I've had this happen all the time now and I havent even lost all the weight i need to. I have men at work who were saying after surgery they want to date me. I told them no. lol But there are people who I never even talked to here saying hello to me now. its sad but I expected it.

I currently am experiencing this. Food makes me sick smelling it or tasting something. Everything feels heavy in my stomach. Ive had to avoid meat most times cuz it makes me gag. Been eating beans and broccoli to get protein in or tofu. Fruit,cheese, and bread has been my lifesaver if I need to get food in that I know wont make me feel heavy as heck.

I did not, I stayed the same weight for maybe a week but that was it and it was close to my 2 months mark. Im gonna be 3 months next Tuesday and ive lost 68 lbs since surgery. (SW 369)

This is more so just a rant I guess, ever since I began this weight loss journey and trying to get to my final goal of gastric bypass I have had countless people tell me surgery is the easy way out and I've had people pretty much judge my worth based off of how fat or skinny I am. I had someone at work tell me how I would look better once I lost the weight which I agree but she went into detail about my face and how fat it was. How my eye lids have too much skin on them which I'm not sure what she's talking about because my eyes look normal? She then proceeded to tell me how going to the gym and eating better and drinking water would help me. I've been following my dietician, I've been drinking more than 64 oz of water a day and doing my workouts and she just said "oh". Mind you she weighs 110 lbs telling me all this with her fast metabolism. I guess I'm just extra self-conscious now and I wish women especially were more empowering.

Scheduled for gastric bypass surgery on Sept. 11th. Going to my Pre-Admission today, pretty excited to get this moving quick. 🤩

I had my consult sometime in the middle of March 2023, I had to do 2 dietician appointments that couldnt be in the same month so one in April and the other in May, had to wait 2 months for a spot to open for my psychiatrist appointment, that was in June 2023. I had scheduled my EGD appointment in the beginning of April but couldn't get in until July since they were booked up, I will tell you to schedule the EGD as quickly as you can since it can take a while to get in. Waited for results from EGD for a week and waited another week after that for my psychiatrist to submit paperwork. Two weeks later I got the email/message in the MyChart saying I got approved for surgery and I'm currently waiting for my surgeon's office to call to schedule the surgery with my surgeon which should be today. So my start was March 15th 2023-Aug 14th 2023 for my date of approval. I also had to do bloodwork but that could be done whenever I wanted at Ohio health and I had to get an abdominal ultrasound but that also didn't take much time, maybe a week but I wouldn't take my time scheduling that if I were you cuz it can take some time if where you're going is busy. For reference I have Cigna Insurance.

Thanks for replying to my post everyone, I've read all your comments and they made me feel better about the situation. I dont usually react to people when they say insensitive things to me since I've dealt with that all my life but something about that day just set me off. I love the responses I got and know they're much appreciated. Also I wil be taking some of the advice of not telling anyone who isn't very close to me in the future to avoid this situation again. I should've thought about that before I said it to her but a lesson learned.
