Future sister in law not happy with my sleeve



Recommended Posts

Sounds like jealousy in the ugliest form. Remember, she is the insecure one with major issues. I know it's tough for some to stand up to someone that has been downright mean, but for your sanity, and future relationship with this girl, a good "heart to heart" might be in order. One thing that I always told loved ones when I was eating smaller portions and losing weight is; "I'm under the care of medical professionals, and they are ecstatic with my weight loss, and my food intake so no one else needs to be concerned with my weight or my diet at this point. Thanks for your concern".

I think what you are failing to realize is that your sister in law has ALWAYS been intimidated with you and has low self esteem issues that she needs to deal with. What a lot of people don't know is that everyone who is skinny doesn't feel pretty and unfortunately sometimes they aren't, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty also comes from the inside out, which she seems to lack in that area. I myself have felt pretty and confident even while being "fat" - maybe not as pretty, but that can be expected. You and your mother are not going to be able to change the way she feels with all of your kindness because she is the way she is and until she becomes a happier person on the inside it will continue to reflect on the outside. That is something only she can change. Who in the world would even be jealous of their husband's "sister" anyway? That sounds plum crazy, however, maybe she is LOL.................but that's not your problem to worry with. All you can do is pray for her honey, live your life, enjoy your progress and keep a smile on your face because what was going wrong for you in your life and bringing you down (your weight) you are changing that for yourself. Now she needs to deal with whatever issues she has going on and fix them because it has to stem a whole lot deeper than being about JUST YOU that's for sure. She doesn't even have enough confidence to ask questions about "you" to you. So while you haven't gained your self confidence back yet.........let's start working on that right now today because you are doing GREAT and it is showing AND this isn't even "your best" yet. Don't be intimidated by her or anyone else because I'll bet that she won't be the only "hater" that you gain by getting your smaller self back :-)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
