I have been keeping my weight loss surgery a secret from everybody, and its been very hard especially through holidays. I cant eat solid foods yet, and every get together is surrounded by food. I have been pretending to eat and when no one is looking I spit in napkin, and shovel the rest on my husbands plate. This has caused a lot of pain, spitting up, and it sucks. My husband and mom are the only ones that know. Had to tell my mom because she needed to dogsit for us. She grilled me, and stressed me out even more, and so I would rather not share my journey with those closest to me, because they stress mr out. I just want to come out of the closet with it, so there is not so much presssure. Why are you not eating, you need to try this etc. Sometimes I pretend to be sick, then people are concerned because I have already lost 27 lbs in 3 weeks. Family and friends are so quick to judge, I feel like I have to keep this a secret as well. Maybe oneday I will tell everyone, but for now I am stuck.
