Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I don't want to talk about it anymore....



Recommended Posts

so im 10 months post op. kinda at goal (ish) might go a little lower. i work in a place with 2000 people. every single day i have to hear something about my weight. you look great! or OMG you're so skinny (not in a good way). or you're wasting away! etc etc.

is it bad that i just don't want to talk about it anymore??? i'm just over it. the journey is long and hard and now i just want to move on and "BE" without having to think or talk about my weight or body anymore. i just want this to be the existing 'me' and not have to be reminded every single second of every minute of every hour.

am i gonna have to quit my job so i can go somewhere where people just see this me as the regular me they've met and will know moving forward?

when does the journey become something in my past that gets to stay there? i feel like im not even getting to be THIS me cuz the old me is on my back still.

end rant

Are you seeing a therapist? You make almost the exact same post every week.

Maybe you need someone you can discuss all the changes you are going through with that will support you and offer you advice on managing your new life and feelings.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
