I went to 2 support groups this week. Both were good but the 1 that was better is not at the hospital I'm having my surgery at. I'm having my surgery at the other but I think I'm switching support groups... is that unfair to me? others?

I enjoy this support group and the one on FB.

@@Sugary Sweetheart What made one better than the other? I actually belong to a few different Facebook support groups and I have noticed that some are more informative and supportive than the other, which can have a very negative feel at times.

How do you plan on explaining your weight loss after the surgery? Are you planning on telling people you had the surgery or another reason? I am on the fence on how I will explain it, especially since there are so many that criticize the surgery.

I have a surgery date of 7/11 and the pre op diet is a low carb, high Protein diet. I'm on the second week and am losing well. I've been fairly open about having surgery so if anyone asks I'll be honest. If they give me any flack I'll tell them what they can do with it.

I've been very open about my surgery. I don't feel it's right to tell people I lost weight with diet and exercise like a friend of my does. My surgery is not something I'm ashamed of and there are people who try to talk me out of it by saying they know so and so who gained it all back or died I just listen and go about my business

I'll tell the truth, I've been eating more healthily and eating less.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
