Michele - That's horrible. I cried just reading it. People can be so cruel. I'll never understand why they think it is acceptable to behave in such a way.

MicheleK, Oh hun, that is never right for anyone to do!! He was just down right cruel and evil.

But you know what? His karma will come and bite him on his ass.

You just put what he said out of your mind, people like that aren't even worth the scrapings from the bottom of you shoe sweety. I know it is easier said then done, but in the end he will always be a total asshole but you will always be a loving person

This thread makes me wonder why it's not considered a hate crime or discrimination when overweight people are treated horribly. And why people of every economic class and education level think it’s acceptable to be mean spirited, cruel and downright hateful to overweight people.

Case in point my friend was walking down the street downtown one Friday night going to a club and a group of guys in a BMW threw a huge 64 oz fountain soda on her and screamed whales die without Water and drove off laughing. Needless to say our evening was ruined and I know it has haunted her ever since.

Or better yet if I had a dollar for every time a random stranger (usually a woman) has told me “you have such a pretty face, you really should lose weight then you would be so much more attractive”. REALLY? SERIOUSLY? I NEVER thought of that! And then the appalled look on their face when I don’t act all thankful for their “kind” words. If I am in a sassy mood I usually pop back with well I can fix the weight but you can’t fix stupid!

Just my two cents!

      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.
