Recommended Posts

I say good riddance!

:thumbup:The funny thing is now that I have lost over 50lbs she has talked about "how she would like to date me and see what happens" I just laugh at her... I tell her I dont like skinny girls...

I have had more confidence in the past 6 months than I have in all of my life.:thumbup:

I married a man who I found out three months later was having an affair with an 18 year old when we got married! It shattered my world, and I was ashamed that I had exposed my children to such a fake and loser, (he was not their father....I was divorced from their dad after 18 years).

Before I had seen his girlfriend, who is now his wife, I remember tearfully asking him what she looked like. As he described her, and her normal weight, he had the nerve to tell me, "I'm not leaving you because of your weight". Well, I hadn't asked him if that was why he was leaving...and anyway, I was on a diet at the time had just lost 50 pounds for the wedding. Funny thing how life has a way of working itself out...he was a big guy then and is bigger still, and she's quickly catching up to him! :ohmy:

I'm now remarried, and my hubby is very handsome, average weight, and proud of me! He has supported me every step of my journey and brags on me more than I do myself. :thumbup: So, while it hurt terribly at the time, my life turned out so much better with him gone!

A stupid comment was made to me by a person i didn't even know and she asked me when I was due. I said jokingly that I wasn't pregnant I was just FAT. That pissed me off. I have always been told you have a beautiful face if you could just lose weight. Man I hate that, I can't wait till they say you are sooooo pretty. without mentioning weight. My 25 year reunion will be in 3 years and it would be great to be at my goal by then even sooner would be great!

Banded August 28 lost 53 lbs so far. Yeah!!!! 100 to go

Well, I have a few rude things...

1. When I was 9 I was visiting my aunt and uncle and when my uncle came home he said "Well, your as broad as a barn" Nice to say to a 9 year old. And I wasn't even a fat child. Amazing how that stuff sticks with you for LIFE!

2. I had just got married to the man of my dreams and he took me skiing with his best friends and their wives. Of coarse, they we skinny and cute and looked amazing in their little ski outfits. Anyway, we went to dinner at the resort it was a semi fancy restaurant. The waitress actually had the nerve to ask me if I was finished or just resting. Needless to say I was just resting... HA

3. And the classic, You have such a pretty face. I HATE that one...

The nerve of some people. :)

i love this thread.. its a great place to vent.

ever since i was a little girl, i have never understood how my favorite uncle-- no favorite person, ever, -- could stand being married to my aunt for so long. on multiple occasions, she has made remarks about my weight, and as a psychiatrist, she feels it is necessary for her to comment on my life without my asking. she's said things to my mom, like "it's just such a shame.." and that, being raised to be big in texas, i will never fit in with the skinny girls of a northeastern city (my mom and my aunt are from new york, my aunt currently lives in DC)

my brother used to date this HORRIBLE girl for years, through high school and college. she cheated on him multiple times, talked down to him, and made him wait on her hand and foot. on top of that her family was very racist and also anti-semitic. (her younger brother was my age and an idiot-- got in trouble for drawing KKK symbols at school... and he isn't even white?? not that that would make it ok-- and her older brother used to call our house telling us we were going to hell). anyways, after they broke up, he showed me this text message she sent him one time. she was mad that my brother was coming home from college and wanted to spend the night hanging out with me, and was just being her usual jealous self. so in the text she goes "FINE! why don't you just go f*** your fat sister and you can forget about me!" i couldn't hide my shocked face from my brother, but made it seem like i was just shocked she would say such a bitchy thing to him, instead of a bitchy thing about ME to him. some other time, when her mom invited me and my brother over to her house, she suggested to my bro and his gf in front of everyone that they should go on a walk, unless she wants to start looking like me. the nerve of some people. her mom was the same size as me!

just this past august, i went to visit some of my guy friends in chicago. we went on a spur of the moment to the beach so i didn't have a bathing suit and just sat in the sand with my feet in, but the guys were all able to get in the Water by taking off their shirts. the ENTIRE time, they would point to a woman and rate her hotness. then, the rest of the weekend, the guys would talk about different girls they found attractive, how they need to find some girls to date, etc etc. the comment that hurt the most was when they had a party and i was the only girl there at the beginning. they said, "we need a hot girl at this party!" they're great friends one on one, but i never want to hang out with them again when it's all the guys together.

i can't wait until i see them next summer and finally look like a hot girl (in their eyes, atleast. i've always thought i was fairly attractive... atleast-- not too bad on the eyes!). too bad i will only think of them as friends now!

:cool2:From what I can see in the picture you are already a hot gal. Don’t let other people’s inability to see true beauty keep you from seeing your own.:grouphug:

I was considering getting banded at the time, this was the straw....

I was babysitting our neighbors 4 year old daughter and my kids and her were playing in the pool, I was sitting on the edge watching them when she came up to me and gave me a hug and said "You have bigger boobs than my Mom."

.

.

.

It was true, they were bigger, but I'm a guy:crying:. By the end of the next week I had booked my surgery. I now have smaller boobs than her mom!!:grouphug::thumbup:

It was a totally innocent comment from a child, but it made me realise just how out of control I had become...

Thanks to Ryanne.

I have 2 uncles who, every year at thanksgiving and christmas say something about my weight. They act like they are surprised that I am fat, even though I have been fat for over a decade. One, who is big himself, always graps my shoulders and says I'm as big as a bear. The other one always says "so what are you up to now, 300?" I really dread seeing them today.

one of my co wworkers said that locing weight with a lap-band is not the "real way" to loseweight. Shes about 200 pounds fatter than me. Maybe her fat isnt real fat.

I had the same pizza delivery man deliver my pizza a few times. I always engaged in smalltalk with him. On this particular occasion, he said "you sure are getting out there, when is your baby due?"

I was sitting in a restaurant with friends. I was the only one facing the 2 jerks Iam about to tell you about. It caught my attn that the man facing me kept saying "its a shame" over and over and louder and louder. I started paying attn to him and noticed he was starring at me. Then he said it again its a shame and the man whom he was with turned to look at me. I then watched him say to the guy, its a shame she is so pretty and fat. Iam a size 18 and although big I had never experienced ANY prejudice for my weight. With every bite I took he starred me down and shook his head with disgust. So when the gals suggested dessert I jumped on it. We decided to split a chocolate cake thing with Syrup on it. I smiled at him and even winked at one point and starred at him with joyful eyes with every bite of cake. When we left they said what a shame what a shame what a shame as I walked by. I just laughed with my friends and left. My friends to this day have no idea what went on. It was hurtful but I wasn't about to let that jerk know. I later hoped he would choke the next time he was in a restaurant and die from lack of oxygen but I took it back (Iam afraid of bad karma) and wished him well and said a prayer for him.

Wtf? I dunno about anyone else but if that where me as I was leaving I would of either spit on him or given him a black eye for being such an ass

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
