Be sure to enjoy the "Dang, I messed up!" look in his eye when you nonchalantly smile, say hi, and walk right on past him.

Wow! That is fantastic! Congratulations. With that type of willpower and motivation, I know you can do it too! Good Luck with your surgery, I just had my sleeve surgery on Monday and everything seems to be good so far. You'll do outstanding! Congrats again and Good Luck!

i dont tell anyone for a few reasons.... #1) i dont tell people my personal business. i wouldnt tell them if i was having a hysterectomy, or something like that so why would i tell them im having a sleevectomy? #2) i dont feel like hearing the negative comments. even though some people may be supportive, i dont really want to take the chance of someone not being supportive. they are still there for the weight loss journey they just dont need to know the nitty gritty details. i get plenty of support from my hubby and my daughter, i dont need anybody else. im glad that you are happy with your decision though.

For me I had no problem telling my Parents and will probably tell the rest of my family after the fact. But I'm completely and utterly mortified of people at my work place finding out. It's embarrassing to me. And I think the reason is because it's admitting out loud that I'm FAT. Before I would just pretend people ignored that about me, but actually saying to them "Hey I'm fat and can't lose weight on my own" that just makes me want to crawl under a desk and never come out. Ironically I actually ended up telling my boss because 1) it made it easier to request that much time off and 2) I figured he would realize it eventually anyways. It was difficult telling him but i did it via chat and that took some of the sting off. I still don't want my other coworkers to know, but i figure after its done i'll probably end up casually mentioning it to them. I'll still be embarrassed but i've told myself to just suck it up and move on.
