Why do people act like you get a BBL? lol it’s a weight loss surgery! There’s still so much work to be done! No ones walking out with an hourglass figure

agreed.

but in the defense of the BBL-ers, ain't nothing wrong nor judgeable with those either!

love and speedy recovery to everyone who chooses to have surgery, no matter what kind of surgery that is ❤️.

Aside:

*rant begin*

seriously, the amount of dupes and delays in posting on the BP forums the past couple months has been quite annoying.

*rant over*

@Alex Brecher : assist?

We need an upgrade! I hope to have one in place over the next few months. I appreciate the feedback.

Hopefully in the update, they’ll fix the background and text color so that you can see what you’re typing when you’re posting on the original post. I mean you can see obviously when you’re replying to somebody but when you go to make an original post you can’t see anything because it’s a black background with black text or dark blue text or something. That would be a nice change for the update.

Exactly haha! They seem to see it as an easy way out, and I haven't even had the surgery yet and I know it is going to be one of the most difficult things I have ever done.

Plus, I imagine those same people would probably get actual cosmetic surgery like a BBL and consider that okay, when in reality they could just 'work harder', and have the 'willpower' to do squats every day haha!

Either way, I'd never judge anyone's choices as to what they do with their body, so I don't know why we are judged so harshly when it comes to giving ourselves a chance to live a better life and to greatly improve our health!

How have some of you dealt with comments such as these?

My two word response to anyone who comes at me with anything other than less than 100% support... f**k off.

It's not my job to educate you or seek your approval. Get on board, or get out of my way.

Exactly this. Why feel the need to explain to judgemental people? Judgemental people will always judge, these are the same people who fail to look inwards or at the mirror. Next time ask "did I ask for your opinion?" Also "I expect support from my family and friends, but f you can't do this - keep quiet!"

I have to say, I agree with this and will be using that from now on!

It is strange how we feel the need to explain, when really we owe them nothing at all!

Thank you for the advice! x

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
