Stop Watching Me....



Recommended Posts

What is it???? Why when people know you have had the surgery they watch you eat??? I had a coworker tell me" I see you been indulging a little bit lately." I was 5 second from going completely off. Don't the people know we still can eat certain things but everything is done in moderation. Damn..... :/

I get that at work and home! I dont "indulge" very much...but once in a while a little something sweet (and I mean a LITTLE bite of something...like a cookie) wont hurt me. I HATE people watching everything I eat too!!!

All of these post are the reason I only told my family and 2 close co- workers!! Ughh who wants to be judged 24/7, we've been through that before the surgery!!! Now the down side to none of my other coworkers knowing is... Everyone keeps saying wow you look great, what are you doing? Can you write out your entire routine and diet for me... Too bad their results will not be the same!!!

I haven't had surgery yet but I KNOW this will happen with everything I eat at work. I work with a whole building of busy bodies.

Good luck RnJsNana.. It's hard not to share the news with everyone because its so exciting!! I don't regret my decision not to share. My grandmother passed a week & a 1/2 before my surgery and I took it pretty bad. ???? So all of my coworkers thought I just took time off work to get myself back together & I never told them anything different! Truth be told I needed the time to grieve and recover...

Thank you. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother.

I've told everyone at work that I'm having the surgery because I figured that would stop some of the gossiping lol. But I've worked with these people for 25 yrs so I know it wont stop it LOL. But most of them mean well.

I haven't told people at my work but they do know that I'm on a serious diet. I was told that at least I'm doing it "the right way and not having surgery or starving myself." And they keep saying "when you can eat real food again"... So glad I haven't told anyone. It's no ones business but mine.

Yeah, that was one of the reasons I didn't say anything to people I work with. I got couple days off and came back saying nothing :) My family asks me to eat more, try more salad of grilled "whatever you eat girl". They don't try to make me fail, just don't get concept of small portions and smart meals... Hopeless cases!

I think that is very rude! If they are on the heavy side to them "if you watched what you ate as much as you watch what I eat you probably wouldn't look like that." I too chose to tell very few. I think only my husband, 3 ,my sister and favorite cousin know. the rest of my family is very judge mental and so are my in-laws so they won't know a thing. I'm being revised from the lap band to the bypass November 4th. I know some folks will call me a failure and I don't need or want to hear that. The band failed me. I only lost 30 pounds in 2 years and have stayed there since then. :( Can't wait for my surgery date to get here.

      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.
