Buddy...anyone?

Struggling!!!

A whole year has gone by already and I have received more negative than positive from family and so called friends. Now I am concerned and feel ashamed because I have not lost as much as I should have. I did not even Celebrate my first surgerversery (sp). Just healing from two major surgeries at the same time (RNY & gallbladder) was enough but now I realize that the negative reactions sent me more into a depressive state. My starting weight was over 500, maybe there is a willing buddy out there who has been successful with losing a massive amount of weight too.

Only immediate family and my coworkers and boss (all very supportive) know I've had RNY. It's not a secret and if they ask, I'll tell them, but I didn't want to hear any negativity, cause it's bound to happen. My husband has been great! made all his own food or brought it home, so that I didn't have to cook food. I encouraged him to get food if we were on the road. Didn't bother me. I'm very blessed to have such a carring husband.
