Depression after surgery?!

Jennifer-

It sounds like it might be time to trim the fat (pun intended) from your life. You need a support system and a group of people who will be there for you. You are the same person regardless of your eating habits. You need people who are going to be there for you through thick or thin (again pun intended.) Your eating habits are only a small part of who you are and they should love you for you. If you need anything we are all here from you and you are not alone in this journey.

Jennifur,

You said the exact reason that I didnt tell any of my friends...I didnt want them to think of me as different. This mothers day we went to BBQ at inlaws and I sat at the kids table to keep everyone from noticing what I was eating...all of the sister in laws are over weight and we have all been on diets together..and it never works...its like a sabotage thing going on...someone did mention me losing weight...I just said, yeah I have a little...and changed the subject....I am no longer gonna be the biggest fattest sister in law...and I KNOW that noone is gonna like it...thats why I am keeping it to myself....I dont want people to treat me different...Yeah, maybe you are acting different, but so what, you just went through a major surgery, lost your BEST friend(food) and they want you to be happy and upbeat all the time...well, its NOT gonna happen...you are on a new journey to a new life...not that you cant keep your same friends, but they need to not be selfish and to learn to love the new you...Just me 2 cents....seems like I am ALWAYS giving it too...LOL...Deanna..

p.s. Good luck and keep your chin up...looks like we are the same age...
