Telling the inlaws...

So I've made lunch and dinner reservations with both sets of inlaws (mom/stepdad & dad/stepmom) for this Saturday. We are finally going to tell them what's going on and that ill be having the vsg within the next few weeks. I know they will be shocked and have questions and I'm really Hoping they will be supportive. They've seen me struggle with my weight up and down and back up over the last ten years and I think we all know my weight has a part in why I can't have children. Wish me luck and courage!

Good luck!!!

I chose to wait and tell my in-laws AFTER I had the surgery. I was afraid they would try to talk me out of it. (They are all normal weight...so they don't quite get my struggle with being obese). When we told them afterwards, they were all supportive though.

Well! One set of in laws down and two BFFs and so far so good! I think they are all a little worried because of horror stories they heard from so and so cousins friends aunt. But they listened and asked questions and everything went well.

Lol. Though, I really thought I was going to throw up right before I told my mother in law. She loves me dearly though and is already very supportive!! Thank goodness!!

Good for you.....other than DH & one sibling who had WLS, I haven't told anyone else, didn't plan on telling anyone else.....and I'm starting to question this decision.....I know my sister will be very, very hurt if I don't tell her.......but she's a security risk LOL

So far so good! Everyone has been so supportive! I've told my two BFFs, my parents and one set of inlaws! I'm so proud of myself and I feel so loved that they are on my side!

It definitely gives me the confidence I will need later when I get asked how I'm losing weight by outsiders.
