Temporarily looking like a fatty due to surgery- A rant of hate Wow so I do not understand how fatties let themselves feel okay like this!! To clarify- I had laproscopic surgery on Friday.  One part of this is they fill your abdomen with gas.  So my abdomen is still quite distended because it takes a couple of weeks for the gas to dissipate and swelling to go down since it was major surgery. So right now it looks like I have a five-six month pregnant belly. I do NOT understand how anyone can be okay with this (besides actually being pregnant).  It's terrible! You feel gross, the skin is stretched tight, it looks...weird.  How can someone let themselves be like "Oh my belly is beautiful!!"  No, it's disgusting.  If it weren't for the fact that I KNOW it's from the CO2 gas and swelling, I'd be freaking out.  I'm still a bit because it's that repulsive. So to any lurking fatties, no your belly is not normal or beautiful or average.  It's hideous.  You are hideous.  Lose some fucking weight and look like a human again. Also the surgeon told me how little visceral fat I have.  They had to use tiny hooks to bring my belly button up so it had more space between, so the incision didn't go too deep.  And they had to cut my ab muscles....so that really sucks (sorry for slight bitching and moaning, but it is the day after surgery!)   I'm so happy I have you /v/fatpeoplehate because seriously, where else can I display such disgust at hams who let themselves WILLINGLY look like a beachball!
