I'll own my disagree. Weight loss surgery, while drastic and definitely not something that should be used as a quick fix comes with so many of its own rules and restrictions that honestly, it takes just as much if not MORE dedication than standard weight loss.
It is not "an easy way out" as people seem to think it is. Really the only thing it does is force the patient into only eating a set amount (that is ridiculously small). If they eat beyond that, they suffer for it or can endanger themselves.
Unfortunately, some shows out there make it seem like it's way easier than it actually is. It's not for every person and there is actually a failure rate, even for bypass.
Mostly, I disagree because you seem to assume that it isn't hard work or dedication to succeed, and that hasn't been my experience so far watching others go through it.

I know you don't, silly girl. I used it once because I felt strongly about something...I got reported. 🙄 If anything I've learned from MFP it's that my skin is now thicker than ever. Everyone has an opinion and they're entitled to it. 💜

Oh, Ive used it, just very rarely. When I have time and energy to say what I mean in words I try to do it that way because I feel it’s more clear that I’m only disagreeing with a statement and not an entire person. And now I’m getting wordy.
I understand, I generally get a disagreement for being me. 😂 That's ok, too. At the end of the day nobody knows me as a person, just a perception. 😉

I've seen what a friend had to go through with her weight loss surgery...its not an easy solution. You still have to work for it and keep it up to maintain. The only "envy" I have is that its soooo fast.
My body drops 1 lbs a month for crazy amounts of exertion.
i totally agree. The amount of hard work you have to put in and the sacrifices you have to make after getting a gastric bypass is no joke.0 -

I really have to let the actions of others which I have no control over, effect me - they get under my skin then I get mad cause I let them under my skin - Got to keep my focus on what I can control — human relationships are too damn complex - I’d like if everyone relationship was like with my dog / she just loves the crap outta me no matter what - maybe a dogs love is the only true unconditional love... I say that In jest - relax folks I’m just spit ballin here cause I’m bored and on my patio and it’s still October- sheesh / you cats have a fine evening7

I think you’re right about the dog thing.2 -
Sometimes I feel like once I passed 50 I started to disappear.
Every year I get older I become less and less visible.

It’s okay to be human, be in your feelings. Relationships are hard and I’m still learning new things daily. You’re a good person, so there’s that💜2 -

Yikes. I feel like this already... but I'm only in my 30s. Am I going to be non-existent in a few years?

If I put both The TrophyWife and my dog in the trunk of my car and then drive around town for 30 minutes, when I finally stop and open the trunk, my dog is happy to see me.8 -

I giggled/half choked on sip of wine!!
Indeed!!
...dogs are needy wusses, cat love is where its at...if you locked up the cat, it would shun you and maybe pee on your shoes..kinda like a trophy wife reaction, I'm guessing!2 -
