    SuperDave got a reaction from FluffyChix in Unsupportive Friends during Pre Op Diet   
    You have to keep in mind, this is your decision, not theirs. You are the one making the change, not them. It is unfair to expect people to act differently around you because of a decision that you made. This is scary for them too. You ARE going to change. You ARE going to be a different person. If you don't think so, then stop now. The whole goal here is to change.
    You can only control yourself, so work on that. You cannot control your friends, family or coworkers, so don't waste your effort trying. This is about you, not them.

    Really, it's not worth getting worked up over. You have changed, people are going to notice, why let that bother you? In time people will get used to the new you and the comments will stop.
    Worry about what you can control, let the other things go. For example, you can't control what people say, so let it go. You can control how you feel about or react to those comments, so work on that.
    For the most part, people are not trying to annoy you. They are simply noticing an accomplishment and want to let you know. The correct answer to "You are too skinny now" or "You look younger" or "That must have been difficult" is "Thank you for noticing, I have been working hard."

    Enjoy the bad breath, it means you are losing fat! In my first 2 years after surgery, I could always tell when a stall was ending by how bad my breath was in the morning. There is no great way to kill it. I used to eat a spoonful of Tabasco sauce to overpower it. I don't know if it made my breath better, but it got the awful taste out of my mouth for a while.

    SuperDave got a reaction from dg371 in My official break up with food   
    At 3 years post op and easily maintaining under my goal weight, this was the most important thing I learned. I used to idolize food. Weekend road trips were based on where I could eat. Vacations were all about the restaurants I could visit. Every aspect of my social life revolved around food and drink. Looking back, it was ridiculous! There is SO much more in life to enjoy, food now gets in the way. I can truly say that I'm over it, and I swear there is no better feeling!
