Almost offended

Yeah psych field attracts a lot of kooks too...

Glittering generalization sure but many health food propietors have a tendency to be eccentric.

Idk, it just annoys me how some of the stuff they push isn't medically/scientifically substantiated. Maybe that makes me find them more annoying and thus critical of their sales tactics.

This is so funny something similar happened to me!! When I was pre op I had to meet with a shrink (due to insurance requirements) while I'm waiting a couple walks in I get called in. I'm the shrink no more then 10min I come out the couples wife gets called in. I'm waiting for the receptionist the husband waiting for his wife tells me "your making another appointment" I said "no I just want to give him the questioner " he has the guts to tell me "oh wow one visit and your fixed already" so I told him why I was there and crazy man tells me "god your so pretty already I could only imagine how your going to look after I wish I could see you after when your skinny man I see you already looking skinny and more beautiful" right then the receptionist walks I I gave my papers I smiled and left.

Wow. This is why my WLS is my business and no one else's. I hate busy bodies and personal comments, so invasive. Every time I hear a story like this it just reinforces my decision to keep it private. Sounds like you handled it like a lady (more than I would have done LOL). I order my stuff online.

From that reply I suspect he and his wife were there for marriage counseling!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
