Getting Called Fat After WLS

I have a little rant about stupid insensitive people who don't know how to keep their mouth shut.

Why do people feel the need to tell you that you are fat...

Its like .... what!!! No way! I never knew i was overweight.. i got my stomach cut off because i thought i was thin! I dieted for years because i was bored! I have spent the last month eating like a mouse because i have nothing better to do!

I had the sleeve 4 weeks ago... and finally it is starting to show physically.. so i was feeling so good about myself.. until BAM!

Some idiot at work felt the need to mention that i was "chubby" and that i am lucky i don't hurt myself.

Mind you i am 5'7" and 216 pounds.. and a size 14... i thought i hold my weight really well.... even my surgeon said i don't look what i weigh...

I just wanted to punch this guy in the face.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    oooooo. I'd have said - I bet I'm less likely to hurt myself being fat than you are to hurt yourself being stupid!

This is posted in the "rants and raves" section for exactly that purpose... to rant.

Please do not tell me how to post or what to say.. as irrational as they may seem to you.

I am entitled to let of some steam, in whichever manner i deem appropriate.

Assault is a perfectly acceptable response to an unkind word in these forums? How childish.

"When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

Are you taking what we say as literal?
I've found that people who make irrational statements tend to be irrational. And irrational people tend to behave irrationally as well.

You are living proof. ;)

Shhhh.... It's ok. Ignore the irrational. ;)

(A) Some idiot at work felt the need to mention that i was "chubby"

(B) I could get on a flight and come down there and help you punch him in the balls.

(A) Tell him that you told your parents what he said and that they are cross with him: They didn't want you to know until you were older.

(B) Nothing wrong with a visit, but punching him in the balls probably needs no more than one hand.

G'day @@Fredbear

"When all is said and done... Shhhhhhhh..."

Im about 98% sure i am a girl..... my saggy boobs are proof!!! Hahaha

Easy, there,@@Fredbear, easy. Very slowly move your hands away from your crotch -- it's in no danger here -- and place them on the table. Now clutch a cup of coffee and drink like hell.

(I won't take time to get a pic of a police officer.)
