For those that are on Facebook

Go to privacy settings ...My pastor is my friend but I had to block him from certain things for days when I get out the pocket... You can block them from your status, wall, comments.etc

Howdy neighbor,
I've been only posting monthly pictures in my photos section on fb, and have not kept my revision a secret. For the most part, I've received a great deal of support but I have noticed that one of my cousins keep posting to the family about she and her brothers recent 2 days of just milk and 1 day of bananas diet. She claims that they have both lost 25lbs a week since beginning. Since I can't bring myself to morally support and congratulate something that unsafe, I do not expect her to support me which she doesn't although I know that she has made this whole thing a competition, and it attempting to prove that my way is wrong and hers is right so to speak.
 
That story is an example of the downside that sharing our delicate information can fester, so should you decide to share just be prepared for the good and the bad.

Kelli,  I thought about it myself for a very brief momment.  I don't want ery-body to know ery-thing.  So I opted not to mention it at all.  I will be offended if any of the folks that do know mention it on FB.  I will post some pics once I im down quiet a bit.  That will be my pride.   HOW U LIKE ME KNOW!!!!! 

I don't chronicle anything on facebook.  if I need to talk about my wls journey in detail, I may come here.  For me, FB is a means of keeping in touch with/re-establishing old bonds or starting some new ones. 

There are peeps on FB who don't know or need to know about my journey.  

Only those that know on FB are my BAF friends; a few family members and a few friends.  It's up to you who knows and who doesn't.  In my opinion it's not a secret; but not everyone has your best interest at heart; and I also try to keep BAF and FB separate.  I use FB as an outlet to be me; and act a fool; and BAF is my wls outlet. If you want to journal, personally that is what your OH page is for.  But it's totally up to you!!  I already have an FB stalker; that creates pages just to get to me; so just about everything is private and is customized for me only.

FB stalker....guuurrlll been there done that a few times already!!!

I had my page private; but you know sometimes they can send you a message.  That fool sent a message..girl I am scared to check my damn messages; but I blocked that too!!    LOL!

Nope.  Some people know I had surgery but we don't talk about it.  FB is my place to be me and talk about my life and keep up with my old hometown folk.  OH is place I come to talk about my surgery. 

Unfortunately I can be found on each of them (Facebook, myspace, twitter, tagged, 360) I now primarly post on facebook,Twitter and here. Each site was setup for a reason

FB = College buddies
Myspace = Fellowship
Twitter = can access from work lol!
OH = Support for WLS
360 = It was a Tennesse thing

I will only post before and afters here though because most folks dont understand what it is to be OW so thats my $0.62

I posted something once about weight loss in general and everyone asked how'd you do it and i replied eating right, plenty of water, and exercise. I prefer not to put things on blast on fb but am really open about the surgery. People are 2 judgemental for all of that and then you get a million questions.
