Heading Off To Camp On Sunday

Wow...a year has passed and I am off to my really really cool summer job as a camp nurse for the next week. It is a wonderful YMCA camp ion the NC mountains and my daughter gets to go for free in exchange for my working. So...do I tell these people about my surgery if they ask?? Or do I just tell them I went on a diet?? They are young and may just not get the whole WLS thing!!! I may just skip the surgery thing........I would always tell anyone who I thought myay benefit from the info! What do ya'll think???? Jen PS I can't wait to participate in all the awesome things I have had to pass up the past 2 years!!!

Have a blast, Jen! Have fun doing all those things that you've wanted to in the past. I cannot wait to hear about the reaction you get from folks and the things you were able to do this year. Ummm, whether to tell or not. Geez. That's a hard one. I know that you would be able to explain the surgery well to anyone - no matter the age. Kids do watch TV and such and probably have heard about the surgery anyway so it might not be that foreign a thing for them. Oh I dunno. Enjoy your week! Kathy

I hope you have a great time and enjoy the compliments and ooh's and ahh's as they see the New Jen. We do appreciate you here Jen. We were visiting in the NC mountains just a couple of months ago. It was soooo beautiful there. About your question: I sort of go by instinct. If I feel led to share about the wls with certain people I do - but with some ...it just doesn't feel right to bring up. I say you will probably just know when and if to share. best wishes, Mary

Jen, Sounds great! Yes, it is so fantastic that we are set free to enjoy life!!!! I've always taken the straightforward approach about my surgery. But, do what feels right at the time... Lori

Oh how fun!! Do you think they need a database administrator? Enjoy the compliments you get ... I probably would just say you cut back portions, ate few carbs, and exercised. That's the truth. Eileen

Thanks for your answers. I can't wait to get out and enjoy my summer! I think I will go with Eileens suggestion. That was pretty much what I was going to do. If I think someone (staff) needs to know for their own reasons I will tell them. Talk to you all next week!!!!
