Shocker

Wow, today was a shocker.  I have elected to keep the nature of my surgery a secret.  Not a Secret but more of a Need to Know basis.  So on that note, other than family and some close friends I have not told anybody.  Well today A co-worker asked when I was having my hernia fixed.   And I just blurted out.  That I am not, that I am in fact having weight loss surgery.  Now here is the shocking part.

He said.  Dude that’s so awesome.  You are going to feel better, your headaches will go, I’m sure your Diabetes will get better.

I was stunned.  This is not the reaction that I was expecting.  None the less it was an awesome reaction.

This reaction made me feel good on the inside.  There was no (man you gave up, you don’t need surgery) so.. That’s awesome makes me feel that it was more acceptable then I perceived it to be.

This simple act of encouragement from one person has really made my day, and made me feel less ashamed.  There was always the feeling of failure with my previous weightless attempts.  So this really boosts my ego and strokes my id.  Wow…. I feel energized.

Today I weighed 341    14 days to Opti.
