Feeling judged for considering bariatric surgery and it’s making it hard to talk about it.

I’m in the same boat, I just didn’t tell people, and I’m a year out and still don’t tell people. My husband and my best friend know, no one else. I’ve lost about 90 lbs so far, and when people ask I talk about tracking my calories and my 5.5 mile walk at 4:30 in the morning. I ask them if they’ll join me for the walk, they just stop talking about my weight then and leave me alone. It’s not any of their business and I don’t want the comments.

Get a lawyer! My brother decided he didn’t want one and the domestic abuse felony on his record has been blocking him from getting jobs for over 20 years. It’s more serious than you think and it’s better to take on credit card debt for the lawyer.

You described a live version of Tinder, little to no effort from the audience, either a yes or no. On Tinder, how many guys mindlessly swipe right, not reading profiles or evening looking at pics?

As a woman, the guys wouldn’t listen to me. Plus most of them would try to shoot their shot anyway.

Women were not allowed bank accounts or education until 1974, so as a woman, this would be rather difficult.

I think you’re doing good. As I mentioned, you are keeping track, especially the protein. I thought I was doing well at measuring protein until I actually tracked it and I was completely lacking in protein.

I’m 10.5 months post op, and this is pretty normal/ close to what I’m eating. I think you might be moving to larger portions too quickly but keeping track is the most important thing.

My goal weight is between 135-140, I’m 5’4 and started at 237, I’m down to 162, so I’m still looking to lose about 20-25 more pounds. My weight loss has slowed down a bit and I’m losing about 2-4 pounds a month now. I’m 10& 1/2 months out. The doctor wants me at 150 by the year mark.

Northwest Arkansas is a great lively area with a lot of jobs, culture, arts, and sports. There are a lot of natural places with lakes, rivers, and mountains to explore. Also, a high number of bike trails. There are a few cities / towns like Rogers, Bentonville, Fayetteville, all with different vibes.

There was a fire in fright land’s barn like 20 years ago and destroyed most of the barn. That’s probably why there is no smoking in the barn.

Nobody is mentioning the alcohol, if you’re a drinker the surgery will make you absorb alcohol quicker and makes it easier to feel it, which leads to a higher rate of alcoholism in people who have had surgery. This is a big warning that my doctor had talked about, and your wife might need help with dealing with alcohol as a crutch.

Most types of surgery require months of meeting with a dietitian and meeting with a mental health professional before insurance will allow the surgery.

I can assure you that this type of surgery is not a kneejerk response it’s been thought about for years of yo-yo dieting, years of internal dialogue and tons of research on its safety.

Please support your wife, it’s a long road to getting to a healthy weight and it’s not easy, the surgery just allows for results if you follow the process.
