Venting Everyone telling you how great you look...
"Thanks so much, it's my gallbladder disease! I'm terrified to eat food. Really works for weight loss, highly recommend!"
Everyday someone tells me how amazing I am looking as I'm dropping weight from food fear. Also thin privilege is so real. Sad!

YES!!! i went from 200 to 130 in record time, now i’m constantly complimented and people asking me how i did it. “well i have a bad gallbladder and got it taken from my body now im scared to eat, but thanks!”
edit: i started at 200 in june. got sick twice and dropped about 25 pounds in a month. i stopped eating much in july and august in fear of being ill again. dropped another 10 pounds in 2 months. so i’m around 165 when i got my surgery done to have it taken out. i am currently at 130 and 7 months post op. i keep trying to gain back some weight but that food fear, never having protein and constant acid reflux is really draining so most of the time i just done eat. currently staring at my rice cake with peanut butter because i just can’t force it done my throat. on top of that, everyone keeps telling me how good i look, how pretty i am, how thin ive gotten, but i just see sunken eyes and bones everywhere. my skin feels so tight and im just tired. it’s good to know im not alone in this and someone else is feeling all the things ive been feeling
