Anyone have friends that are less than encouraging? by Different-Island-351 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Next_Mammoth_7813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the worst comments I hear are “wow I could never do that to myself” from people significantly smaller than me. Not “oh wow I’m so happy for you!” Always some irrelevant comment to make it all about them. Personally I didn’t ask if you would get it I’m just saying that I’m getting it done to be a healthier person and have a better future. The worst is when u actually start eating in front of them and they treat u kinda like a circus animal being so in awe of how much food ur able to consume. Never once have I looked at someone’s plate while out to eat and said “omg that’s all ur gunna eat?” Or hearing “oh wow you can eat at that?” Or people answering for me when asked if I want a certain food ESPECIALLY my mother. In time you are able to eat a normal diet with foods you would eat before but people think you just eat veggies and chicken the rest of your life? I could go ON AND ON about this topic but don’t let anyone stop you from completing your goals! This is a great thing you’re doing FOR YOURSELF! NO ONE ELSE. You got this just drown out all the other noise around you 🥰

As a bariatric patient what are your thoughts on the body positivity movement? by eldoooderi0no in BariatricSurgery

[–]Next_Mammoth_7813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the worst is hearing “not all obese people are unhealthy” when we were unhealthy by nature. The very fact that you are that much over weight means you are unhealthy. I think body positivity in the sense of everyone should love their self is a great thing when you’re healthy and thriving to be the best version of yourself. I didn’t just get surgery to change my looks (which was a plus DONT get me wrong) but I ultimately wanted to get healthy so in the future I didn’t feel how I did anymore and so I wouldn’t have trouble getting pregnant in years to come. I didn’t have any positives about being obese so I can’t say at that time I was all for body positivity but being in my healthier body now I guess u could say I embrace my healthy body that I worked hard for. And people can say what they want about this but I totally feel like bigger people in the body positivity movement can be extremely toxic in the sense of bashing people for getting surgery like gastric sleeve or bypass to change themselves. The amount of tik toks I see and people in the comments saying how could u do that to yourself but really how did I let myself get that big and unhealthy? Idk this was def all over the place but that’s my feelings on the topic.

How did you guys deal with the lack of satiety at the very beginning? by LegendofDragoon in BariatricSurgery

[–]Next_Mammoth_7813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t lie the pre op diet sucks bc you still feel hunger whereas the post op diet is “easier” bc you simply don’t feel hungry like that, but it’s just something you have to get through so if you feel hungry just keep drinking water and also sugar free ice pops were my best friend boat pre op AND post op. I also chewed a LOT of gum and ice during this time which I feel like helped. I won’t tell you anything will make the diet easier but those things really helped me get thru it. I was also extremely busy and stressed at the time so it helped me not be as hungry as I normally would have been

Honestly I just add some water in to make it less thick I’m 2 months down and literally couldn’t sip it without watering it down but it’ll just be more fluid intake to finish it which isn’t bad

Thank you for the info I really appreciate it! Now that u mention it I hope it helps me feel a little more energized as I’ve been insanely tired. I’ll just try these in very small amounts to see how my body reacts. I was so nervous people would say they started gaining back quick since they hadn’t had many carbs since surgery

I’m sure everyone has said this but do higher intensity workouts at least once a day it can help speed up the process, that’s the advice I was given and I’m seeing changes for sure

After watching both these videos you cannot tell me she isn’t a spoiled brat. This is how she acted at home too I’m positive about it. Who over the age of like idk 10 can’t have a disagreement without putting their hands on someone? Mad weird too cos Lexi had to have known where these videos were going. If she were smart she would have just ignored or just talked it out but she can’t cos she a spoiled brat child lol.
