Are you kidding me?!?!?!



Recommended Posts

I'm starting to get those comments from family and friends....... "Surely, you don't want to lose any more weight....... You don't want to get too thin."

Are you kidding me?????? I still weigh 194 pounds and I still have an OBESE BMI. Of course I want to lose more weight, and don't worry...... I'll never be too thin!!!!!!!!

Remember...they are saying this based on how you used to look. If you do a before/after, it might seem like you are plenty thin and don't need to lose any more. I'm getting the same comments but you can also see by my ticker that I'm still technically overweight. I'm just eating the way I've been eating since I started this thing and the weight will stop when my body has nothing more to give up. My surgeon says I'm eating healthy so I'll just keep on keeping on. Have a great day in The Big Easy my friend.

Being fabulous has its perks, now does' nt it ? I agree with go walking, they're comparing you to your before and dont realize that you have'nt reached a healthy weight yet. Just tell them you and your Dr. have decided on a certain bmi, you'll Celebrate with them when you get there. Congrats on your weight loss so far ! Great job !

I've been getting the same comments lately. I still have about 40 pounds to go. I'm still "obese" for another 7 pounds. I laugh and then squeeze my tummy and say here's another 40 pounds, but thanks!

Some folks do not realize that they are not really helping with those comments. Along the same lines as How much you gonna lose, Aren't you at goal yet, or my personal favorite Are you losing weight because your sick.

Take care

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
