If you are planning to keep your WLS a secret...

Like others do not make it a point of telling people. But when asked I tell them about my Rny. I don't feel right saying that I'm eating less and exercising more. We all did that in the past and did not get these kind of results. I feel like I'm making others feel like why can't I do that? When I don't tell them I had surgery to help.

I had decided upfront if someone would ask me i would tell them about the WLS - there was only one time that i didnt disclose the WLS was when at my dentist office someone said oh, you must have had surgery - just assuming that is the only way anyone ever could lose weight so i didnt admit it to her....but for anyone else that has ever asked me i have shared my story and they have always been so very supportive - my entire office knows, my entire family, many friends...Now dont get me wrong, i dont blast it on FB, if someone says WOW, you look good-i take the compliment and leave it at that...but if they ask me how i have done it - i do share with them - as that is what lead me down my path-knowing and seeing others that had been successful on their journey-if i can just help one person with their decision - as it has been one of the best decisions made in my life.

Basically, for now. My husband knows. I'm not telling anyone else, though. I would tell my parents & siblings, but my mom, even though I love her dearly, is a big mouth. She tells everyone everything! I don't want everyone to know, and she really would tell everyone. Every relative, all her co-workers, friends, my old high school friends if she ran into them, and so on. 

I am luckily not in the same town as her, so it'll work out fine as far as that goes. Honestly, I am angry about it. I want to tell her, but I also don't want everyone to know, so I have to keep it from her. :(

I am though, considering telling my brother & SIL. They would keep it from her, but I feel bad doing that, but I also know they would be supportive of my decision, so I keep going back & forth.

Hect I told all my friends and family. I put my weight loss on FB so friends and family can see how I am doing on my journey. I get tons of support from them all. Every one is different. You have to do what works for you.
