Who tell tell and what to tell them?
Jan 20, 2015
This is on my mind often. My immediate family knows and 2 friends. Prior to this I have talked about WLS for years and well opinions are like @$$holes everyone has one! I figure most people have seen my weight go up and down so many times they will figure there she goes again. How long will it last this time? I have a lot of issues with trust. I trust people and then they hurt me down the road. The very reason I hold a lot in. My mom was always against WLS till we went on a mother daughter weekend and she saw how my weight was slowly killing me. That brought the subject up and eventually lead to a Dr. visit. My husband was a hurdle and I decided to do it with or without his approval. I was even willing to risk divorce to have it done. Luckily he finally agreed it was time. I initially told one friend who had RYN about 10 years ago and she drove me crazy. I hope I don't do that to someone years down the road. Actually friends of the friend who had RYN actually don't look at her as a success. She eats anything and everything and if I was her I wouldn't be proud to say I had surgery. She is not a post child for WLS. I don't believe she is using the tool she was given correctly. I have a fear of telling people and failing and they will say look it didn't work! or thought you weren't supposed to gain. In my head it's hard to imagine after surgery I will not be gaining the weight back yet again. I had lost over 30 pounds the first 30 days of my Dr.'s 1000 calorie, 100 carbs, 60 protein diet. Now I'm on a stall. My brain is my biggest hurdle! I can do this! I can do this!
