i have been struggling as well. i just started pre-opt screening. I don't want to tell very many people because i am ashamed. i am ashamed that i let this happen to me. Also, i am not telling because i have already been hurt enough in this fat shaming society and i don't need any one else's judgment. i have told a few and don't feel like they are being very supportive, part of that could be that they just don't know what to say. so now i am turning to this forum in hopes of making some good friends that are going through the same thing.
i am looking at hopefully February for surgery.
