Recently I attended a Fibromyalgia Health and Healing Retreat with my sister and a close friend [both have Fibro and my sister is in the pre-op stage]. Well my friend, who experienced a drastic unplanned weight loss and won't go to the doctor to find out why, was driving me crazy with the following statements.

Feel free to add your own statements.

13 Things You Should Never Say to A Sleever

1. You had Bariatric Surgery, you’re losing weight the cheating way!!!
   
2. I would never have that surgery, I can lose weight whenever I want the natural and real way!
   
3. You know people who have that surgery all die.
   
4. How do you drink those nasty shakes?
   
5. You need to eat more, you’re going to die of malnutrition.
   
6. OMG, you look like you’re sick now.
   
7. You didn’t need that surgery, all you had to do was eat less and exercise more.
   
8. Come on, eat some more, you’re making me look like a pig.
   
9. Try this, try this, one little bit can’t hurt!
   
10. Clean your plate, you know it’s wasteful and disrespectful to leave food on your plate.
    
11. I told a friend about your surgery and showed her your picture, she said she thought you would have been humungous but you weren't so why did you have the surgery.
    
12. Are you sure having the surgery was the best thing for your health?
    
13. I can't be seen with you anymore because you're looking better than me.
    

Make it 14 things never to say. Here's one my son-in-law said yesterday . . .

14. You have to eat like this for the rest of your life, sucks to be you!

These are classic. I go in for sx July 14, 2016. I'm excited but I work with a lot of people who will have allot to say.
