Hello....yes I know how you feel about the people and their
comments. What makes me so angry is that I probably know how to eat
better and workout better than half the people telling me how to do
it. Makes me really annoyed when I hear "you don't look like you
need the surgery" wow is that suppose to make me feel better. Now I
am not fat enough to get the surgery in their eyes and I am not
trying hard enough. Well as of today I don't care what anyone says
anymore....they don't have to wake up and hurt so bad that waking up
was a bad idea. I am tired of feeling like I am 90 when I am only
32. I guess I can get off my soap box now....lol. Hope everyone has
a wonderful evening.... :)

don't understand your frame of mind or why you would make such a
decision for this surgery. Unless you've battled with your weight,
the emotional and mental and physical torture you put yourself thru
is uncomprehensible to others. Just shrug those people off. DON'T let
it bother you. You know what's best for you. I needed gastric bypass
in order to not eat those foods anymore, since I can't it's much
easier. It's hard to find food to eat, because I was so used to
getting fast food or eating pizzas or whatever was quick, but it's a
whole new way of life. It's still a diet, and it's

remember that with the idiots who make such horrible comments! Good
luck with your surgery!!!

any resistence from peole that know you are having gastric bypass? I
had one girl at my work who was shocked the insurance company would
even pay for "such a surgery" needless to say lunch was not very
comfortable after that. She said all I would have to do is eat less
and only the good foods, blah, blah, blah....
