Unexpected NSV...pre-op, if it counts
I'll try to keep this short and sweet. TRY being the key word, but I want to give the background.
I have a coworker who is in good shape (in my opinion) but constantly struggles with self image and weight management. She's much thinner than me and has expressed that she was picked on in school, which as a chubby girl my whole life have never really experienced, and I chalk it up to just different personalities.
Today at a training (the kind that leaves you wanting to stab you own eyes out) she caught me reading some info from the nutritionist. She asked what I was reading, as we have discussed weight loss issues many times, so I told her I was getting the sleeve in February. I wasn't sure what her response might be but I was pretty nervous. Her immediate response was,"Do you need someone to watch or help you with Dixie (my lab puppy)?" I was blown away by the gesture!
I may be pre-op but I am so thankful for the friends that I have made in life. Proof of my ability to make good choices!

That is very cool! Success comes from unexpected places! Are you going to take her up in her offer?
Sleeved 6/12/13 - 100 pounds lost to get to goal!
I agree! She has two labs of her own but my girl is a puppy, in every sense of the word. She literally prances like a deer when we play with the laser pointer. I don't know if I'll take her up on the offer but my mom offered to stay with me a few days after the surgery. My plan is to take my mom through puppy training and see if my pup responds to her. If so, I want my fur baby there for my recovery. If not, I fully trust my pup with my dear friend/coworker!
