Initially I decided not to tell people about my weight loss surgery decision.but later I'm like it's my choice so sure I'll tell people.I'm still 5 months away from surgery but I've been called lazy, impatient and told told I'm going to look horrible after, by Family!!!!!!!!!! Wtf I'm so mad I opened my mouth!!!

Congratulation on getting healthy. WLS is not a cure all. It's a tool that takes a lot of work. I am healthier. Not as thin as I would like but I don't always eat perfectly and exercise enough. I am to blame. I don't like sharing my WLS with most people. I never share pounds lost.

At first I did not tell anyone but as I've lost weight I found that half truths do not work for me. So I tell those who matter and have received nothing but support.

Sounds like the people surrounding you are more worried about how WLS is going to effect them. Are they worried that their lifestyle may change too?

You go girl. You are doing this for yourself, not anyone else.

The family will come around to your side once the surgery is complete.

Yeah I told a couple ppl when I was thinking about lapband but I'm getting the vsg and I've since decided against telling ppl other than my husband and mother I'm going to tell everyone else that I had a hiatal hernia repair and loss weight on the pre op diet and I got motivated and ran with the weight loss. Or something like that lol

It got to a point with my sisters that I said "we are not discussing anything about my surgery". All my brothers were behind me 100%, but not the girls.

Anyway, now they are more supported although my oldest sister thinks I am going to lose too much weight! I'm not even at goal yet...

@@par1959 What happened to sticking to your opinion? I believe you deleted your comment. Any way, I'd still like to address your ignorance and lack of logical thinking. If someone in their 20s is having WLS, there's a good chance they've had this disease all of their life. Children do not buy/ cook their own food. They don't enroll themselves in sports or other outdoor activities. They don't buy televisions or video game systems to put in their rooms. A lot of obese young people are products of their environment... suffering from obesity at a very young age. Obesity is also a side effect (of sorts) of abuse. Many 20-somethings have WLS to gain control of their lives... control that they previously didn't have (and not by choice.) Please educate yourself before making a statement that makes you look like an ass because I'm sure you're a really nice person.

I'm 19 and I'm having surgery on the 7th of July. And I am definitely not lazy. I've played sports my whole life and have danced. Having this surgery is the only way i am going to lose the weight I need to in order to live a healthy life. This decision was in no way easy. The only people that know are my parents and my sister and brother.. I don't know how my other family members would react but at the same time it's my life so who cares if they think negatively about it.. Good luck everyone!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
