How to deal with comments?

Sorry Melissa that some people are just "stupid", wish I would have been there with you because you know I would have said something. See you tomorrow. Hugs!

Ihave a friend that is overweight that tells me about all the failures she can find. Someone lost too much weight.......gained it all back...looks old.......is sick all the time..  Apparently I am the only person on the planet happy with wls. But I am sure to fail in some way.  I think she would like the surgery but is afraid of it. I let it go in one ear and out the other. I hope I am a long turn success. I do make misstakes. I answer questions to those that ask. I do not hide the fact I had wls. I figure all bad talk by  others is the results of....fear.....jealousy...or stupidity. To those skinny ladies....they do not have a clue what it is all about. They have not suffered the humiliation we have nor will thay ever. But that 20 pounds they need to loose is much more important than the 160 we lost. They don't know how hard it is to change our whole way of living inthe mater of one day and be able to adjust to it mentaly and physically. I would do this surgery over again with no regrets. I am happy to get full quick so I can eat like normal people. I am happy with every part of wls.
Don't let these ladies rain on your parade. They will never know what it is like to walk in our shoes.
