What the heck people?

Okay, so before surgery people were constantly at me about my weight. I heard the fat whispers from strangers. Family would just speak up straight to my face. Now that I've had surgery, I swear at least 4 people have asked me how the heck I got surgery when I'm so small. WTH? Pick one people. I'm either fat or small. LOL!  I keep explaining that I am more than 100 lbs. overweight and that I have co-morbidities but they still just look at me like I'm a nut. People are weird. Just my daily observation. :)

they are never happy it seems. My mom is now telling me I am getting too small. HELLO I weigh 295 lbs. No granted that is alot smaller than my 420 plus I was before. Still way more to go. I am not sure why they are like that.

LOL.  I can't say I ever ran into this problem.  But then that is probably relative to my starting weight.  Everyone and myself agreed I was big as a damn house.  LOL.

You can't win 'em all.  Thicken up your skin becuase people will make judgements about your choice all the time.  And I have found that people DO NOT have a problem telling you.  I don't know what it is about weight, weight gain or weight loss but in my experience people are very forthcoming.

For instance, my Aunt has a nasty habit of including little "have nots" in your birthday card, christmas card, or a note card just saying hello.  For years and years I got articles folded up and stuffed into my cards on obesity, health, exercise, etc.  At least this year for my birthday I got an article on anger and stress for a change.  LOL.  I wonder what the hell she's trying to say?  HA HA  ;)

Yep, you probably will be subjected to a lot of unwanted comments.  A lot of it I have found is jealousy from your looking better than ever.  Don't let them get you down and enjoy this ride...it is the ride of your lifetime!

Definitely get used to it, lol!  people will say what they want, i've gotten to the point that i rarely say to non surgery folk where i am in my journey.  i've already gotten your face is too thin (OK, i stil weigh over 200lbs), i no where near done yet! yes, people are just plain weird.  have a great day! lys

I get that all the time. On the day of surgery, the nurse even said I did not look big enough to have surgery. That was a confusing moment. (talk about second guessing the surgery then). I still get that when I show someone a before picture.

I like to think that people are trying to be polite when they say that. Maybe its there way of complimenting us.

It doesn't bother me or anything. I just found it amusing. People are just so damn weird. LOL
