I hate the sterotypes associated with being fat. I hate it when a fat person on tv says they ate too many donuts or something. I have been overweight forever, and I NEVER sit around and eat donuts! This show has the sterotype that fat girls can't get dates. That's just crazy. When I was my heaviest I still got plenty of dates. I'm sure there are a lot of thin girls who don't get a lot of dates either. It's like the girls are blaming it all on their sizes, when in reality that probably has little to do with it. I met my husband when I was at my heaviest!

I had a hard time watching the show last night. The self-pity crap is sooooo annoying. I think these girls are full of crap. They are all saying that they want someone to accept them "the way they are", but clearly these girls are not happy with their bodies "the way they are" or they wouldn't be crying every time they talk about their weight. I don't know if I can keep watching....

GG - I feel the same! I watched it last night for the first time. We were channel flipping and I saw it so stopped it to watch. Not even recorded so I couldn't FF.

I got so sick of how they'd be 20-something crying and whining "no one ever has loved me" and "I just want to be loved". I never had issues and I've been fat since I was 10. They don't need a man's love, they need Jillian Michaels, or a therapist.

Where do they dig these nut cases up?

LOL...I was thinking the same thing. They need "The Biggest Loser", not this Luke dude. He doesn't even seem all that great to me. Yeah, he seems nice, but a great catch...I don't know.

I did like that he understood about them feeling uncomfortable.

Yeah, he does seem really nice and compassionate...but I have to wonder how "real" these people are. I personally would never trust anyone on a reality dating show.

Got a better one than this. Anyone watch Dance your A$$ off?

Give me a friggin break! :lol:

Just another kick in the A$$ for overweight people. They try to act like they are doing a "compassionate" thing briging obesity up front, but this is not the case.

These shows are rediculous

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
