Vent session!

Sitting with some friends today at lunch. Talking about everything and my surgery come up.

Talking about various things, dumping, small bites. etc. Stuff we all know from here and research that " outsider" dont know.

I was talking about how I have to make sure I get my ass in the habit of exercise cause Im gonna have to really work to get to my goal of losing 250lbs.

A couple said. YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE and watch what you eat? Whats the point? OMG .....

I spend 45 mins explaining everything over and over and they still left saying. They thought it was just gonna melt off me.

Lord have mercy...

Wait till after surgery and they ask you how much you have lost, and you hit the three week stall and they will be " that's it?"! I love my mother, but she can't understand how the pounds aren't just melting away with eating so little. I have given up trying to explain it to her LOL.

i think that most peoples idea is "the easy way out" or they really know jack about the surgery so when you actually explain to them how its shakes down..and its not all sunshine and rainbows..they always say its not worth the hassles or something like that..its annoying :

Why is it, people do not understand, just because you buy a saw and a hammer, the house does not build itself?

This is a GREAT analogy. Very hard to build a house without those tools, but the tools alone won't do the job.

Some people seem to think that it's a "fat removal" surgery. They have NO idea what's involved. I have explained RNY to a few close friends a few times and they still don't get that there is malabsorption/bypass. It's ok though, as long as YOU know what you're getting into that's all that matters.
