I am so fortunate that all my family and friends are supportive.I think people have just forgotten what a healthy person looks like. Sometimes they are just jealous because you have finally done something and are losing the weight. Just like it roll off your back. I would just restate that I'm fine and healthy.,then move on to another topic.

Ohh...i'm so in this boat. "You have such a pretty face" you don't need to have WLS...What people don't understand is: WE DIDN'T HAVE WLS SURGERY TO LOOK GOOD! WE had surgery TO LIVE!

Being MO or worse is not fun. Many of us live in physical pain everyday. Our quality of life is suffering due to pain of all sorts. I know people mean well, but honestly they need to open their eyes. Looking "good" is not an indicator of health.

Sorry for the rant.

You are so right skinny_gigi!

As we get older and the body started to fall apart from all the extra weight, it's life or death for us all. I had WLS my DH did not. I am here he is not

Yup- I got this speech from my Mom recently. When I told her my actual weight and she realized it was still more than her weight-- she backed right off. Funny how that works lol

OMG peachpie I love this! When he thought I was nuts for wanting another 15 pounds off I reminded him I weigh 142. Now for a shorty that is a lot. He forgot just how small Mom was.

Yes, when I started getting the "You don't need to lose anymore weight" and from people in WLS support groups...I just said...I weigh over 200lbs... I do not need to weigh over 200lbs...

When people say things about my weight, or that I am too skinny, I tell them immediately that they are being impolite. I have even told my mother that.

It's not okay to comment on someone else's weight. Ever.
