13 Things You Should Never Say to A Sleever



Recommended Posts

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.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
