Most absurd thing people said to you when you told them you were having WLS?

I am a slow weight loser though.

...slow weight loss is still weight loss! Keep chugging along, doesn't matter how fast we get there - just that we do

And when that weight drops and you in w bikini and they are in a tankini and shorts at the beach you can say what have you done to improve your healthy life... these negative nellies don't make my life go round I do. And you know what I have no health issues any more.

I was told by a doctors m. a. that I "wasn't that big" and "have you tried dieting?" Are you kidding me??

....literally the next day after surgery, I was wheeled to radiology trying my best to keep my nausea at bay and not throw up...I somehow swallowed the IV contrast and kept it down (albeit I have no idea how) and found myself holding on by a thread. The radiologist walked in , looked me up and down and said " REALLY? WAS THERE A NEED FOR YOU TO DO THIS?! YOU ARE NOT THAT BIG!!!!!" Me, fresh off my pain pump, told him to go F&CK himself and that I would be sure to let my surgeon know he was questioning his ethics by operating on a person "NOT THAT BIG". BTW...250 lbs on a 5'4 frame...isn't LITTLE! SIGH.

Yup, almost the same experience, so I switch it. Instead of say I lost this much because they cannot comprehend it. I say yeah I lost a 3 year and a 7 year old 70 pounds, etc. I said to one of my girlfriends pick up your three old. She did, I said be muscle relaxed and feel his weight. She said holy ****. Then I told to pick up her 7 year old and do the same my last words to her was that is what I was carrying a around. Now she respects my decision.
