I told my coworkers. They are surprisingly supportive and positive. I was expecting negativity. One told me she is interested in doing so. WOW!!!

It is absolutely amazing isn't it? I felt so good after I told everyone. I got tons of support and well wishes. I expected people to be rude I guess. But the've all been great! And it made me feel super empowered and like I was owning my journey. You know what I mean?

I did not tell everyone, just the few close people I work with, my family and a few BFF's. I got total support from everyone, all said congrats and good luck on your journey - it was a nice feeling :)

We are overseas stationed in England hubby's military. I have only told a few friends back in the states and my parents. I told my boss and a few friends here as well some of my English coworkers were a bit crappy, but there jerks anyway. I haven't posted it full on but I bet I'd feel better if I did. I did run into a woman a few weeks ago that I started the process with and she was really rude she started out wow you look great then it was I decided not to have that surgery cause I love my family and don't want to die. She went on to tell me I can't take meds and if I get sick I could die. It took all I had to be professional we were at the school. I smiled and softly said I think you might have your information confused but this isn't for everyone and left it at that but boy I was fuming inside.

      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.
