I'm hiding my surgery from family anyone else ?



Recommended Posts

I did not tell anyone until about a month after surgery. I wanted to wait until I had my 1 month post op check up.

I told my sisters first. I have endless support from them. I hesitated to tell my father because he was always asking, how's the weight coming. I'm my head I thought, you still see it dont you ? I got so steamed. But you know, my sister talked to him about it and now he's one of the most supportive people on my journey. He wants me to be healthy. In my head, I thought he was being critical. It's bought us a little closer. We all have our own journey. Do whats right for you. As long as you have some support, you'll be ok. Good luck to you.

My mom, brother, and cousin knows...thats it. I don't have time for the "you know that's not healthy. Why don't you just eat right and exercise?" Sermon from 98% of my very overweight family.

I have told my husband and 2 of our 3 children and a few people I work with because one just had her surgery done 4 weeks ago. I will tell my father, sister, and son when it is closer. They will be supportive but if I told them now they would try to discourage me.

I'm having my surgery on the 29th of Sept...I have told a select few about my up and coming surgery...My wife of course has been with me the whole way...just recently told my mother and in-laws... everyone has been good with my decision but there is always one in my family that will try to give advice...

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
