I finally had the "talk" with my mom. She took it a lot better than I expected, she was actually ELATED...now I'm all weirded out....it was like that awkward moment when you find out your mom thinks youre really fat *tears* lol

My mom took it well too, totally threw me for a loop. lol. I keep expecting her to say something negative about it, but she hasn't. I think at some point moms just realize we are adults and really just want the best for us.

I'm just happy I have her for support as I am sure you are too. Just take it and run with it. Good Luck!

I think it's wonderful your mom recognizes your need and is willing to support you. It could be worse... My mom was convinced I was going to die. Like really convinced. She insisted on coming to the hospital and hovered over me pre-op like she'd never see me again. Not gonna lie- it really freaked me out.

Now, eight months and over a hundred pounds later, she agrees it's the best decision I could have ever made and looks at me in awe. She constantly says she had no idea how big I was until she sees me now. She's actually apologized multiple times for not seeing my need and supporting me.

Hugs-

Amanda

I haven't told my mom yet... but I think one of my sister's did... I told her I may have to have surgery for a hernia (which I may)... and when I was home she asked if i was still having my surgery.. I told her that I think so and she wanted to know if I needed her to come from MS to Chicago to stay w/ me... LOL...

I know she will be supportive, but I also know she will worry.. So, I will tell her everything once the surgery is over and I'm home recuperating for my 6 weeks!! I really excited to be away from work for over a month!!!

The people I have shared this with have been very supportive and helpful... My one friend who started spazzing out was fine after I told her I didn't need her approval or permission!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
