Goal? Is yours in sight?

My goal seems so far away at this point. My surgeon and I have set a goal for me but right now I am so down cos my weight loss has slowed down so much. I am doing what I am suppose to be doing but it feels like I am not getting anywhere fast. I go up a pound, come down a pound. Feels like this cycle that doesn't end. Anyone have suggestions getting past this?

Helping others...

Do you know someone who is going to have the lap band or gastric sleeve surgery in the very near future? I had the pleasure of lending my own advice yesterday to a woman who was having the gastric sleeve. It was so nice to be able to talk with her and explain some of things that will be going on. It felt so good to calm & relax her mind. Have you helped someone on your journey?

Why do hide our decision about our weight surgery?

Recently I ran into an old friend I haven't seen in a while. She recognized my weight loss Nf asked me how I lost the weight. I hesitated for a moment. I wasn't sure if I should tell her I had the gastric surgery 3 months ago. Why? I decided quickly to tell her that I had the surgery. Why should we hide our smart decision to finally attack our weight issue? Do you have a hard time telling people about your weight decision?
