Tactless People And Their Stupid Comments.



Recommended Posts

Why is it people who know you have had surgery think that it's totally ok to start their conversations with you or just plain ask how much weight have you lost? I'm much more than my weight loss! Not sure why it bothers me but it does... Only 2 weeks out so not back at work and coworkers etc are texting and asking etc

OMG...that's so rude. It would be nice if they would ask if u r doing ok or if you need anything.

I guess I'd have to hear how it was said....to relate to his comment I do feel almost normal now...sometimes people have a habit of ingesting their feet. Sorry it made you upset, some people are tactless.

maybe the people from work that are texting you are just excited for you. they don't know what's going on with your feelings and emotions right now so try not to get too upset by their inquiries. you are a beautiful woman now matter how much you weigh, just remember that when the stupid people open their mouths!

I get the same thing! People don't ask what's new or how I'm doing they just want to know my number. I'm proud of my weight loss yes but some times it's annoying!!!

Nothing like people who judge you for getting the surgery and think less of you for it because it's the "easy way out". I love those who I told I was getting surgery and they say "oh that surgery is so unhealthy, just work out and eat healthy!" work out and eat healthy you say? What is this black magic you speak of? I've never heard of that and certainly haven't tried it, Cookies are good for you aren't they? Fucking morons.

This surgery is not the easy way out. In most ways its harder than dieting. One day food tastes good the next (same food) not so much. It irritates me when people say that and judge. Walk in my shoes with my health problems and maybe you can judge me. Sorry just venting, just had this conversation yesterday....

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
