Surgery Oct. 27, 2014

 

My body has gone through so many changes in such a short time. I am so happy and if I had to do it all over again, I would. There is nothing better than being proud of who I am. However, I'm starting to realize that some of my friends arnt happy at all.

I have been hurt by some comments on social media. I will admit that there were a lot of people I kept my surgery away from. I dont know exactly why I did that and I know I hurt them in the process. However, making comments saying they were going to eat a greasy cheeseburger and cheese fries around me is crazy and mean.

I would kill to be able to eat how I used to before the surgery. But thankful I cant.

 

I need to grow a thicker skin. I just thought that the people who I have been friends with for years would be as happy as I am.

I started dating again, new experience being thinner. No one stares at me when I walk into the room and if they do, Im sure its to stare at my beauty. haha. kidding.

 

My daughter has been more loving and wanting me to be around her, its a nice feeling, thats for sure.

 

Need new friends. Ones that will support me in my decisions.

Sounds like some of your friends are jealous. When they tempt you with cheeseburgers and fries again, remember that nothing tastes as good as being thin and healthy feels. Congratulations on your progress. You look fabulous!

You look GREAT! I wish I took a picture on my own week 1. all I have is a face shot in pre-op at the hospital before surgery.

In short, people SUCK. All you can do is just walk away. Probably very jealous of you too. Keep up the awesome work.
