People ever tell you...

That you talk way to much about your surgery? I few people have told me that I try to be the center of attention and that I think the "world" evolves around me...simply because they seem to think I talk to much about how far I've come - and what I've been through. Now I will admit - I do talk about it a lot...but it's just because I'm excited - and I don't know...I don't want to think that I'm like that...weirdest thing is - before surgery I was SILENT now I talk - and it's like - I can't win...I'm still a shy guy - always will be - insecure as well but I'll try to get over that - but talking too much...don't know how to gage that or interpret it.

You should be proud and allowed to talk about what you've been through. I think I talk too much about my surgery now and I haven't had it yet.
And telling you that "you think the world revolves around you" because you talk about your progress? They are probably jealous of your success, I personally wouldn't pay them any mind.

 I've never had that personally so bummer that someone said it to you.....

It could be jealousy on the part of the other person..which isn't supportive in the least.  All I know is my surgery has changed every aspect of my life, so I don't see how I couldn't get through some conversations without talking about it.  OOHHH...i have the perfect example....I was at the grocery store today and I was talking to the manager about ordering some fat free greek yogurt in strawberry and he asked me if I went through it fast because he could get a case and save me some money.....so I said, no because I have had WLS and it would go bad before I would fini**** all.  I don't call that bragging...it's stating fact...I didn't think twice about saying it.  

You SHOULD be excited about your surgery and don't let nay-sayers bring you down.  You are who you are and no one has the right to keep you silent.

I've never had anyone actually say that to me, but some times I know they are thinking it. I surround myself w/ very caring people and they know if they said something like that they would just be cruel and I let them talk about being skinny and all their complaints, so we should get our time too :) You should be proud, we all should. Keep it up and talk as much as you want!

That blows...I usually have people asking me TONS of questions when I'm just trying to get a cup of coffee or trying to work...
I've never hid it, and answer every question as best I can...But it starts to make me feel like a medical oddity when it's EVERY SINGLE DAY...
it kinda makes me happy to work at other locations where nobody knows I was ever fat...

It sounds as if their jealous and mad that your starting to speak about and up for yourself..now if your back to being quiet their going to say you think your too good to talk to them ever since you had your surgery...
