Fattitude



Recommended Posts

I'll introduce myself first. My name is Sherri and I'm a 38 year old nurse. I'm pre-op hoping to have my sleeve done as a self pay in Mexico next summer. I have been lurking on this site and watching people YouTube success videos for about a year now, and I am hopeful that I will be as successful as all you inspirational "losers" someday soon.

Anyhoo, so my friend and I were at the mall today walking by this elderly couple when I notice them both staring at my abdominal region in a very rude, and disgusted way. So I just stared back at them to let them know they were busted and I didn't appreciate their rudeness. How did you guys handle rudeness when you were at your heaviest?

I was actually feeling pretty cute today but of course I felt crappy after that. I'm sure they didn't mean anything by it but they looked like they were staring at like the fattest person they had ever seen! Now I am morbidly obese but I have feelings also! Plus I know there's that slim sexy me waiting to come out soon so I'm not gonna let it get me down. But dang!

A friend of my cousin saw me a few months ago at my heaviest, and was nice, but I turned around for a second and caught him looking at me in a disgusted way. I felt so hurt. My self esteem got crushed even more than it already had. I even felt embarrassed and ashamed because the last time he saw me I was slim. Then, when I left the room, I heard him ask my cousin what happened to me and my cousin told him that I'm fine, but I've just been goin through a rough patch lately.

I can't wait to see him again in a few months and show off! And ill look at him in a disgusted way because hes disgusting on the inside! That prick! I just hate people who judge like that.

I've never been one to handle judgment from other well though. Tryin to change that!

No one defines you, but you. Screw the ignorant folks out there!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
