Gaining weight..

Maybe this should be under the "What is the rudest thing someone said" post, but her goes.

I got my lapband 8 years ago and was at around 120 lbs (way below my goal weight for my 5'7 height). This was due to a special diet I had to be on. I looked way too thin and just plain sick. So, I had some Fluid taken out of my band and gained some weight, up to 140 lbs, which is probably a healthy weight for me. A physician that I work with came up to me and whispered "have you gained weight?". I explained that I was way to skinny and needed to. He said "you are getting chunky". What the ^&*$ !!! I tried to laugh it off, but it really messed with me. I know I am healthier, but darn if now I am concerned about my weight! Arghhhhhhhhhhh!

Face it, some people feel like they have the right to say what they want. Don't make your life's decisions based on some rude sobs comments.

I hate when someone asks how much weight you lost....and they say really?!?!?!. Omg I could just scream!

He is a douche… You know your body better then anyone. Good job on the weight you lost and Good job for knowing when it was too much!

As my child would have said "you can judge people when you are perfect". That was very rude. You know your body better than anyone else and you know what is right for you. Keep your chin up.

I get mad when people who know I have the surgery constantly ask me how much I have lost so far. Like "none of your damn business!" That's how much!
