WHAT GETS YOU

[mstrice 89]

What gets me is, when someone says “you’re not that big you shouldn’t go through with it”. Then I say oh really where you got your degree at because if my PCP & surgeon say I can benefit from it I am good, and I guess the insurance company just like to spend money but okay.

Yasss!!! I'm going thru that too!! My BMI is like 35 but I have health issues..all I'm hearing is "just work out you will lose weight" "why are you doing this".

I've been overweight all my life, I've tried every diet you could imagine!!! I need help!!!

You are not my body, keep your opinion to yourself!! Smh...so I know what you mean. It's so annoying.

I feel that way when people give me dieting advice too. Like this guy at work lost a little bit of weight and all of a sudden he had a PhD! Didn't know you could get them that fast!

Honestly, I would just say, "Hm. Well my doctor disagrees, so I'll just go with his opinion..."

I've always been heavier than I look. I weigh 235-38 depending on the day, but I have thick thighs & hips & a lot of it is muscle. I'm thick through the waist & have broad shoulders for a woman also. When people say a person is big boned, they are speaking of me. My hands are the size of most men's. But I'm only 5'5" now since I've shrunk an inch.

I see & feel every pound I am overweight, I can't breathe easy walking upstairs or for long distances. I have bad knees. But my husband is not supportive of this procedure, he is a physical ed & health teacher, with Athletic Training & Strength/Conditioning degrees also. He coaches our Powerlifting team at high school. So he is insisting that I just need to exercise this 80-90# off, even though I gained it all back the last time I lost 60#. He refuses to eat right himself, he is very overweight also, he stops at the store & buys soda, chips, & Snacks for late night munchies for him & the kids. He isn't going to be a support for me during this. I still haven't told him that I scheduled the consult tomorrow. WW3 may just break out inNorth central Ohio tomorrow evening when he finds out where I was.

Oh dear. I am so lucky to have a supportive husband. You do what is best for YOU. And if you don't get support from him, find it everywhere else you can. Like here!

My mom is my biggest supporter, although she would prefer I not go through with it, she is still supporting me so much so she is doing the pre op diet with me, my mom is 5’6 140 pounds so she’s doing it to show her support for me I just love her.
