Are You Going To Tell Anyone About Your Surgery???



Recommended Posts

Another thing!

I don't want to tell anyone until I'm actually approved.

To me... that's like telling someone you're pregnant when your period's 2 days late!

If I don't get approved for some reason, I don't want to have to go back and tell everyone and get those sad-puppy-dog-eye looks... ugh!

Another thing that sucks about having told people is that now they are constantly asking me how much weight I've lost. I've only lost ten pounds. I still have 40 to go. it's a process.

I really don't know what I am going to do about telling others. I am in the beginning stages and have my evaluation appointment. I have mentioned to a few people, family members and a couple close friends and they were more supportive of the idea then I thought they would. My husband doesn't want me to but I think he will support me when I make the final decision. I have a hard time keeping things to myself so doubt if I will be able to keep it a secret at work but I would like to keep it private.

I decided to tell only those I cared about and trusted. Having their support is crucial to me and so far everyone has been supportive and this has been really valuable in going through my journey. I do think it is a personal decision but it is good to have that openness and support around you.

Best of luck!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
