skinny friends don't get it!



Recommended Posts

I thought I was imagining things, but I too think that people who have always been skinny never get weight loss and how hard it can be. Luck for me I have a really supportive family and one of my best mates who has lost a lot of weight so know what its like.

I too have friends like that. I am really close with my friends family and they are always saying can't you just watch what you eat? Well if I could contol myself 24/7 would I look like this? I feel like saying thats a stupid question. And its always the skinny ones. My friend is skinny and she was like I know how you feel I was fat when I was younger. 1st of all she was young and she was chubby at best. She tells me can't you just eat what you want but in small portions? Yeah in theory I suppose I do but it almost never happens. I eat fairly healthy. I swear I could eat just lettuce and stay fat. Finally we were talking about my wanting surgery and she was finally starting to think in a different way. She said well I guess your right you do have genetics playing a roll. She eats what she wants and stays thin so she couldn't possibly get it even though she thinks she does. I think what made her different view was because I was trying to educate her on it. And I told her that chances are if I diet alone I may lose some but will never lose all and it would be a constant yo yo as it has in the past. I have a bad back I've had surgery and my back can hardly carry me around and I want kids and to live life like everyone else gets too with out worrying about wether or not people are judging me and staring at me and giving dirty looks. I don't know about you but I have this thing when I grocery shop I feel like people judge me by looking at whats in my cart. Its always healthy things but I feel like by the way they look that they are thinking they were going to find 6 boxes of twinkies and 2 gallons of ice cream just because I'm fat.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
