You seem really nice and definaty didnt deserve being teased, but i really dont understand why being bullied would force you to eat more... surely people being mean about your weight would be an incentive to not eat so much and lose weight? Not everyone whos bullied turns to food, so i dont get why thats always an excuse with overweight people? This isnt meant to be a mean comment, just saying! :)

@jonnylivy182 First of all, thanks, no one deserves to be made fun of, no matter what size they are, color they are, what they look like, etc....a lot of people go to food for comfort, it's just like when a smoker is stressed out they go out for a smoke, or when a drinker gets upset they have another drink...some people are just more likely to become addicted to something then others.  I understand what you're saying, but until you've been there it's hard to understand.

I know what you mean I don't add anyone who I don't really talk to in real life, those are social climbers! You're too much a person beautiful to put up with fake people- I'm having deja vu, I feel like I've watched this & commented but I don't see it! lol Besides, they were probably mean to you because they had insecurities and projected them onto you. To ignore jackasses is to live in peace :) And let them think what they want about your WLS as long as YOU know you're doing it the healthy way!

Hey, write 500 characters all you want :) I think you did comment on this before, I wonder where it went, because I remember replying to it! Thank you so much, I appreciate all your support, and my facebook friends page actually did get quite the clean up because of this guy...I deleted a lot of people that really shouldn't have been there in the first place :P

im sooo sorry high school was like that for u I really think I was just really lucky in high school to not be teasted in high school and actually got in with the popular kids and invited to all the parties and was not teased (atleast not to my face lol) but it took alot to get that way alot of trying my hardest to always be the life pf the party and the life of the group alway making anytime our friends where together making it fun!!! So I totally feel sorry for people who had to go that!!!

I was very thin in high school, but I´m fat now. Here in Germany, people I don´t or barely know also make bullying comments about my weight. I got one yesterday-a woman walked by me in front of my house and said, "You really need to lose weight" after I smiled and greeted her. And today when I was unloading the car from shopping, a group of elderly but fit men walked by on the sidewalk and one said something about being able to squeeze by (car door was open onto the sidewalk). Bullies. Idiots.

lol yeah my Facebook list went from probably 300 to 115 or something. Too many social climbers and people who obviously only added me to see what I was doing & cyber stalk me :s lol I'm glad that you only have support and friends on there now :) cool and your welcome, it might not be a lot but I try to be positive to those who are obviously positive aha

[MaureensWLSJourney]

Thanks, I fully agree, he was deleted, I was just so stunned by his comment, it's scary how some poeple's minds work isn't it?

[berryblitz07]

Well I have no problem writing 500 characters LOL, I tend to have a lot to say, haha sorry :)

[MaureensWLSJourney]

@missmaine76

Aww, thank you!

I did remove him and tell him to get lost, but was so surprised by what he wrote at the time and wonder if I'll get much more of that response from others.

[MaureensWLSJourney]

@kelshaleanne Thank you :) It sounds like now mom is going to try and stay, so at least that's less stressful :P

I am having open RNY with Dr. thirlby in Seattle.

[MaureensWLSJourney]

@strongisfighting oh I told him to get lost, I was just shocked!

Sounds like mom is going to try to stay after all, so I'm so much less worried now.

[strongisfighting]

Dude, tell that guy to fuck off.

Maybe you can check into getting some kind of nurse service to make daily visits to you in the hotel. Would probably be expensive, but worth it, for peace of mind, if nothing else.

[kelshaleanne]

Thanks for the video..I was homeschooled my whole life, so did not deal with as many bullies as I am sure I would have if I went to HS. Sorry about you missing the companionship of your husband...I know you will come out of this just fine. Any girlfriends that would come?

Hope to hear from you soon. Which surgery are you having?

[missmaine76]

Maureen, I have watched a few of your videos and am deeply touched by them. I havent left a comment until now, I just had to write something about the comment that your guy friend made! For 1, he is NOT a friend! For 2, he's a childish jerk who needs to grow up! You need to delete him as a friend and not waste your time on him! Friends are people who love and care for you and except you for who YOU are!, PERIOD!

[LadyBubba831]

yes i am from britain :) x

[LadyBubba831]

I am not aiming to make an enemy of you, but i have plenty of kind, nice and supportive friends in my life that i dont really need anything your friendships has to offer, I wish you all the best for the future" then click delete friend, DONE, short , sharp sweet and to the point haha you have enough on your plate without dealing with such mis-informed and blatantly stupid people. LOVE YOU xxxxxx

[LadyBubba831]

Maureen, bless u your comment brought atear to my eye, you are so lovely ! and by the way that silly "man" if thats what he calls himself if it were me, i would send him this message " I wanted to make you aware that i am deleting you as a friend as i do not appreciate your comments regarding my weight, i think you dont understand enough on the subject to be sharing your narrow minded point of views,

[berryblitz07]

Hey hun, so true. I agree with you so much, I tell everyone who adds me who has ever harassed me "Hey, I'm no social climber, if I don't talk to you in real life, don't bother adding me, to anything!" These people are the people who taunted me into the person I am today, I'm open to all people, and I appreciate all humans. Though I refuse to lie and claim friendship where it never existed, people who lie about such things are obviously still insecure today! :)
