Why is it that people only want to hear the positive and ignore even the remote possibility of complications from having Weight Loss Surgery?? They will be the first one to jump on you if your being too negative sounding…Usually I hear “Why do you have to sound so negative when you write your blogs”?? Well to be honest I’m pissed that this is going on and that I could have taken a different route, but I was more focused on looking skinny then actually thinking what it might do to me 6 years later…I was being selfish and not thinking how it would affect my family or friends…Now I pay the price everyday…I never once took into consideration that my husband who is young and vital would want a sick wife to deal with all the time…He is a wonderful man, but being a care giver is hard and sometimes I wouldn’t blame him if he took the easy way out and left…What kind of life am I giving him??
Obviously we were born with a full stomach and not meant to whack it in half…Hell, some of the great portraits of our time have fuller figure ladies and it was very acceptable…If you looked skinny back then you obviously came from a poor family and what man would want that… And when you really stop and think about that then it makes so much sense…I wouldn’t hold it against that man for wanting to marry a girl if she didn’t at least have a herd of cattle to bring into this marriage…LOL..
I wonder what the early 18th century men and woman would think of us now and all our vanity and obsession with size??
No one wants to hear the negative because
for the first 1-4 years, it’s all positive. I’m happy
to hear your spouse stuck by you as I will attest..
Mine bailed ship at the first sign of something amiss
and even informed one of my surgeons he should
have just let me die
WLS changes everything around you, physically and
emotionally for the rest of your life. Some fare well, but
others suffer for the rest of their lives. I was sick and dying
and I “wanted” a new lease on life. Instead, I’m still sick and
praying for a miracle..and my kids and mother have had to make
decisions on my behalf I never ever intended them to make. Know
what you’re getting into and know that yes, we speak negatively because
we’ve been in your shoes before and back then, we didn’t get the luxury of
the full story. We were ahead of you becoming “the other side of the story” whether or not we wanted to.
Im so sorry that you are sick. I feel so bad, and I wish there was more I could do. I cant stand to see anyone suffer.. Im so glad ur spouse has stayed by your side. Now thats a good man.
Im always sending out prayers to u that things will get better for you! And Im always here if you need to talk.
Also, thank you for sharing your pics with us. I must say.. I love you blonde! And I love you brunette..cant choose which I like better
