You should not think about that just the night before your surgery! I told my friends weeks (even months) after I did it, and even if some were worried about my decision, they all have been supportive, I am sure your friend will be too.

If your instincts are telling you not to say anything to her because she has strong opinions, there is a reason. Don't say anything. Once you are out, feeling better and more comfortable in your new routine, think about it, but your mind already knows how she's going to react. If you don't think she's going to be supportive, then don't say anything. I didn't tell my mother or my sister. I'm 6 months out. They still don't know. Most people in my life don't. My husband and two teen daughters do, but other than that maybe 2 or 3 friends. That's it.

Don't tell her, plain and simple!!! This is YOUR journey. You don't need her approval/disapproval.

Don't tell her till after.

Couldn't agree more with previous posters. You're going through enough, just focus on you! Good luck with surgery!

Keep it QUIET, since she is so opinionated. You don't need ANY negative energy going into the surgery and in the first 3+ weeks of recovery. When you get back to "regular food" you can revisit the topic. Until then, let her wonder about how you are losing so much and feeling so much better!
