Scrubs

I love this show. I think it's the best show on television, actually. But last night's episode really pissed me off.

Dr. Kelso talks a girl out of having gastric bypass, saying that she only wants to take the "easy way out" instead of "working at it".

*spit*

I know we're not bypass patients, but does anyone here feel like they've taken the easy way out?

Absolutely not! It's not easy going though surgery, giving up a lot of the things you loved to eat/drink and exercising all the time.

I love my band, it is the best thing I ever did for myself, but it is not the easy way out.

I saw the show lastnight, and I agree with you Jonathan. But don't forget, guttony is one of THE big seven. Since we are all fat, we are all gulttons, and are undeserving of any compassion. If we just had a little more will power... if we were just a little more righteous.. It took forever to convince my DH that he was NOT taking the easy way out if he got the band. Of course, when you weigh 600 pounds, nothing is easy...

But I dont think this show is going to have much inpact because of all the negative feelings toward fat folk in general.

Spit, spit, and more spit. Last night on HOUSE, Dr. House also insulted an obsese woman. She was comfortable wearing a bikini, and he made wise cracks. Pig.

I'm with you Lisa that show really pissed me off. Especially the Doc who was talking about the little Girl. Too Bad that people actually feel that way.

Spit Spit and More Spit!!

I got mad too!~!!! I thought people would think that about me!!! Oh well, we can't stop the stereotypes and hopefully people that it won't take a show that has a toilet on the roof of their hospital very seriosuly. That girl was al least 300 pounds and will never lose weight and keep it off with out some kind of drastic move!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
