Ok, as you might have read in my confession, I had a slip and got back up to 196lbs(201 with cloths on). I'm back on track as of a couple weeks ago & I'm happy to report that as of this week I'm down to 190lbs.

People never cease to amaze me.
They advocate lying then attack people who simply say "honesty is the best policy".
One simple question. Why attack someone for recommending the exact thing that we were all taught as children?

This morning 212. Slow, but I'll take it! NSV: noticed an overweight woman a tad bigger than me Pre-Op at a "how-to festival" today. She was standing in front of me during the sushi demo (yum!) and I noticed her shifting her weight from her left to right foot about every 2 minutes....took me about 5 minutes to realize: I don't have to do that anymore at least as often lol. Or so early on in a day. I don't miss that!!

I was honest..I did this for me and my family..it's a positive choice..so why lie? You did nothing wrong..I am off insulin after there weeks.that's good and lost 25 in there weeks..sounds like something to be proud of to me

Be honest. The problem with trying to twist the facts is you have to remember exactly what you told who, then your story will change a bit with each person you tell.
Sooner or later the people you talk to will talk to each other, and with the differences in what each of them were told, they will figure out that you are hiding something. Then they will either assume the worst (you're dying and hiding it) or they will lose respect for you because they now consider you a liar.
Additionally if gossip is a concern for you, the best way to thwart gossip is to lay it all out there yourself.

Very correct, and my idea of what to tell people is the truth. Why do I get attacked for that?
And BTW, Apple emoticons don't show up on this forum.

Oooo ooooo, I'm a May sleever, May 23rd will mark my 1year anniversary. Good luck to all future May Club members.

Congrats on getting back on track Bill. I think pretty much all of us that are over 6months post op know that sometimes it can be a struggle. But you have what it takes to get the job done. I recently fell off the wagons myself, I really does feel good to get back on and see those numbers start heading in the right direction. I look forwarward to more updates from you. Good luck!!

I'm guessing that is a jab at me? To be honest, some of the worst post in this thread are yours.
But then that's my opinion.

No kidding! Lol. If I had known how big it would have gotten, I would have done things differently. Not going back now. The people I work very closely with 40 hours a week are mostly all very judgemental.

I told everyone that my gallbladder needs to be removed. I figured I might run in to trouble later if my gallbladder REALLY needs to be removed, but I'll cross that bridge when/ if I get to it.
My problem now, it that two other coworkers have come in saying they need their gallbladders removed too, and wanted to know why my surgery and recovery will be different. Sigh. I broadened my great lie with, they found something in one of my pre-op tests and are not just going in to remove my gallbladder. When they asked for more details I told them it was a bunch of long medical words I haven't had time to research yet, but my doc didn't look worried.
I've never spun a web of lies like this before, I'm no good at it. Lol. I'm sure this will all snow ball down on me later.

Since when is NOT telling your personal business LYING? ???? geez LMAO
