This so much. Sent from my HTC One M9PLUS using the BariatricPal App

Considering this surgery (and have been for a while) and one of the reasons I joined this site, was to gain group support. I, too, am alone. Scared of having to travel to a different continent alone, travel back alone (with a sore belly), take care of myself whilst an invalid, alone. Currently, this is my biggest fear. People I have shared this knowledge of this surgery with aren't supportive of it. Beauty is, I am learning from this, to be overall a supportive friend, regardless of what my opinions are regarding another person's choices. I don't blame them. If I weren't in my state, I wouldn't comprehend either. They see me in a positive light, as a person who can easily work off the weight. What they don't see is the 10+ years of weight struggle. Isn't there more to life? Why even live this life if you can't enjoy it? If your every thought is consumed with thoughts of shame, not fitting in, worrying over food, lacking a basic need like clothes coz none fits, etc? Honestly, if life is a gift, it's only fitting to cherish it. I want to try and cherish my life. I want to try. Coz i can't imagine another 10years of this. Id rather not exist.
