**RANT** WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY??? UUGGGHHH



Recommended Posts

I'm sooooo tired of hearing people say "don't lose anymore weight" or "your getting waaay to small etc etc..... Gessssh, when you're fat they have something to say, when you lose weight they have something to say. Why can't people just compliment you or keep their mouths shut.... All the EXTRA is NOT needed. If you think I look good GREAT, if you don't think I look good just keep it to yourself.....I don't want to hear my face is tooo thin or STOP LOSING WEIGHT.... Just let me be GREAT!

This lifestyle change is hard enough without people ATTEMPTING to make me feel self conscious.

People don't always act the way you want them to or tell you what you want to hear. I'd worry more about things you can control.


I'm not "worried" about it at all, its just annoying when people are coming at you allll day at one time with opinions. It just gets old and it's unfortunate that people don't think before they speak because you never know what someone is going through.

They always have something to say. One of the ones that I hear all the time is "eat a cheeseburger why don't you?" I also get tired of people asking me for "diet" help for them.

Oh my gosh yes! It is so frustrating. I have a lot more to go too, and I'm already "getting too skinny" for people. I'm only 3 1/2 months out. I also get told I'm not eating enough, and it's so unhealthy. Why can't people just mind their own business sometimes. haha

I hate to say it but I am to the point where I just want everyone to leave me alone. I know what I need to do, I know how I want to look and I know (with my surgeons help) what is best for me. I appreciate that people are concerned, curious or whatever, but the comments get real old real quick. I think what really did me in was when one person said, Its not AIDS is it? I thought we all learned in Kindergarten to keep our hands and feet to our selves and if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything.

SMH SMH SMH...... Now THAT is just rude..... I chose not to tell anyone except my mom and my husband that I had surgery so when people blurt out..."what kind of surgery did you have"??? I feel like telling them that if I did or didn't its my business and who are you to ask me such a thing..... But again, people Do NOT think before they speak and that's the problem...

Mostly I have had people ask me if I lost weight on purpose.... I find that an interesting question considering a was very obese. I share the surgery news with some people but others when I am asked how I am losing weight I simply say... eat less and walk more..... That is not a lie, I am doing that... but the rest is not most people's business.

Have better friends and associates? Like I seriously don't get these comments from people that know me.

People will good manners and home training wouldn't talk to you like that.

People just tell me I look good, nice, beautiful, whatever.

When you make a big change in your life, you get to see what people are really like and how much they really love you if at all. I am on like my 3rd major life change, so I braced myself for possible issues this time, but it didn't happen because previously I already thinned the herd of the people that don't want the best for me or are in general trash.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
