Lesson learned! I told a lot of people thinking they would be happy for me because of my health. BUT instead I got a lot of negative response. I heard jealousy and envy from some people. BUT that's ok because this is my life and I know what is best for me. These people have health issues themselves. I can't worry about what people think.
I'm waiting on a surgery date, but I think I will have to tell people who ask that I did it to get healthier, and in my case, to save my kidneys because of my diabetes. I'm just praying that once the surgery is done, my diabetes will go into remission. I'm at the point now where food just isn't appealing to me much anymore, but I still can't lose weight, even cutting carbs. I can totally give up sugar, never been a huge candy/cookie/cake eater. I have no problem telling anyone about the surgery because it's my business, they haven't lived my life, nor have they struggled with serious health issues due to being obese. If they have some snarky comment about it, that's their problem, not mine. Just my take on things.
I'm on Day 2. Still a little discomfort. The trapped gas is the real killer. I keep walking and taking the Gas X. I hope to feel better soon. I'm just so tired.
