I am over it.

So I haven’t told many people about me going through the process to have WLS my surgery is scheduled for July 3rd and I just don’t particularly care to hear about others opinions on it at this point in my journey. Well today I find out my grandmother is going around telling EVERYONE who will listen about me having the surgery. I. AM. PISSED. I didn’t even tell her about it so someone else apparently needed to share information about it as well. Now all I’ve heard all day is how I don’t need the surgery and how I don’t even look “big” enough to have the surgery. I’m 5’3 and weighed 250 lbs at the beginning of my pre-surgery weight loss. That is medically considered obese. I’m so frustrated right now and I just don’t know what to do about this situation. I can’t necessarily tell my grandmother to STFU lol. I tried telling her I wasn’t okay with her sharing that information but it didn’t phase her at all. I’m seriously going to lose it if I hear one more time that I’m being stupid or making a huge mistake. I don’t need the negativity when I’m this close to surgery. -

I had my sleeve 4-3-18. My husband knew and some other people knew, but not the date. I definitely didn't want his family knowing because they are drama fanatics. So, I told his Aunt because she invited us for Easter and I couldn't eat because I was on my pre op diet and I told her not to tell anyone. We told everyone else I was dieting. Well, guess what she ran her mouth and now won't even talk to me at all. Oh well, it's my life. I've also had people tell me I didn't need the surgery. I'm 5'2 and weighed 230 which medically is morbidly obese. Plus, I had co-morbidities. To hell with everyone else. I'm happy with my decision. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -

First, good luck to you. Take it easy. Forgive yourself. If you need to go home early, do so. It's part of your healing process. I'm lucky & have a desk job. When I was sleeved, I was able to work from home for basically as long as I wanted. I don't know if that's an option for you. Good luck. You are not alone. -
1 pointWishing you smooth sailing from here on out! So glad the bleeding was caught early and addressed.

1 pointBecause she also has some issues that contribute to the problem that aren’t her fault. I’m mainly just frustrated.

1 pointThis question is always a slippery slope. 1) There is no average weight loss post-op, some people even gain. 2) There are too many variables: starting weight, sex, health status, whether you had a pre-op diet or not, and age just to name a few. DON'T COMPARE 3) People lose at different rates. Some are slow and steady, some are fast out the gate and eventually slow down to 6 - 12 lbs a month. 4) Inevitably someone will read this and feel crappy about their own weight loss leading to a plethora of "I only loss..., what's wrong with me" post.
