Negative comments - not "fat enough"?



Recommended Posts

Try to take it as an educational moment, obviously they are ignorant of your health, they are not your doctor, you might just let them know that, nicely, and then explain, weight has been an issue, and I not able to beat it, for whatever reason, I need this tool. It will help me be healthy, I hope you can support that, because it isn't really a discussion, my health, that I feel you need to put your 2 cents into. I don't question you about yours, I think our friendship will be healthier if we accept each other and not try to debate personal choices. I am an expert on me, and so is my doctor, but please don't take my being honest with you about asking, as an invitation to interject your personal feelings, it just wasn't, and won't ever be.

I honestly do not think i am required to prove a damn thing to anyone. I once had a co-worker (who conveniently was a stick) tell me that "she doesn't approve of these kind of procedures." Well that's nice, when you weigh 300 lbs and are on your feet all day, you'll get an opinion. Until then, bite me!

I may not be the size of a truck, but that doesn't mean I won't benefit. At 5'4" and 262 starting, I carry all my weight in my chest, upper arms and thighs. If i turned around too fast I'd sprain one of those things. To all those twits with inappropriate, unasked for opinions. Picture that and I bet that'll be that last question you ask me...lol.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
