You're not drinking enough Water. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you tell others? Do you feel embarrassed or ashamed?
Ar_U30 replied to JuniperBug's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I can imagine because my partner has pcos and a failed WLS and she is very active. So active that she injured her knee and had to have surgery. That's part of the reason I'm doing this. I'm scared to be active and injure my joints which are already weak. I agree, this is a decision for me, and I don't really care what most of my peers think. But more than embarrassment I do fear judgement, misunderstanding, and losing friends. But then again I think that the people who would hold WLS against me probably already hold my obesity against me and probably shouldn't be my friends anyway. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Juniper,I too had ACL tear back when I was 230lbs. Had knee surgery lost about 40 lbs in 3 months. After that it has been just a battle to get everything under control. I've too struggled with sinical comments about my weight and references about when I was thinner... people don't check themselves before pointing fingers and becoming judges of your body and weight. I left that all behind. Although it bothers me at times, I've moved on, got my surgery done and hope to get back to the streets and start running and playing soccer. If I'm content with me and I accept my struggles and work hard to fix my body, I don't need nor accept anyone's comments. Who the hell are they to comment about my well being??? Keep it going...

I agree. I went through similar struggle. I decided to opt out of surgery in the USA and went to Mexico. Best decision ever! Sleeve only 4k Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

I would recommend getting the flavored Protein Water servings. Youll getting your protein and water intake all at the same time. I'm struggling with the water and protein as well, I only get slight hunger pain I think, I drink some liquids and goes away. It takes me about 1.30 hour t get about 8-10 Oz of protein down, so my Soups and water have to do the rest. I was sleeved on 12/5... Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'm keeping my whole thing a secret. Not because I'm ashamed or embarrassed, but most people even, even close friends have become extremely judgmental. I am in no position to explain my decision to no one, therefore, easiest way to go about is not mentioning it at all. I am doing it for my one well-being and No one elses. I've always been active, but I've developed diabetes, pcos and hormonal imbalance, imagine explaining to people why you can't loose weight even with all the workout you do. Me, myself and I are the only ones in charge of this beautiful body that God had put in this world. Therefore there's no explaining to do to no one, but me!. You need to be at peace with your self. You're doing it for you, not to please the world. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
