What's your "weight loss pet peeve?"



Recommended Posts

Hmmm, @@Babbs, I always order Water, and just don't drink it. It's easier on everyone. When I eat eat out, I always get three meals out of it, so that doesn't peeve me.

I guess what bugs me is when people don't mention the weight loss. Usually because they are being polite. I keep wanting to say "come on dude, I lost a good size child since you last saw me." But mostly I just smile and enjoy.

I usually did at first, but I found myself sipping before and after my meal just because it was there, so I just thought it would be easier not to order one at all. Little did I know it seems to completely blow servers minds for some reason, lol.

I thought of another one (gosh this makes me sound like I have so many peeves... I really don't think I do!). I had someone tell me "I think wls is great, I just think people need to diet and exercise first". It amazes me how many people think that this is easy and that if you get wls yoy didn't try anything else first

@@scarletwitch19 Well that's because it's how it portrayed. You and I know the truth, all of us who have actually experienced it know. People are ridiculous sometimes. I think I'm going to go around pretending like I know what it's like to have a penis....yep I'm the new penis expert, just because I've heard about them!! ;)

I think my pet peeve is when people say, "oh your husband must be so happy now." News flash people... My husband has been happy and loved me fat, thin, young and older. Why do people think your spouse is miserable if you are fat. That is my pet peeve.

I have not had that happened, but oh my gosh I'm so sorry people are so rude! People are so shallow. Last I checked love was about more than I size. At least it is in my book!

I don't know why people think it's ok to ask about your weight after surgery, no one ever asked me how much I weighed before my surgery, if I want you to know I will brag about it....or in this case add a lovely tracker down below ;)

I don't know why people's stories surprise me, I know people are a hot mess but I cannot believe some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths.

Mine isn't that bad, just something I am not used to. I have a husband and a kid that is almost 2. Now both of them know that I am not into sharing my food but we went out to eat and they were watching me like vultures. And when they knew I was slowing down they came in for the kill and raided my plate. Now pre surgery me would have been in the parking lot fighting them both but can they at least pretend that my food is mine??!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
