Jane, do you know my sisters-in-law (well the two oldest ones anyway) - they've said that about me too! If they ever say it TO me (I wonder if they'll have the guts), I plan on telling them that if God had wanted them to be intelligent and compassionate, he would have done that already too.

From an ex friend before my surgery.."Being thin doesn't make you happy".... It's funny i am not considered thin yet..but boy am I happy!
I get this one too..."You look pale..do you feel ok"? I am like what? I don't look pale and I feel better than I ever have.
Or..."you don't need to lose anymore weight". I reply..wow, I still have almost 40 more pounds to lose! lol
You should see the look of OMGosh in their faces..it is so funny! And i am only a little over 4 months out..I can't imagine when i am 6 mos and then a year..lol

"People die having WLS" yup, and my mom died after having a stroke and my dad could have died during his quadruple bypass surgery.
"Don't have the WLS, we can diet together". Hmmm, that never worked before so I think I'll pass.
Have a fun day everyone!!

When I talked about how I measure and weigh my food and keep a food diary, and exercise.
"You don't have any kids, so you have the time."
"Don't lose too much weight. You don't want to look frail."
"I just go by how my clothes fit. I never weigh myself." This is from someone who is about 25 lbs overweight.

Not to the post-op yet but the pre-op is providing great unexpected responses... my sister who could use some new eating habits has committed herself to WW and is obsessed with getting healthy. Her inspiration has lost 140#... I'm happy to see her get it together and make effort and I hope she keeps up the great work! One niece is a vegan, gluten-free, who is just as obsessed and the other is totally not into anything so it will be nice that 3 of 4 of us are doing something to change our health.
I hope this adventure puts a little peer pressure on everyone in my family -- husband included! My last class (6 month) is next Thursday and I CAN'T WAIT TO BE SUBMITTED and APPROVED!
