My Gastric Bypass Journey -Onwards and Upwards-Well this is a start

[Cowgirl]

Mandy I know how you feel chick, trusting people is so hard to do....I am having a bit of a weep this evening, my son got up from night shift and never even spoke to me just went on the computor, I felt totally insignificant and started to cry he never even asked how I was...what have I dont to deserve so little kindness from my kids.....my mate is coming around but she does not know about the surgery and I fear she will think I am stupid for having it, I need to explain that I was suffering with lack of sleep and headaches which were ruining my life but I feel I have to justify it.....I just long for some TLC....I vow if anyone ever wants my time and attention or TLC I will never refuse it I know how awful it feels....xx

I'm sorry you're so down Linda,

Why don't you just tell people, you don't have to justify it. Its and health and lifestyle choice. This is your life now, you've done what you have wanted to do for so long and you should be feeling really possitive. I can't stand the thought of you being unhappy. Just remember, you only have to go through telling people once and then they know and they dont have to be told again. Its a lot easier than everyone thinks. I just tell everyone, I made a group on Facebook and told all my friends together, how much I weighed, why I was doing it and the benefits to my life through it. Everybody has said how brave I am and I have so much support. Sometimes fearing what people might say or think is worse than actually telling them, I bet you'd be surprised and I'm sure you'd have so much more support. I'm sure your kids dont mean it, you know what boys can be like, they take mum for granted and don't always think!

Chin up pickle!xxxx
Love ya!xxxx
