I've had some coworkers recently warn me "don't lose too much weight! I mean, you're a big guy. You need some weight on your frame."

It's nice. Kind of. But it also made me feel a little angry. I mean, they obviously didn't care much when I was so heavy I had multiple medical conditions - but now, they want me to stay heavy? Why? So they can continue to feel superior to me for being in better health? So they don't have to change their mental picture of me if I'm thin? It's amazing how one person making a positive change can draw out dysfunction in everyone else.

I would also, at the next party function beat them to the punch and announce your surgery.

Put yourself before they do and give them a taste of their own medicine I say

I was talking to my husband today. He brought up his mom was planning to have another surgery. She's one of those people who if the dr says surgery is a last option she will push and push until she gets the surgery even if it's really not needed. She loves the attention and sympathy. Well my husband said his dad was telling him yesterday his mom has started mentioning WLS for herself. I knew that even tho my surgery was "stupid" she would eventually get jealous enough to try to go that route herself just for the attention. I told my husband part of me really wants to throw all her rude unkind words back in her face, but I'm not stooping to her level. I just won't say anything all Bc that will eat her up even more.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
