I used to try to convince myself that these people mean well

I for sure try to take the comments differently depending on intention.

Okay, you can stop losing weight now. \\ days later \\ You are stopping, right?

It's been fast - Is a good health thing or a bad health thing?

But.... mannnnn, that first type.

Honestly, the second can be rough too, but at least well meant.

I've stayed pretty well away from the outside commentary, but the very first person to comment on my weight lost positively was the first to comment about it negatively.

Though, I will say my circle is used to me having chronic, non-weight-related health issues.

FWIW, my health got worse the more weight I've lost. [ Especially the transition to a Healthy WeightTM. ]

I (and my doctors) did not expect my health conditions to improve in any specific way, but a decline is just r.u.d.e..

I am not saying I was not a recipient of the Importance of Weight Loss Soundtrack - most just didn't bother claiming it would help.

So I can see why most leaned towards - concern - before normal weight judgement.

^ The person above is more in the small talk/friendly greeting outer circle.... sooo yeaahhh.

I'm getting even more annoyed about it now because I'm actively trying to NOT lose more, so the comments are really unnecessary. I'm aware that I look very boney and gaunt. I don't need you drilling it into my head even more, thx so much 🙄

      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.
