Support

I had my surgery on May 15, 2017. When I had first started the process I had many people saying they would be there for me. I had others say don't do it cause it's the easy way out. The point is I feel like I'm going through my journey alone. It has had some affect on me. The ones who said they would be there for me is not around. I have lost 38 pounds since my surgery and I get people telling me "cool" but they say it in a tone like jealously. I have family members who no longer associate with me cause they don't want to be there for me no more. It hurts just wish I had someone to talk to about the struggles and the Accomplishments I go through Day to day.

I feel the same way. Seeking support is so hard and having someone that understands what you are going thru is rare. I have lost 70 lbs and people are genuinely happy for me but none of them really understands the mourning of the loss of food for comfort.
