I'm way past caring what people think anymore lol, the way I see it is that I am saving my life, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol ect ect , the side effect is weight loss. I am down to the last three stone and I'm expecting at some stage the " ypu have lost too much now" conversations. These are the issues of others not me. I'm too busy recovering to recover anyone else.

Wow! Hahaha, this is a great topic!!! I've heard so many things, but it always amazes me when people are rude. Its as though, they don't believe my transformation, and sometimes it seems like in a bad way. But whats really funny, my weight would be the same from the last time I saw them. I always wonder why they didn't notice last time.

One really nice compliment I received yesterday was, "Wow, you like just like you did in High School". I will admit, I am still beaming today from that one!! :D

Someone asked me if I had a girl or a boy? **** ive had a hysterectomy 15 years ago and my kids are on college ! Go figure . Always notice that men will compliment way before women. Amazes me that women I havnt seen for ever will not say a word like they can't tell I'm down 70 pounds!

I would never be like that. I'm always the first to compliment someone and cheer them on for their hard work!!! Some people :-(

I am in the insurance process of getting qualified but I have been told " you have such a pretty face you'd be so much prettier if you lost weight, really? and today my sister told me she's praying that I don't get the lapband, I told her don't do that I'm praying I will, and I'm not doing it for you, I'm going to be selfish and do this for myself no matter what she or anyone else feels.

Yesterday at work I had a woman walk by me, then stop, turn around and say, "You're tiny! Have you always been that tiny because you are tiny?!?"

Now keep in mind that I am 5'2" and 180 and therefor far from tiny, lol. But I am not going to lie it was good to hear. Especially considering a had a big fleece jacket on. Now with that being said had I not been 55lbs heavier 9months ago she probably wouldn't have thought I looked "tiny" :)

I bumped into someone in the kitchen at work whom I've not seen in months. Her reaction was "Where's the other half of you?"

While it's only roughly a quarter of my body-weight lost, it's still nice to hear.

One lady asked me if I was sick. I did not change my drivers license for 3 years, and when I pulled it out, people went WOW! I finally proudly changed it before my birthday! ( driving 100 miles round trip and gathering all the information for it was stopping me).

      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.
