I just posted this on my Facebook page. My only comment was, would the person who wrote this email call Oprah a bad example? There is nothing wrong with being proud of who you are.

I have a crooked nose, so does this mean people should start telling me to get surgery? Why does obesity give people the green light to make comments and assumptions?

The news show did ask the guy to respond to her editorial, and he still showed his ignorance.

This is what I wrote on my facebook: WKBT's Jennifer Livingston addresses a bully who chastised her for not being a better role model for the community. In his unsolicited criticism Kenneth Krause noted, "Obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make." The man later released a statement suggesting Livingston "transform herself" over the next year. The man has no idea of her history or health, and yet he thinks it is OK to criticize her. Obesity isn't a choice; it can't always be fixed in a year. And just because someone is obese doesn't mean they aren't doing something about it even before you so rudely pointed out their obesity.

      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.
