Bigtruk you know how to make a lady feel alright!!! Lol. Funny thing is, she doesnt say anything to me now. I order and keep it moving. Also the food is horrible so it isnt that hard..

Being apart of this site has given me much needed support and outlooks from other people. I am who i am and enjoy it. But i also enjoy exercising my right to choose was best for me. And in this case, lapband is where its at! Lol..

My husbands grandmother is the worst when it comes to "truth". She told me the other day that it looked like i was losing weight ( the gym paying off, yes!). Then she says " glad to see you doin something, you are the one who ate yourself that way"... and keys appeared in my hand and before i knew i was in my car?! Lol...my feet started moving and the rest of me followed. Sometimes people act like we all swallowed small elephants and became fat over night....

Several Years ago I was at a bar with my brothers and some of their friends and some guys came up to me and asked If i could settle a bet. They had bet how much I weighed. I never told anyone this. My brothers knew they upset me but not why. They chased the guys out of the bar. I have great brothers!

Once several years ago I was flying and I was squeezed into the seat but it was the window and I wasn't hanging over the middle seat as I was smushed up against the window....a fat girl's favorite trick. I was professionally dressed' date=' not sloppy but yes I was over weight.

The woman who was in the middle seat called the steward and asked to be moved. At first I thought it was because she was in a middle seat but then she proceeded to ask why they let fat people on the flight when it was so full and how she was uncomfortable sitting next to a fat person... She actually said.." What if it gets warm... That fat lady will sweat.". You should make her buy the whole row. Of course anyone within 5 Rows either way heard her and looked to see the fat girl. I was mortified.[/quote']

People are so cruel. You showed her.

IT DOES NOT MEAN I EAT EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY!!!

Went downstairs at my job today and was completely embarrassed. I went previously at 7 am and purchased Breakfast. It was then 8:30am. A coworker asked me to walk with them and i also needed to get some Water. The coworker and I were talking and we ended up at the hotbar waiting for his food. The attendant hands him his food and then looks at me and say' date=' very loudly btw," YOU ARE EATING AGAIN?!"

deer caught in headlights look consumed me. I had not asked her for anything. In fact i was picking up my water to walk away with the coworker. I said no and removed myself from the cafe area period. Luckily im not superficially sensitive but it hurts inside either way.

Anyone had any similar experiences or embarrassing moments when your weight has been " brought to your attention"?

My children, 4 & 5 do it all the time...

My daughter was 2 and always telling me I was fat so I started losing weight and lost 80 lbs had an asthma attack was put on steroids for a month and ended up gaining it all back. Frustrated I gave up and had to start all over 8 months ago for insurance to approve me. I'm praying I can find stability with the good habits I found while on my journey such as exercising and eating clean. My body needs the stability now. The cafeteria worker was an ass smh. They never know what will happen in life tHat may cause them health problems and your here which means you care about yourself. Good luck!;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
