Telling your job



Recommended Posts

I told them. I've heard horror stories of bulimia intervention days that people were surprised with because they didn't tell their coworkers!

I haven't had to tell anyone because I am a teacher and had the surgery over the summer. I'm not sure how I will handle it when I go back to school in a few weeks. I really don't want co-workers to know because it would inevitably make its way to students. There are a lot of gossipers at my school!

I have only told a few people, because I don't want the negative responses I would get from some people. I didn't even want my kids to know, but they have both been to the spots with me over the summer so now they know!

When asked I will just tell people I am eating healthier and exercising which will all be true!

I wish I had a good support system but I don't. I am very grateful I have all of you!

I went out to eat with colleagues and ordered something I had eaten a few weeks prior but this time I'd just gotten a fill and it was BRUTAL. I had to excuse myself 4 times to go to the bathroom. I can see why the bulimia interventions could happen. Lol

I worked for an evil man who fired me when he found out that I had the surgery he said it was not necessary and that I took time off of work that wasn't medically necessary.. unbelievable!

I was open with my co workers we are really close at times I feel they were and are more supportive than some of my family also another co worker got the sleeve several months before I was banded and she was nervous about what people would think but after seeing the great support I received she became very open with her surgery so we continue to support each other.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
