I would say my parents are my biggest enemy when it comes to food. They know my surgery is soon and every time I go over there they shove food at me. Yesterday it was breadsticks I declined. My birthday is 12 days after surgery. They said sell you can have a cake with whipped frosting. I said no cake no sugar. They said you can have a sugar free cake...they just don't get it or care.

Well props to you for staying on track with that kind of pressure. Maybe you can talk to them and tell them how you feel?

Nah..they are against me having surgery. I told them not everything has to revolve around food.< /p>

My family is very supportive but I do get strangers who find out and are against it. I dont know why they think I will listen to strangers, its like my life is not at all influenced by you. This one guy wanted his spiritual diet friend to talk to me. And its like you know what, I have been in this body for a while now and I have been thin too. But it takes too much work and suffering to maintain that body type with help. I just cant stand when thin ppl think they have the answers bc unless you have been obese and struggled, you have no freaking clue what it is like! So shut up and let me live my life.

That is awesome that you are standing behind your decision to save your own life! I know it has got to be really hard when it is your parents who don't support you. Hopefully when they see all the positive changes they will get behind you on this.

Can't believe it's only 16 days away!!!

My mom was all for the surgery up until this last week, she is getting nervous and doesn't think it is a good idea. My dad and grandfather are totally against it. This is all because my aunt had the band and has good luck with it....so far. They don't understand why I have to do the rny. When I try and explain to them that they are not recommending the bad anymore, they don't get it because my aunt is doing fine still. Ugh! I just reassure them and tell them that I've decided on this type of surgery and everything will be fine.

3 days for us sept 3rds! Woohoo its so close! I get the having people against your choice. My family thankfully stopped arguing with me about 3 months in and realized I am going to do what I want but its strangely enough my best friends grandmother (who is so close she's family to me) that is all over social media you don't need to do that it is not the right choice and my family and friends are worried she will weaken me but I keep telling everyone there is no turning back now, I already have the finish line to this race and the starting line to the next in my eye sight. Stay strong eventually they will see your not backing down!

My surgery date is September 10. I am relieved that the time is almost here. Has anyone used Physician Series Meal Replacement? It taste great!

[emily.brokaw 2]

My surgery date is September 16th too! Only two more weeks you guys!! It's so exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. I've never had a surgery of any kind before so I'm really nervous! I'm also extremely nervous about having gall bladder issues and then needing a second surgery later on! I've been shopping for the things I need little by little because who knew it would be so expensive?! Today I'm making another run to the store to buy some Soups etc. congrats to all of us on this life changing journey!

Lmao. I am so not doing it. They've seen worse I'm sure and I'm not too worried about looking gorgeous for them
