chantal 4 Posted July 23, 2012 I received my approval phone call Friday and began my pre op diet Saturday morning!!! I am soooo excited to begin this journey. I have not told anyone other than my mom and my husband. My husband tells me I don't need the surgery however he is very supportive - my mom not so much. She tells me nothing is wrong with me that there are many other options - yep been there done that. I've lost >150lbs in the past 4 years (combined weight loss following two c sections) I have 3 children ages 5, 3, 5 months 1 whitneymalae reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izuri 428 Posted July 23, 2012 Yay! Congratulations =) Maybe your mom will turn around when she sees how great you're doing post surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilee84 648 Posted July 27, 2012 Congratulations! It was the best decision I ever made and I couldn't be happier with my progress! You need to be around for your kids and you need to be healthy for them and that's what you're doing. Next time mom says something negative about it, just tell her that you're doing it for your children and as a mother you'd hoped she'd understand that. 1 Jolie_KeMi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
