67. as someone else who had gastric bypass

you're preaching to the choir... i still get crap about it... from members of my own family....

"that just proves you have no self control since you needed to have your stomach removed."

"you took the easy way out."

"you should pray more and not bake so much...."

1 - fuck you. i was a depression/stress eater.

2- fuck you. i dare anyone who thinks i got off easy TRY to eat what i did for the first 5 weeks after surgery AND be in the same amount of pain i was in (i couldn't take the oxy, it backed me up, so i was left with kid's chewable asprin)

3- fuck you. i love to bake, i'm not quitting something that makes me happy, and now i just won't share any with you.

it takes more energy not to slap someone than it does to actually do it...

yes, this issue bothers me, even moreso when the morons saying this crap are in my family and should know better.
