My best friend saw me after a couple of weeks and said...You have a bobble head. People have always told me I have a big head, but I can't tell because I look at it everyday. But my best friend...and now I am getting all of the...You are getting too skinny. My mom is the only one who is like...keep going...lose as much as you can. I feel like I could lose more and look ok. I am not even a size 8 yet :) I couldn't even stop losing weight if I wanted to. It is going where it is going. I really need some good come backs...I mean really good ones...that shoot an arrow straight back into their heart, but I am not that Witty. Suggestions.

I am, as of the morning, down 109 pounds. At 5'11" I am 182 :) On my doctor's scale I would probably be 178. I am still overweight :)

Let the comebacks begin!

"At least I'm not a knucklehead"?

Too light for me. I was thinking more like at least I am not a ***** But obviously I need to be smarter than just criticizing them.

I'm a bobble head because now that my body is losing all this weight, my head can't support my super intelligent, large brain

"Ouch!" This always works for me. How rude are they. Keep going as much as you can and take all your supplements for good health. I believe our bodies will stop when it's time. And besides, have you reached your surgeon's goal? WHAT about your goal? Your doing fine. ;)

I think people call you too skinny because they are too lazy to adjust. They are used to relating to the larger you and it requires too much depth of character for them to realize that you are the same person.

Too skinny in what way?

Healthwise? Have them site their medical reasons and test results.

Aesthetics? Every see a super-model?

Survival? Expecting an extended famine and the extra fat will be needed?

Sheesh!

If I wasn't married to a people I wouldn't have anything to do with them. :angry::D

"You have a bobble head."

My comeback: "A pinhead would think that!"

Wow. If my best friend told me I had a bobble-head, I'd probably just cry... and then I'd let her know that I appreciate her support so much, but I still have a ways to go. Maybe something like, "Yeah, I know I look a lot different from before, but I'm still not where my doctor and I think I need to be, so when you say stuff like that, it hurts my feelings"? I don't know. I can't really be coherent when my feelings are hurt--I could later, though! I always come up with great stuff later!!!

When someone was sort of rude to me (she said she had lost a lot of weight, too, but she did it "the hard way"), all I could say was, "Congratulations on your loss"--because I don't think she intended to be rude. If your friend was teasing you, okay, but you could certainly let her know that it sort of hurt your feelings! You rely on her support and honesty, but you also need to be reassured (like everyone else! including her) that you're okay, and it hurts when she says stuff like that.

      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.
