I did not tell anyone. My mother has always made fun of me about my weight (she's skinny) and I just did not want anyone to judge me. I told people I was seeing a nutritionalist to help me with my weight. The surgeon who did my surgery also offered diet plans for people who did not want the surgery, so I was actually lying to them. So when I would go to eat with friends I would explain that my nutritionalist has me eating slower and taking smaller bites. I explain that it isn't good to eat so fast that you end up eating more if you eat fast, so I am training myself to eat slower. I have not had one person question it. Then they are amazed how much control I have to push away my plate when it is still full. THe first 5 months after my surgery I was not able to eat with anyone. Not even my family. (I did not tell my kids about the surgery either. Only my husband and best friend) I explained to the kids that mom was on a diet and it is easier if I eat by myself. That way I wasn't forced to eat fast with everyone else. I will tell you, now that I am two years out of my surgery and have met my goal, I wish I had just told everyone. Now I really can't go back on it, because they would be mad at the story I told about seeing a nutritionalist. Now that I am skinny, I would not care if they judge me....because I am free of all my fat. But I know why I did it in the beginning, and it was because I was insecure due to my weight. I hope my story has helped.
