Well I feel much better and I am  trying to find my way with this new life Post WLS.....
Now new hurdlles to climb: haters on the job...
why the heck is everyone so angry.Leave me alone.
Maybe five people said I lost a lot of weight and my skin is so clear and my face got so tiny.
I really appreciate the nice comments but the rest of the people(women) literally act like they want to chissle me into the ground...Lots of anger! I feel attacked.
I knew this was gonna happen but I didnt expect it to this severity. I have to grow tough skin real quick!
Anyone else had issues along the way as changes took place.How did you handle it?

 I'm sorry you're going through this.  I haven't had my wls yet...but I can tell you that I have a bunch of haters at my work too, that's why I chose not to tell anyone.  You can do this!!  Ignore the jerks and know you're better off in the long run.  Hope things get better!!

 Ahhh...so it is jealousy!  I work with mostly men.  They would harass me about the surgery itself.  I think women are different because they will harass you because they're afraid you look better than they do.

well,, men sounds a lot better....I'm shy and quiet at work and there are some real meanies there. One lady today got really vicious for no reason... I had to keep my cool ( I work in a school) I had to tell her to take her hands outta my face..unbelivable ....too much anger now days.... I have to make it to June then off for the summer. Please hurry up June!

 Dont you just love your haters? lol I am actually a stay at home mom, and i have not had my surgery yet, and the only ppl that knows about it, is my family and a few close friends. I live in a really small town and i know ppl are gonna start talking. My husband side of the family (one of his aunts) was so negative towards the surgery and it really upset me and i actually did not talk to her for several weeks. And my "supposed" to br best friend was nagging too, and i just had to let her have it! Just dont worry, people are jealous and ecspecially women! They dont want anyone to look hood and loose weight! Keep your head held high!

What makes them angry is the fact, your success makes them look at their own failure. Hang in there and just smile to yourself each time they get angry because" you know they hate it".

Just enjoy it!  It means your on the right track   Don't give them the power to bring you down.  If they don't like you and aren't supportive well that means they have problems...lol it doesn't have to be yours.  I hate to quote Katt Williams AGAIN...but......................................."so what she/he keeps talking about you and hating on you. What do you think a "hater's" job is..to hate. if u have someone hating on u right now u better think of how to get 5 more ppl hating by Christmas. You need haters to make you stronger..w/o haters most ppl wouldn't try to become better. Just tell them "b*tch u just hate me b/c u can't be me..."  .........................I think that says it all...people putting enery in to you and time well it just makes you better....bad or good.  I don't hate on anyone it takes to much energy that I could focus on ME!!!! It's all love for me
