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 🙄

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
