Is wls a copout?

Feb 19, 2011

Why when people find out or you tell them that u had wls, do they automatically think you've taken the easy way out or cheated some how? I busted my ass b4 surgery, and managed to lose 46 pounds on MY own. No pre op diets no liquid diets no nothing. Plain old keeping a food journal, watching my portion sizes, and walking. Hell I probablly would have lost another 30 pounds had I been on a pre op diet, but I wasn't, and I feel extremely proud of my pre and post surgery accomplishements. For pete's sake, wls is a TOOL, and it is not a guaranteed fix. If u don't use the tool as it was inteneded, u can blow the hell back up. So how do people think that's cheating or taking the easy way out? Just wondering.
