Bikini Beachy, Not alone with the family/in laws. My brother-in-law decided to announce this for me at a birthday party. "The next time you see Tammie, she'll be much smaller." This lead to really strange and rude questions from people who don't know me. Like "Are you sure you tried everything? You have a an addiction, are you sure this is going to work for an addiction? You do have a nice face, too bad about your body." I live in Holland so some of the comments were just retarded, though we can try to blame cultural difference. Like you, I just cannot appreciate comments or advice about eating or drinking tea without sugar. I have told my boss and some close colleagues. I have just warned them not to dramatize it. I prefer to melt. This is my first message. I joined two days ago and I am bombarded with info. Hang in there with the family. Patience. Surgery date: Sept 10, 2008 Start weight: 289
