My apologies beforehand for this, but I need to rant and don't have any other medium. I need to rant because one more person told me how easy I have it because of my surgery, and I'm at a point where I want to tear my hair out because of multiple things.
This surgery is NOT easy, it's NOT a walk in the park. I don't dump, I tolerate chocolate pretty well, and the actual foods that are good for me, make me sick. I can't tolerate chicken or fish, and barely can stomach lamb. On the days I force myself to have them because I don't want the alternative (protein shakes), I mostly end up with my head down a toilet - and not by choice.
In 3 months, I've lost just over 3 stone which is depressing me, because at the moment, I do 7 sessions of high intensity cardio and weight training a week. I lost 2 stone before my operation in a couple of weeks, so a stone a month considering the amount I'm exercising just doesn't cut it. If I was eating crap and exercising the amount I am, I'd still lose the same amount of weight which just makes me feel like this surgery was a waste.
I don't know what the point I started off with was, but that's pretty much my rant over. The people who I haven't told about the surgery who watch how I eat and vomit after think my weight loss is due to bulimia
, and the people who do know tell me repeatedly that it must be nice having the surgery do everything for me. Like the surgery makes my body get up at 7:30am every other day for training independently, whilst I rest and reap the benefits.
Blah.
