I'm sorry you're feeling sad. Know that you aren't alone. You've lost more than 100 pounds....that's fabulous!! Despite your mom's unkind comments you are doing a spectacular job.

Are you still trying to lose and having trouble, or just upset about things right now?

Congratulations on your weight loss. I know it's hard to deal with the expectations of family members, especially when they don't truly understand how hard it is.

I agree with the question above. Are you happy with your weight loss? Do you want to lose more?

Have you talked with your NUT about your goals?

You get to decide how you want to proceed from here whatever your particular goals are.

I have battled depression for years. May I recommend you also talk to a counselor or therapist? There is nothing wrong with seeking professional help to deal with depression and issues related to self esteem, image, weight loss, etc.

See if the psychologist who cleared you for surgery can see you or refer you to someone who is experienced working with weight loss surgery patients.

I also recommend a book I read recently. It's called Eat it Up! and was written by a therapist for people who have undergone weight loss surgery.

Do not give up. This is a lifetime and life saving journey. Just get up everyday and do something positive that will move you towards your goals. This is not a race and/or a competition. Therapy is often very helpful. Your journey is not over keep it moving this is something that only you can do! Be brave and steadfast!
