LaInvestigadora got a reaction from jami.1992 in Guilt
I had mine 2 years ago and only my immediate family knows. It is truly personal and you are not required to tell anyone anymore than what you've been telling them. This is your "journey" and don't feel guilty or shame in not sharing. You don't feel guilty when you exercise, and do you give everyone your regime? Congrats on your decision to get healthy and your weight loss.

I had gastric bypass on 5/14 and as of this morning I have lost 54 pounds! A total of 64 pounds if you include the weight lost before my surgery...my issue is that people are starting to notice and ask questions...I have no regrets for having my surgery nor am I ashamed of the surgery...but when people ask how I lost the weight I freeze and tell them that I’ve been eating healthier and exercising regularly (which is true). But then after the conversation is over I feel guilty for not being 100% honest about how the weight is really coming off.
I know this is my business and I don’t owe anyone an explanation, but I’ve always prided myself on my honesty. So this is new territory for me because I feel like I’m lying to people.
A few friends, coworkers and close family members know about my surgery. so I feel like with so many people knowing, it’s bound to come out eventually...and I’m nervous to get called out on my lies.
I guess what I’m asking is if anyone else has kept their surgery a semi-secret? And if this guilty feeling will go away?
