initiallyh my pcp id not agree with WLS, but after time and seeing that I was getting nowhere with diet alone, he caved and also saw pst-op my strides and he is so happy and h has actually changed his mind about lap band surgery, but not the bypass... I also told prople that saaw the weight loss as HIGH Protein LOW CARB DIET and EXCERSICE...nobody bugged me after that

Hi I am ayear + post-op and doing well...I still feel your pain and still get stupid comments such as the ones you described...and envisioning wearing small sizes does not work...surgery does. When a work, I did not disclise my surgery to anyone and i THINK THAT it is propab;y the best way to handle. I donot freely divulg my little secret, but that is because I caught so much crap from people that said that I wqould be foolish to have surgery..do weight watvchers etc repeatidly...sometimes it is better not to dicuss these issues nless you really know the other person well and they are non-judgmenta, and undersatnd weight issues...

same issue for me...I eat little and my weight loss is so slow and is gtting me disocuraged too. I just do not know....

take things slowly.. i am 100 lbs on my journey...lsot that amount already dr still says i can lose another 30... good luck!

I get what you are saying and am right in line with you on all your points. I get it. How are you doing now?

:smile::cool2::smile::thumbup:I totally understand what you are saying. I still, 7 months later, have still not told co-workers and other people, that I did the surgery. It is not embarassment, but so many people have had negative comments about WLS. I am succeeding, but my boss has failed. I do not want to be linked to her failure, ergo, I do not tell people about my surgery. Smart or not, I do not want to be lumped into a failure category, when clearly I am not 97 lbs to date...still going strong too. It is like arebirth, without a doubt...how are you doing?

veggies do help[ a lot
