Good Luck

Jaw dropping. You look amazing!!

I know the feeling very well. My family is against me having surgery. I just mentioned it once and received a lot of back lash . I am keeping it to myself between 2 best friends my husband and wls group. All the support you and I need .

Thank you for the post 🤣

Congrats [emoji322]

Thanks for posting I needed to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

I really like your posts it resonates with me thank you for sharing

What’s important is that you continue to make steps. I totally know how you feel. Don’t be nervous. Deep breaths. It’s going to be okay. Just stay focus and don’t get derailed. We are all in this together.

If not , let me be the first 🤦🏽‍♀️. Today I went to my initial psych evaluation and the doctor told me that because my family had previously diabetes high blood pressure and etc. that I was predisposed to have as well and she said that my family did not know how to eat therefore I don’t know how to eat and my children won’t know how to eat .she then went on to tell me that I have poor eating habits .she then told me I should join weight watchers and she made a sarcastic joke saying hey look I’m trying to help you out you’re about to get yourself all cut up [emoji849][emoji15] So yeah I figure that I share with you how my psych evaluation went today was quite interesting let alone very him how can I explain it I felt like she was putting her finger in my face. Talk about rubbing salt into a wound

You sound motivated stay encouraged . You just do fine . You got this !

Oh that’s great news !! Yaaay !

Good point , she claim she see a lot of bariatric clients for evaluations. But gosh she is very opinionated and she telling me what she think I should do and discourages WLS. I was under the impression I was going for evaluation and not judgement. WW is too much charting and counting points for me and I know few ppl that gain double afterwards. Thank you so much for your support

Thank you !! She is terribly Old lady [emoji70] that know all lol ! She owns a small practice. You made a good point. I should do just that ! Really good post !! I hope this Wednesday is our last meeting because u plan to take some of your suggestions and really let her know a thing or two about her unprofessionalism . I was so conflicted with her that I went straight to grocery store to stock up on veggies which is not a bad thing at all but I felt bullied and judged big time by her. Funny thing is she told me that she’s a diabetic herself, but had no need to take her meds in 2 months because “she eat right” . She is not in the best shape her self she could benefit from a sleeve if you ask me lol ! But thanks again for the support & encouragement [emoji173]️.

Thank you ! Your absolutely right.

Oh lucky you! That is great. I wish I had that option

Glad to know I’m not alone. When I left my appointment I felt Like I did something totally wrong. It was really strange. But nevertheless, I’m focused on the end goal If I could bump up my surgery I would . Are you going to Tijuana Mexico? I met some ladies that went there and the had a wonderful experience. The after care I heard was amazing.

You just have to learn to let it roll. And focus on the end goal

That’s exactly what I don’t want including the scrutiny. I’m not saying a word. [emoji850]

I am determined and excited for this new change and I vowed not to tell my family until after surgery because each of them have an opinion about weight lost. I’ve always been the chubby one since I can remember and was called horrible names and made fun of because of my weight. 9 yrs ago I lost weight and to them it was too much weight ( 178lbs) size 8 from 215lbs. I was bullied to eat more [emoji50] like seriously . So this time I’m standing my ground and I’m going to do it my way ( with doctors help of course) I’m excited [emoji4]

You are absolutely right I will write a nice long letter.

She said she trying to save me from getting chopped up .i was really disappointed with our meeting ! She did ask questions relating to my family health history and told me I was predisposed to health problems and to die early. She was really cold.

No she recommend that I do weight watchers and see her again next week.

I know the feelings very well. I’m a secret soon to be sleeved . This September

Same here As you, my husband and 2 friends know that I will be having the procedure done. My family is way to critical.
