Are you keeping your surgery a secret from family and friends?

Am I weird? I told everyone what I did. Then had to tell strangers because of the diet. But, I've never heard anybody whispering. But if they do....I don't give a crap. This was like my last resort. And it came to the fact that I needed help. So, I got help. End of story. Almost everyone I know and care about think I've done a great thing for myself and for my health. I realize not everyone is that way. I just don't care what people think of me or how I have chosen to get heathier.

Me too. People who don't get it....oh well...Walk a few yards in my old body and then tell me what you think.

One of the coolest things I heard was that a lady's couple of friends were unsympathetic to her surgery, telling her she took the easy way, so she laid out a challenge, she dared them to spend a couple of hours with her while she went on errands, provided they wear a 30lb vest the whole time, after an hours or so one of her friends said she couldn't do it anymore, the other stuck it out but complained of foot pain and back hurting, she told them how bout 175lbs 24/7, cause that was what she lost so far, ignorance can be turned into empathy by trying on another person's shoes!!!!!!!

Only my husband, mother and siblings will know. That's it.

I don't advertise it, but I don't keep it a secret. The important people in my life know.

Only my significant other knows. Everyone else (my parents, best friend) thinks I'm just on a strict diet!

So what do we do when friends are noticing our tiny portions?
