Unhappy Just need to vent

I get tired of everyone asking me what I can eat.
I get tired when I'm eating everyone wants to know what it is.
I get tired of being told I took the easy path (surgery)
I get tired of not knowing what my stomach will tolerate.
I get tired of the nausea.

Sorry, I just had to vent...just a few things that drive me nuts!!
I'm glad I have this group for support.

Nora

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

What nausea? Don't you just get that if you eat wrong? Have I been in denial? Mattie

I can imagine, I have not told anyone that I have had the surgery either. I get enough stares and questions just with people thinking I am dieting.

Here is the one place you can always vent!

Nora,
Who Cares what those other people think!!!!!!!!
Tell them your eatting crap! Hello... your eatting food like they do!!! Maybe they'll leave you alone then.

Things I never get tired of,

*Looking at my toes, yes I can see them now, in pretty sandels.!
*Crossing my legs when I sit.
*Walking and walking and never getting winded.
*Getting out the last two summers clothes and they still fit, OMG, that NEVER happens!!
*Seeing my relection in the mirror and asking myself who is that girl, after almost 6 years!
*This is all so worth is, don't let anyone, say or get you down about this...

Hang in there is all get so much better!
You do have support here, I just had to remind you that "they do not understand" and you should not let them get to you. Keep your head held high... You've worked to hard to come this far!

Dawn, it was so refreshing to read your response. I so look forward to the good things you never get tired of. I really needed to be reminded as my day ets closer and all the garbage takes over the mind.
She's right Nora, who gives a flip what other people think. LOL we should carry those little key chain moccasins around in our purses and whenever someone says something that upsets us hand them a pair and say "walk a mile in these then maybe you will understand."Chin up! You are taking care of YOU. Mattie

Still wondering why all the nausea though? Have you discussed this with your Dr?

Wait til you lose and lose and then they say (at their size 8) "I wish -I- could have had that surgery!" OR "you're just taking it TOO far!"

omg...I cannot tell ya how many people show their true colors when you choose this surgery and wow..hey it WORKS and you lose all the excess weight..

jealousy comes in many disguises and colors for sure!

Nora Nora Nora....
I'm there with you. Im having a hard time eating in public because of this, ESPECIALLY at work. People ALWAYS ask about the small portion I'm eating and why? etc. I was invited to a co workers goodbye dinner and didnt go because i'm not sure how to handle myself in a social situation just yet. But the only thing that keeps me going is the fact that i am SO much healthier than I was 2 months ago. I havent had an asthma attack at all, and was taken off my hypertension meds. I am a firm believer that it HAS to and WILL get better. Chin up. You are on your way and we are all right beside you.
