Worried about telling people......

I don't want to tell people about my surgery, at least not yet. I seriously worry that I will take awhile to lose ( always been a slow loser unless it is water weight). So many WLS people lose faster b/c they had the RNY. I just don't want people waiting like cats under my fish tank:-)

 

I know it will come off. I know I will look amazing, I know but I don't know. Hope someone can relate.

 

Today I am off to try and have tea with a friend. I realize so much of my life is surrounded by food, eating out with friends, celebrating everything with food, feeding my kids, loving to cook.

 

Non of this will change, but I will control it. I just have to learn to cook the banded way:) and go for soup instead of a meal. Family parties.......putt putt golf;-)

I didn't share until about month five. No one guessed. I'm glad I kept is a secret as long as I did.

Good luck.
