Advice

IMG_1472.JPGIMG_1475.JPG

My husband says I look sickly in the face and lost to much weight. My highest weight was 291. When I started my journey I was 263. SW 249 now today I am 180. Dr says I lost 82 pounds since I stepped into her office and I am looking good. I was looking to loose another 15 pounds, but today someone else said I look sickly. I thought I looked good. Now concerned about loosing another pound.

I ate a cupcake when I got home. I wanted to cry

You do not look sickly at all, you look absolutely beautiful! What's more important is how you are feeling. I started getting a lot of negativity from family and "friends" about losing too much weight, tbh I think they're just having trouble adjusting to my changes. The only people who's opinions really matter are you and your doctor. Keep up with what makes you feel good about your body, and dont let other people bring you down. You are gorgeous!

Thank you!!!!


You don't look sickly, Sweetie, you look like your body has been through a grand transformation and is still adjusting. In six months you are going to be SHOCKED at how perfectly you fit into your skin!!!

Don't start emotionally eating now, you'll have let others opinions have sabotaged you again.

I agree, you dont look sickly! My Sister had her surgery 8 month ago & she's getting the same Crap from her hubby! I call it crap because thats just what it is! Since you feel you look good then you look gorgeous![emoji4]
Like it was mention our love ones & friends just havent adjusted to the new you as you have! So keep moving forward to reaching YOUR goal weight but if you have any concerns seek out a Bariactric doctor not a surgeon but a doctor who specializes in Bariactrics. They can help you maintain your weight or help you to adjust your diet if you feel your loosing too much weight! Other than that I think you are doing Great! Im only 1 month post op & only lost 22 lbs so far! So coodles to loosing 82 lbs!![emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

You look happy and healthy. As others might have said (didn’t read all comments) sometimes Friends, significant others and family have a difficult time coping with the weight loss. I’m only down 30 since late August surgery and my mom treats me like she wanted me to stay unhappy and progressively unhealthy forever.

Keep up the good work! [emoji854]

Thank you, KateBruin. 30 pounds from August is great. Don’t let anyone get you down. You are doing this for yourself not anyone else. Like you said family can not always cope with our weight loss and the physical changes. Congrats on your weight loss keep it going and sorry responding months later. Been having issues with my phone and app.
