On the pregnancy thing

 

It was 4 months after I gave birth, I was still swollen and bloaty and someone asked me when I was due

while I was holding my infant son

I agree.   Don't do it.  I've seen it over and over on here...where people talk about wanting to go out and proselytize and pass out "cards" about WLS.   How ******g rude and insenstive.  Like fat people don't know about WLS,  dieting, exercise etc.   We know more about it than most.

I have had this done to me..."you'd be soo pretty if you would just lose weight"..from total strangers.

Ugh...so angry on your behalf.

((((((((((((((  hugs)))))))))))))))))))))

  All hail Susan's potty mouth!!!!

It's about damned time we've started rubbing off on her.  Wait.  That sounded wrong on so many levels.

Hey, Pummy!  I told a gal at support group last night about the failed lap band forum.  She's getting revised from band to RNY in the near future.  Between the two of us, we did our best to inform a newbie who was interested in the band about all the potential negative aspects.  

Not sure he got it, but I can hope.

Susan, at least they were total strangers...and you could ignore them.

I had my grandmother say that to me when I was 13...talked about messing with your head.
