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!

    I was gonna get involved in this until I saw mention of the 'genital region'... I'm staying right away now... I don't want my bits to inadvertently cop the wrath and scorn of a thousand angry, and p

HOW RUUUUUUUUDE

I know... but all the compliments ive been receiving during the last week are making up for it ☺

@ Keep up the great work!! Screw the haters!

:)

@@Christinamo7, Brilliant! I love your response.

@AussieGirl18, I guess this is one of those times when you just have to be grateful that you’re not as stupid and mean as some people in this world. Carry on!

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

Well.... i have a wonderful update...

Its funny how things have a way of sorting itself out.

Earlier today i was thinking about my weight loss journey so far... and how all odds are against me regarding my screwed up metabolism and how slow my weight loss is going right now...

So i got home and was curious how much i weighed when i had a full days food in my tummy.. just for comparison.

So i take out my scale and guess what??

Its broken!!! It absolutely died.... thank god!!!! I think its a blessing on disguise... now i can stop obsessing about thise stupid numbers and focus on me! Not what that psycho stupid scale yells at me in the morning.

So i have made a decision... i will not buy a new one... and will only get weighed at my monthly appointment with my clinic!

Hallelujah!!!! Peace at last!!

Punch him in the face?

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

Talk about the "down under"!
