Told A Co-Worker

[Twinmom07 63]

I went to a family barbecue today on day 2 of my pre-op diet. My sisters asked a lot of questions but in a supportive way. My mother on the other hand asked me why I couldn't just stick to the diet a few more weeks and lose the weight Like other people do And then had the nerve to act put out that I didn't tell her it was going to be on the 5th of July! People just don't understand the struggle we have gone through for years before trying this so we can get our life back.

I've told people in my life, and I have had very kind positive feed back. My favorite one came from my ex-sister in-law. She said; "you've struggled with you're weight since I've known you." I know how hard you've tried, and I pray that all works out well for you. Good for you!

Another person asked me if I met the required weight, for surgery. I explained that it also has to do with family history and co-morbidity. And she said; I was taking a responsible step for my health.
