prettier if you lost weight, really? and today my sister told me she's praying that I don't get the lapband, I told her don't do that I'm praying I will, and I'm not doing it for you, I'm going to be selfish and do this for myself no matter what she or anyone else feels.

Yesterday at work I had a woman walk by me, then stop, turn around and say, "You're tiny! Have you always been that tiny because you are tiny?!?"

Now keep in mind that I am 5'2" and 180 and therefor far from tiny, lol. But I am not going to lie it was good to hear. Especially considering a had a big fleece jacket on. Now with that being said had I not been 55lbs heavier 9months ago she probably wouldn't have thought I looked "tiny" :)

I bumped into someone in the kitchen at work whom I've not seen in months. Her reaction was "Where's the other half of you?"

While it's only roughly a quarter of my body-weight lost, it's still nice to hear.

One lady asked me if I was sick. I did not change my drivers license for 3 years, and when I pulled it out, people went WOW! I finally proudly changed it before my birthday! ( driving 100 miles round trip and gathering all the information for it was stopping me).

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
