I'm triggering her depression?



Recommended Posts

This hasn't happened to me yet but I fear it may...

.....

true friends should always be supportive, and find something else to do with you if it isn't eating right?

You should be able to go to any restaurant and be with your friends and let them eat what they want, and you eat what you should eat according to your plan.

I would not ask them to change in any way, unless you find that being in that environment triggers you to overeat. If it does then you can ask them to change, but unless you actually try it and see that it triggers you, it's not fair to ask your friends to give it up because you think it might be a problem. After all, you are the one who has embarked on this journey of change, so if there is any hardship to be borne, you should be the first person to bear it, then after you have done what you can, ask them to help. You should only ask your friends to make a change to support you if it's something that does cause you a problem, not something that might could possibly cause you a problem.

If you do find that going out with them triggers you to overeat when you make your best effort not to, then by all means tell them that you enjoy going out with them and you want to spend time with them and that you value their friendship, and that you tried eating with them but it triggered you to overeat and could they please still spend time with you taking part in some other activity.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
