Wow what a dick. That made me so so so mad. No one can tell you you're eating the wrong thing except your surgeon' date=' nut and yourself. Stuff him, the unsupportive git needs a good slapping. Angry on your behalf mommy[/quote']

Thank you!!!

People are so ignorant to just what this surgery entails...people think we are weak and taking the easy way out....but they are wrong all the years dealing with being over weight..takes a certain strength in itself. And this surgery is the hard road..we will have great results..but they will be earned not handed to us...Be proud and we are doing this for us..

Sooo true and well said! I'm tired of people in my family labeling me as lash!

Sad to say some family are worse than enemies..I didn't tell any of my family not even my two sons that don't live home..although I know they would support me I'm afraid it might slip out..so I only told my best friend and my daughter that lives home..I'm so scared cause I feel so alone..I don't really have anyone..

You r not alone Jessica we r all in this together. I have no support either. My husband wants me fat and dependent on him. Well no. You have all of us so never feel alone.

Thank you so much and rbay..i was suppose to have surgery today but I have a bad cough and chest congestion so they postponed it until December 5th...if your husbands want you to stay overweight..that just shows his insecurities..it makes me laugh (not) when I hear that people have lost friends or even mates that always said "I love you the way you are"..now cause losing weight your they feel your out shining them or ..all of a sudden that"love"has turned conditional ..like as long as your less than me I will love you..some people just don't know the true meaning of love

I have to say I am extremely lucky my family is very supportive ((at least the ones that matter)) & my hubby is my rock he is 200% supportive he tells me every day how much he loves me the way I am and how lucky he is to have me and he wants me to do the surgery for me not him he says he cant stand to see me get upset about my weight

4 days post op!

I'm home now. Feel so good! I'm literally stuffed from 1oz liquids at a time! LoL it's amazing. Still have soreness and some gas pain but tolerable. Dr sent me home with some liquid Tylenol with Codine... just took my dose and ready for bed.

Im reading these posts about the lack of support and it makes me sad/angry to hear this. Didn't there mamas teach them... if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all.

I made my decision alone. My hubby knew all along I was considering it and was supportive, when I told him I was going thru with it. He said that he was behind me 100% cause it didn't matter what I looked liked but that I was healthy. He has been to support groups with me, he did his own research on the process and even knows what I can and cant eat. He is truly amazing. Some family members though... hmmm I had to tell a few to keep there negative comments to themselves.

Just keep true to yourself and keep the positive support close and you'll be okay!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
