Poll: Stupid things people say after you've had WLS

If I ate like that, I'd be as big as a house. (I was eating shredded chicken w/ a bit of melted cheese on top) Couldn't you lose it the regular way? You eat more than I do. But you eat healthy. (This was my sister... ROFL.) You look gaunt. But gaunt is a good thing. (This was a friend of my sisters that got kicked out of Weigh****chers for dropping to too low a weight) Add on folks!

The dumbest I ever heard was "Bet you're glad you're not fat anymore!"....well DUH here's your sign....and a BIG book on etiquette with pictures. Yeesh!

No, I felt better when I was fat. I could take life slower that way.

You still got a long way to go............ You still have your big back porch (yikes)

"You just look smarter now." to which I responded "What surgery did you have to make me look smarter?" Nowhere Man/PH/Jay

wow, I've had so many stupid comments made to me, LOL! ~You look "too thin" so "I" think you should stop losing (thanks for your "professinal opinion!) ~Did it hurt? (major surgery usually does!) ~So, you can only eat a teaspoon of food at a time, forever?!?!?!?!?!?! (umm, NO!) ~How could you do that to yourself?? (Thanks for your support!) ~You've become so stuck up and only care about yourself! (this comment from my naysayers.....totally untrue!) ~Are you "allowed" to eat that? (Well, I'm "allowed" to eat whatever I went and when did you become the food police!) ~I think you've become obsessed with weightloss and wls. (well, if you call making a lifelong commitment to being healthy an obsession, than I guess I am!) I could go on and on! I guess I'm just surrounded by ALOT of "stupid" people, LOL!

"I always knew you were beautiful but just couldn't tell it before!" "You're such a skinny ***** now" My personal favorite from a family member: "You look anorexic. What you did to yourself is just unnatural and unhealthy." People can be SO ignorant!

Just the other night a woman said to me......"you know you can gain your weight back"....hello!!!!!!!!!!!

Very few people know I've had WLS, but what gets me is how now some folks think that I find their snide comments made behind the backs of MO/SMO is now acceptable to me and that I also find it amusing. Not so and I let them know. I also know they were making the same kind of comments behind my back for years. Actually, I always knew that. Becky

My personal favorite came from a support group person after I had lost 100 lbs. So when are you scheduled for surgery? Debbie
