Is there something on my face?

Ok, I had a weird day, so I thought I would share.

As most of you know I live in Portugal so fat people are a bit of a wonder here......however, I have noticed a lot more obese people in the last year or two. With that being said......I have probably put on a few more pounds recently, I guess since I found out about the band and since I'm on the list for surgery, I have kinda let myself go, eating things I usually restrict myself from. (I have to restrict myself all the time just to maintain my weight) but I'm up to 250 now from 225. (pretty much over the course of a year or so)

Right well, today I went to the mall with my husband, a totally normal thing, I go to that mall all the time, by myself, with friends, etc. But it seemed like no matter where we went today, people were staring at me. On the escalator, in the hall, at the restaurant, in the electronics store. I know that sounds paranoid, and I'm not usually very aware of other people around me...but geez... I stared eye to eye with at least 4 different people who were staring at me....they didn't even have the decency to look away. I looked at my hubby and asked him if there was something on my face, or something on my clothes and he said no (being charming as ever he said that people can't help but stare at pretty things) so I'm sitting here wondering what in the hell was going on today....can it be that the little difference in gained weight has made me soooooo big that people are starting at me now??? Or am I just paranoid? :paranoid

I think your just being paranoid. Bet those people are thinking the same thing you are..... WOW, what is that woman looking at...is there something green in my teeth, do I have a third eye? Are you sure your not staring at them? LOL

Take a deep breath, relax and don't let others bother you.

Oh and your DH sounds like a great guy.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

It's a joke.

Sounds like you have an awesome husband, congratulations. (Me too!)

I think its your whiskers. Or maybe the cute little pink nose you have. Oh wait, maybe they want you to lick them with your scratchy tongue?

Who knows, all people are wierd. I guess that include me too then huh?

Maybe it was the clothes you had on???

I know I'm being silly, I guess it was just one of those days were I decide the world is against me....:loco:

That's something I can say about my hubby, he always has a nice compliment for me....almost every day he tells me how beautiful I am...I know I'm lucky for that.....of course he evens the score by acting like a big 'ol baby most of the time...... so we are on even ground. Today he actually picked out his own clothes and he wanted me to tell him what a good boy he was for picking out a matching outfit!! :bounce: hehe...gotta love him though.....

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
