Recommended Posts

Well this is a good way to release some of the pain! So when I was in high school I had the biggest crush on this guy I mean honestly to the point of stocking him (so stupid) well someone told him and he basiclly said I wouldn't go out with her what so ever but if you put a flag over her I would f**k her for the glory! Ever since I have had low self esteem but always made it seem like it didn't bother me this young boy hurt me and honestly I don't think I have ever forgiven him but even thou him and I are friends but his life is kinda sad he is a drunk.

I work in retail and was looking in a clothing rounder in the size smalls for a customer. There was a customer looking in that rounder and said to me " you know these are smalls". I was so mad.

The 2 that stick out to me:

1st- In elementary school, I was pretty chunky. Not super obese like now but heavy. I remember a kid saying something stupid to me like "I didn't know that whales could sit in chairs". I can't remember if I said anything to him but I do know that I cried at home that evening.

2nd- my ex husband and I met while we were both on shape and in the military. Over our marriage, a knee injury, depression, laziness, horrible marriage stress, his porn issues and gaining too much weight during a pregnancy all took their toll. When we were having a fight shortly before we split up, he told me that I "smell like a fat person sometimes". I bawled at that. I am a nurse. I have taken care of overweight people and know that certain areas can get a bit rank if not washed often and well. But because of that knowledge, I have always been a bit paranoid about my hygiene and I sure as h**l know that I was fine.

I hadn't seen a family member in many years and I had mentioned losing weight and he said "yea...what happened to you?"....and a couple years ago I was looking for a job after having my son and after a few interviews I was getting discouraged and another family member said "maybe they aren't hiring you because of your weight"...what's wrong with people?

I thought it might be FUN to ask you all what the rudest comment you have had is and how you responded!

I'll get it started: Last weekend' date=' I went for my hair appointment. I had not been for 9 or 10 weeks. When she saw me, she said, "You've lost a lot of weight...did you have gastric bypass?" I couldn't believe she would ask such a personal question...people sure are bold! I simply replied, "Nope, I didn't." And that was the truth! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modern/001_tt2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':redface:' />[/quote']

Like everyone I have had my share of nasty comments but the most hurtfull was when I went back east to see my Mom who I had not seen in 3 years. Her Very FIRST words to me were (not hello' date=' not i have missed you but) BOY DID YOU GET FAT AGAIN.[/quote']

My mom is passed since 2002 but she was exactly like that. She would comment how fat I was before asking how I was. My mom was a great person however and I forgive her. I miss her everyday.

I was with my stunning Gorgeous Mother at her monthly Nail appointment. My mother has never had a weight problem and is 4'11 Im 5'1.

As I am a professional Singer, my mother tries to brag about me and was eager to introduce her nail tech who's daughter also sings. I go to shake her hand and she surprisingly states, WOW YOU HAVE BIG DAUGHTER!

Needless to say we never spoke of music :(

As mother and I drove off, she noticed I was humiliated! She said Honey, she meant your Tall!

Yeah Mom thats what she meant....:/

I was always really skinny as a child & teenager. I gradually gained weight after my first year in college.

My mom took me to the doctor cause she thought something was wrong with me since my chest sunk in. The doctor just said I was to skinny.

I had a guy say he I was to skinny & would never want to date me.

So now after being known as the "skinny" girl in school I am so ashamed I avoid all my past school mates at all costs. I don't post any current pics on Facebook, don't go to class reunions or get togethers.

My father n law was looking at a picture of me on the wall from when I was in high school at said to my mom (while I was standing there) "she'll never look like that again". I didn't say a word but to this day I can't stand the jerk. He always makes rude comments & acts like he doesn't mean anything by it.

I have been asked when I'm due several times when I wasn't pregnant.

Wow this was quite the read. I've felt alone and as it turns out...I'm not alone on this!

1) I was late for work one day due to a doctors appointment. I always parked in the same parkade. The lady at the gate asks why I'm late. I say had a doctors appointment. She asks oh are you expecting. I just said no...drove to my stall and burst out crying.

2) at dinner with a bunch of family and complaining (quietly) to my mom that I had to buy a size 22 pants. My much larger cousin pipes up (very loudly) to the whole table...ya right a size 22!! Like I was lying about a plus size.

3) meeting my one true love again during his divorce. Called his house to speak with him only to have his daughter tell me he was at his girlfriends house. I was always the girl that was smart but not to be dated. (I will find him again after I've lost all the weight!)

4) my boss (who is short and.overweight) telling me that he was worried about my weight gain. I asked him that we must have met in a past life...my name used to be kettle and I'm sure that his name was pot?

5)recently vacationed to kauai with my best friend. She made a huge deal over me wanting dessert...embarrassing. I finally had enough and said you're right. Then I think she feels bad and requests the dessert menu. After all that!! We didn't end up ordering anything. There were three things I wanted to do but couldn't because of weight restrictions. Ziplining, tubing adventure, and a helicopter tour.

6) the best for last. Going to a retail store to shop for my mom with my dads credit card. A sales clerk walks up to me and explains that they don't sell anything over a size 14. (I was maybe a 16/18 at the time.) I left the store totally humiliated and in tears. I will NEVER shop in Suzy Shier...EVER!

There are many others that come to mind now that I'm listing them. I'm going to focus on me now...and feeling great about myself no matter what. I will go back to Kauai and do all the things I couldn't do...including ordering a dessert...even if I only have one bite. Its my decision and no one will make me feel bad. Ever...again. I'm super pumped about my decision. Perhaps my friend was jealous about it and lashed out in kauai? I told her that it was my last kick at the cat and I was going to go out with a bang. She seemed upset...the one person I thought would be the most supportive has been the least supportive! Oh well...up and on...my true journey starts on May 14th...I'm currently on liquids to prepare!

Thanks for sharing all...sorry this is so long.

When talking to a "friend" after a long time and recieved the usual "i cant get over how much weight you've lost" I finally said I had the band done and her response was "oh you took the easy way out, no diets worked for you?" ... Now we allll know how having the band is harder than ANY diet and more controlling than any bypass.. So i just blank stared and said "let me put a tight ass rubber band around your stomach and tell me how easy you feel, keep your opinion to yourself because you have not the slightest idea how difficult it can be, but worth every second, and id do it all over again because its f**king awesome and dont be jealous because i had the jewels to do it- Thank You, and excuse me I have a delicious Protein Shake to buy" and just walked off... Simpletons

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
