I want to start blogging, but considering I haven't really told family or friends about my surgery...I feel odd blogging about it. At the same time, I want to share my experiences with like minded people...and help others along this journey. Plus, I feel it will keep me accountable. Those of you with blogs...is it worth it?

Its nice to clear your head. I tend to forget about it for a few weeks, then have catch-up posts hahah its worth a shot. if you dont like it, you dont have to keep doing it.

I would recommend it! You're going to go through a lot of changes & in the future, it will be inspirational to go back at look at your struggles, your victories, and everything in between! Good luck! Also, if you don't want your friends & family to know, you could always blog under an alias.

I'm really just starting my journey towards WLS...first apt with surgeon and NUT is on 07 July. I decided to do it so that I would have a complete record of what I was thinking at each stage so that when I hit a stall, or get down I have something remind me of why I did it. I also have not told a lot of family yet, but if/when I do, I can share the blog with them as a way to bring them up to speed on the journey....plus sometimes I just have to be snarky and writing it gets it off my mind...

Congratulations! Happy for you. Wishing you well on your journey!

I started one on blogger, just not published yet. I'll share it with you all once I do :-). I struggle with telling people close to me because of the negative comments they have already made about this kind of surgery. It really sucks there is a stigma attached to it, when it helps so many!

Good luck, @@4me4them ! You are making the first steps to a new you! The first steps can be frustrating....a lot of appointments, but it's worth it :-).

My blog did help me in the begining. Then life got crazy and I didn't have time for it and the closer to my goal I got the less exciting blogging felt. If you don't feel like blogging I think you can acheive the same feeling it would give you on this board.
