First support group meeting

Jan 10, 2013

It was very interesting. The room was packed. I came back feeling a little less enthusiastic, but a bit more realistic. Which I think is good. The saddest thing was hearing about how some family members and friends treated them differently afterwards. One guy was in shock that could happen. Makes perfect sense. You're not the reliable fat friend/sister/daughter anymore. I heard one post-op woman say under her breath, with a sad look on her face, "You're no longer a doormat."

I think this is going to be a serious issue for me to deal with afterwards.......le sigh.

Also, my cab driver was an ASSHOLE. And he looked like Joe Dirt
