What the.......



Recommended Posts

I was at my kids skating party last night and I was talking to another parent sitting at one of the tables and one of the people she was sitting with said "hey you look like that girl from the View" pretending that I didn't know who he was talking about, I kinda ignored it. Then he screams "I know who she is, Rosie O'Donnell!!" What the hell, was that supposed to be a compliment??? Nice...... I can't wait for my band, people used to say I looked like Brooke Shields!!!!!

Sorry that happened to you. I'm sorry but I can't imagine anyone being pleased with that comparison. That person must be lacking in the tact department.

That's funny, Linda. I was in to much shock that he would do that, that loud, for me to have a quick comeback. Anyways, it definately made me less scared about having the surgery. LOL

She's just jealous! I'm sure you still look just like Brooke!

Good luck next Monday... I'm going the same day...

In a few months, please will say you look just like Jessica Alba (just getting younger and younger every day)

I think without missing a beat I'd have started sniffing as if something were amiss, "Hey, why does it suddenly smell like a stall around here?"

<pause>

"Oh, because there's a horse's ass nearby. Sorry!"

Like I said, it totally motivated me. My fear about surgery is almost gone, now I just want it over with. It was very humiliating, especially in front of the whole table. I mean was I supposed to take it as a compliement? I could of told him, yeah you look like one of those slobs on the Sopranos, but I think I have class and an am careful of other people's feelings.

I've got a story like that - was sitting in my bosses office one day - he is talking to a collegue on the phone on conference call - and they were discussing a doctor who does gastric by-pass - he says "all he does is sit around down there and talk to fat women" --- then looks at me and says "no offense"

I'm like WTF????????

      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.
