Sure they are allowed to have their opinion, but an uneducated opinion is what erked me in the first place! It wasn't so much that they said it, it was the way it was said, and the way that is was emphasized by both Rosie and Joy. Mindy-- I too find that I make comments to myself about people who are overweight etc even though I was once in their shoes... it just goes to show that no one is perfect! :D

I WAS TOTALLY ADDICTED TO REGULAR COKE:tired . IF SHE THINKS GIVING UP THAT WAS EASY SHE IS CRAZY. I GUESS AN EASY WAY OUT W/ WLS WOULD BE IF I COULD STILL EAT LIKE I USED TO AND WATCH THE FAT MAJICALLY MELT AWAY WHILE I STUFF ANOTHER BROWNIE IN!!:heh: WHEN THEY INVENT THAT I'LL SIGN UP FIRST!!

REALLY THOUGH, THIS IS A STRUGGLE TO CHANGE OUR ATTITUDES AND WAY OF LOOKING AT food FOR LIFE. THAT IS NOT EASY AT ALL FOR ANYONE, WHETHER THEY HAVE A LAP BAND OR NOT:phanvan .

IF I STILL DRANK 4-5 REGULAR COKE'S A DAY...HOW MUCH WOULD I HAVE LOST..........:D:) ...........NOTHING!!!! HOW IS THIS THE EASY WAY OUT? ROSIE AND THE VIEW ARE JUST STUPID AND UNEDUCATED ON THE SUBJECT OBVIOUSLY!!

JUST MY 2CENTS!!:)

Hey, no offense taken :D I am still in the process of learning and losing (still a fat gal :) )

I am learning that there are so many ways to look at things and this is a great venue for bouncing ideas off others then hearing constructive ways to look at them differently. Thanks Mindy for your candor.

I am not sure how anyone could call surgery the easy way out. I have struggled with weight my whole life, literally,, 9lb baby,,, I am tired of being the fat girl and having people look at me differently. Maybe if the sterotype that everyone should be a size 4 would go away, we would not have to stress out so bad about our weight.

It is sad that people are judged for trying to get healthy.... I don't think rosie and joy realize all the therapy and test you have to go through to even qualify for surgery. I am really dissapointed in the comments they made.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
