I had my surgery done on 5/24/2014 and because I have hid it from everyone, except my husband.  I try to eat "normal" in front of my extended family.  I have had horrible dumping, nausea and vomiting as a result and my weight loss has not been what is expected on the 1st month, it has been much less.  You may ask why did I hide it from friends, family, etc.  The answer is simple, they do not approve of surgery.  They always have snarky comments to make.  Especially my brother and even worst, his wife.  She has always been envious of me and has competed on everything with me, my house, my kids, my shoes, my weight, you name it she wants it.  Back to why I'm sabotaging my weight loss and putting my life in danger, well I want it to look as if I'm losing weight the "normal" way, not my surgery.  I know silly and STUPID me, my husband tell me, stop, don't eat that, you got nothing to prove to them, your kids need you, forget everyone else.  Yet I can't seem to stop overeating or eating the wrong things in front of them, and even then they make stupid comments.  Why am I here?  I NEED help, I need support, words of encouragement, tips for avoiding or confronting my "family" anything, just anything that may help me make the best of this procedure while keeping my head up against all those who wish me to fail.
