sarjblack 29 Posted June 16, 2013 Think we're all getting the same question. People are a holes When we were in the pre op room. My ex (she stayed at the hospital to care for me) said to me, "you could have tried harder, there are a lot more people that need this surgery more than you. You know you you could have done it yourself hit instead your taking the easy way out" I immediately asked her to leave. She the. Apologized and explained she would support me but she would never have made this decision for me. Look at all I had to risk and I was still willing to get it done. I refused to speak to her until I was out of surgery. I haven't brought up the topic since then. It just goes to show who really is there for you and those that aren't. Kristi, sounds like out real friends are about to show themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said "But now you have to make a commitment to diet and exercise anyway." Correct. I do. Before it was a choice. Now it isn't. It's do or die literally. 1 aba9903 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mel3620 299 Posted June 16, 2013 I loved 'oh you're not big enough to need surgery!!!!' At my highest I was 312 lbs and I'm 5'6. Heck yes I was big enough!!! Crazy people!

hautechic13 41 Posted June 16, 2013 One of my friends asked why I didn't just do diet and exercise instead of have the surgery. I. Hate. People. It's crazy & I will be honest I used to have that same thinking but after extreme dieting, up & down in the scale & so forth...you get to a point where you kind of feel lost...at least for me & that's when I got it...my low was being turned away on an amusement park ride! I still grapple with it because in my mind I feel like I should be able to conquer this on my own...but then I think that the fact that I am recognizing that I can't & accept the help & tools...that's courageous! I said all this to say @kristlynngirl to hang in there & I totally get it now!!! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk 1 kristlynngirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kristlynngirl 184 Posted June 16, 2013 Ugh even tho I haven't had anything but Water for 3 hours I suddenly feel stuck. What's going on? I ate a scrambled egg around lunch time. I took tiny tiny bites and ate it with a shrimp fork. But would it suddenly make me feel stuck 3 hours later? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
