I had the surgery 10 days ago my family kept trying to talk me out of it and telling me all the horror stories I don't have no regrets the first week is the hardest but i did it for me don't worry about what anybody else tell you do it for you it's not their life it will be ok

Thanks. I am not doubting my decision at all. I have mostly positive & supportive people surrounding me, but I can't pick my co-workers! I haven't even told certain people, like my dad or my in-laws, because I have no clue how they'll react and if it's negative, I really don't want to deal with it. I will let them know once.surgery is scheduled, but until then, I feel like there's no point. I am most nervous about deciding when to tell my dad. I don't want to pull a last minute shocker, but I don't want weeks of crap from him either!

HELP! I am getting negative responses from several people who know I'm surgery bound. One of my co-workers has been pulling all of her tricks out of the bag' date=' almost trying to scare me out of moving forward. She keeps telling me that I am mutilating God's design, I will never be or look healthy again, I will never be able to eat more than two bites of anything, I'm going to have diarrhea for the rest of my life, I'll likely gain back all the weight, & so on. She frustrates me beyond belief & of course, is someone who has NEVER struggled a day in her life with her weight! I wish I hadn't mentioned it. I get so caught up in her shocking statements that I can't even focus at work. What are you all doing to cope with the negative ninnies in your life?[/quote']

Listen my best advice is to just plainly tell her to keep her negative two cents to her self cus there are not wanted I hate bitches that think they can fit every body's shoes she is what I call a hater because she know that you will look better then her that's all just think positive and remember why you chose this path in the first place you live for you not her some people a tell all I had a couple of those and I send them right to hell

Lol. I do need to keep my job! I already told her nicely last week that this topic is off limits at work, but she has kept it up this week, so it looks like it's time to get my boss involved. We have such a small & close knit staff that we usually talk about everything in our personal lives, but this has just gone too far.

I'm sorry to hear that. Is he supportive now? I don't think I could do this without my husband's support!

I got the call yesterday that I need to be at the hospital at 830 Wednesday morning I can't believe it's this close having some issues with anxiety right now I haven't told many people I'm doing this bcz I didn't want the negative feedback and now I am feeling guilty .. Ugh

That's what I'm worried about. To tell, or not to tell, that is the question.

Yes I know lol I really agree its time to kick up a notch speak to your boss and give him or her the heads up on that its just that some people just don't get it when you tell them to stop

Omg!! I've been hearing negative things too. No horror stories just comments like "I'm not sure I'm ok with you doing this" from a friend that I have known for along time. I just said tough I'm doing it.

      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.
