I know how you feel. I was terrified to tell my family. I waited until the day before surgery to tell them. I was afraid they would try to talk me out of it and I wasn't going to let that happen. This was the first thing I had ever done just for me!! But, in the end, the were supportive because they could see how much it meant to me.

I am almost 4 months post surgery and down almost 60 lbs. I am so excited but I am so afraid that I will gain it all back. I am afraid to donate the clothes that are too large, for fear of needing them again. I know that this is psychological but it is making me crazy! I am eating right and doing my best, but......does anyone else have this fear? I am also frustrated because I feel like my only support is my husband, who seems almost to go overboard in the encouragement department. My mom is supportive, but never brings it up or gives me any validation (It might be because she is jealous because she would like the surgery.). Although we live in a large city, there is not a support group. Can anyone help me on ways I can stay encouraged? Thank, Kerri
