Went to the waterpark with my daughter & Grandkids & had a Blast!! It felt great to actually feel confident in a swimsuit in public, not worry that I was the largest person there & everyone was staring at me....& best of all...to be able to do the Water slides without worrying about the weight limit!! I LOVE my sleeve!! :-D

I lived in morro bay when I was at Cal Poly and I had my surgery at good sam!

I was sleeved 5/14 and I'm back on puree b/c my tummy didn't like softs when I tried them this past week. I went to my son's baseball tourney all day yesterday(my first all day outing since surgery) and I was sitting around all the parents eating snack shack foods..soft pretzels, bbq, burgers & hot dogs, nachos...it was tough, but I stayed focused on my son and the game and I made it through.

Uh...80% of my closet LOL!

I have a husband that doesn't cook and 3 kids that have hollow legs. Although the snacking has gone down tremendously they never let me forget LOL But, I completely understand what you are saying. This post made me smile

They really might not notice 15 lbs. If you want to keep it private, I would say something like thank you for asking, you were on medical leave, but feeling much better now--then change the subject. Completely true. I think it's a personal choice how much info you want to share, but once you share even a little detail (like getting surgery to help you lose weight to help with PCOS--which is true too), be prepared for followup questions, because you will sort of be inviting them.
If you just say medical leave and send signals that you want to keep it private, someone would have to be pretty rude to ask more about it. And you could avoid answering.
Once you tell people you had WLS, they will start asking how much you have lost so far constantly--and if you hit a stall it will make it even more depressing. Again, it's a personal decision, but for me, I didn't want to be under a microscope by people I don't even know that well. Others would rather be very open, and I support that decision too, but it sounds like you are leaning in the other direction.

Mine is the 14th as well and I have been in hysterics all day. The thing that makes me excited is looking at people's before and afters and how happy they are. But at the moment all I seem to think of is all the negatives so I completely get it.
