    My "friends and family" on FB are talking about me to my parents as to how I post updates on my weight loss and such every week. They told my parents that they are about to block me because they think I cheated the system by getting this surgery. My parents are snubbing me as well. Why can't I just get support on this? I was sleeved on 12/22 so it's not like I can change my mind now. Besides why would I want to change my mind on bettering myself? OMG this frustrates me to no end. My dad will say if you had just run before then you wouldn't have been obese and needed this surgery. My mom will look at what I eat now and say if you had just ate like this before surgery then you would have fixed the problem a while ago. My highest weight was 270. It was 253 when I got the surgery. It is 223 now just 4 week later! I had chronic gastritis. I had GERD. My heart was starting to harden in 1 of the chambers. I have 2 heart murmurs. My family is well known for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other things. Did they just want me to wait until I died??

    I'm so sorry your family has done this. My family are the only people I told. I share nothing unless I want to. I'm blessed with a supportive family. I did meet an amazing woman in one of my nutrition classes while going through this tough process. Her and I had Rny surgery a month apart. We don't live in the same city but she has been an amazing support. She's like my sister and checks with me,gives me what she learns. Maybe try to meet up with someone going through the same thing. Can't wait to see my surgery sister and Celebrate our success together. You deserve support. It's one of the hardest thing to do. If people think of it as the easy way out.....wow. they have lots to learn! Good luck and best of luck my friend. Keep your head up and stay off Facebook. It will make YOU FEEL FREE!

    I'm waiting to hear the same. I'm on Wellbutrin XL on the morning and Duloxetine in the evening. No anxiety meds, although I'm on atenelol for my rapid heart beat. I have 9 scripts, take about 30 pills a day with my Vitamins. Thinking about crushing all of these and taking them scares me. Actually makes me ill, but I guess I have to figure it out. We can do it!

    I'm in the same situation. Tried crushing but couldn't stomach all that. I got a pill splitter and break them into little pieces that I could swallow down. Much better. Hope this helps.
