Anyone else feel like they have to be a Spokesperson?

Does anyone else feel like they have to be an ultra-positive spokesperson for this surgery? Everyone I know is aware I've had the surgery because I'm pretty much an open book. In general, I don't mind but sometimes when I'm having a difficult day I still feel like I have to be perky and positive. I'm only about 5 weeks out and some days my limited choices of 6 foods are not sitting well and I'm sick of it. I feel like I'm not allowed to say that I'm having a rough day because, "I did this to myself." As an external example, I'm doing great. I've lost 20 pounds in a little over 4 weeks and had lost 30 before surgery. But on the inside I feel like a bad example. I don't know what I have to lose by saying I'm having a bad day but I guess I just don't want to be judged. Just wondering if anyone else feels like this.

Nope. Many paths can lead to success. And, till my fat self was ready, I would not have listened.

I don't think your the only one that feels this way. Many people try to be positive and lift you up because being negative will not change anything
