I've lost 70 pounds and 3 dress sizes in 6weeks and my own grandma let me know how disappointed she is that i'm not skinny yet. Yeah, people suck. But you've done an awesome thing for yourself and others. Be proud, and rock that sleeve!

Can you believe that? Are you supposed to be skinny overnight?

I met with a friend today who told me that somebody had commented on my weight loss. They said I must not be doing something right because I've only lost 65lbs since surgery on October 22. Thankfully she is a good friend who has had bypass and knows how the journey goes. So she stood up for me and said' date='" Actually, I think she's ahead of schedule." I wasn't mad about the comment, but intrigued on what would make somebody say something like that when they really don't have a clue. This isn't a rant but more of sharing. Just think it's funny how people are still so judgemental even after a person has lost so much.[/quote']

My sister thought that after I had surgery I would be significantly smaller. She thought they were taken the fat from over my abdomen out unsteady of cutting the actual organ stomach.

You had your surgery one month after I had mine and you've lost more than I have. (OP)

[Oliver's Mom 258]

First, congratulations on the weight you have lost! That is quite an accomplishment. Second, and just as important is that I LOVE your attitude. Some people just don't have any idea, and also no speed bumps from their brain to their mouth. I admire that you have the attitude that you do - that will serve you well in all aspects of life. Keep up the great work!! You go girl.

My fourteen year old daughter thought the same thing!!!

this is why I kept it to myself, people have crazy expectations once they know you have done something like this.

I met with a liver specialist recently. He knew I had had the sleeve. So I was surprised by his comment that my 70 pound weight loss "wasn't good enough." He felt I should have lost more by now. I was sleeved 7 weeks ago.

Ma'am you are doing wonderful!

Really afraid at what people will say at work so choosing to not tell anyone there. They are all so negative about everything. Sad really to think that what they say can affect me but trying to work through that. And it is usually always the women, and I know it is jealousy plain and simple! If they knew my weight loss was from an operation I can't even imagine what it would be like, has been bad enough when I was loosing weight on my own. Just saying!!!

Im with you! This is my thing to focus on for the next several months. I do not want to have to deal with any of the judgemental people i work with while i finally ake care of me! Past experience proves them to be way too judgemental, nosey and gossipy and i just dont need that right now.

People are just plain rude and jealous. I have lost around 90 lbs and someone posted a picture of me on FB. I had someone (not a close friend) send me a private message that said "I hope you don't take this the wrong way but you either need to lighten your hair or darken your eyebrows..just a pet peeve of mine". Really...not congratulations on your weight loss or I bet you feel so much better after losing that weight...my hair is the wrong color. Give me a break! I didn't respond right away...had to wait so I wouldn't make a rude comment back. I just said...well if my hair is the wrong color...tell God because it is the color he gave me...lol! I know my eyebrows are thin but not really sure what I can do about them...maybe I should have some tatooed on!! She sent me the phone number of someone who could tatoo them on! Go figure!

Let the Haters Hate! They are my motivaters I know I'm doing things right because they take notice and comment good or bad they notice! Any weight loss is an accomplishment and 65 lbs lost is no small achievement don't let anyone steal your joy during this journey! Some may not realize that they are being critical it's easy to be judgmental then be an encourager....Enjoy your journey it started with you and it will end with you this is your time and don't let anyone intrude on it!
