When you’re developing your support team, be patient with people. The changes in you impact them in some way and change can be difficult. Be open and provide gentle education and guidance—asking clearly for what you need. Many will adjust with time and your relationship will be stronger than ever. Your journey may be richer if you are able to develop a strong group of supporters around you, but also remember that you don’t need anyone but yourself to be successful. With the help of bariatric surgery, you need to take control of your food and exercise behaviors. Be determined and steadfast in your daily efforts.
