so glad you made the choice to have the surgery. I was very concerned after your initial post as it seems you are dealing with a complete narcissist who is trying to manipulate you. You don't need that and more importantly, you don't have to tolerate that!

Here's a big hug for you. You're right -- you are a young woman and you owe it to yourself to be healthier and happier.

From what you said earlier, it sounds as though your daughter is on your side. She wants to see you as healthy and happy as you can be.

If you mean that your fiance will be having surgery later on, I'm surprised by what he said to you. Maybe he's worrying about making the changes for himself. It's common for people to worry about missing certain foods after surgery and having to change food choices in a big way. If you and he can work together and support each other, you'll both be much better off and much happier. Your daughter wants both her parents to be healthy and happy and probably would be happy to be your deputy to keep you both in line. Making it a family program may work very well for all of you.

I'm happy for you too. Sometimes we have to teach ourselves when it's ok to be selfish. This is a perfect time. You will be fine ( in all ways, girl ????????) you deserve it. Mini strokes are not something to take lightly. I wish you nothing but the best. I'm with you.

Yes he is having the surgery he has been going through this process for the past 5 years the first time I was scared for him so I didn't want him to go thru it...I guess bcuz I couldn't b there for him bcuz of our daughter..then the next time the surgeon went out of town, the third time was the exercise person told us that he needed to pay 75$ nd we didn't have the money at that time, the fourth time was bcuz of the psychiatrist..now in 2014 we both was gonna do it together we did everything except seen the exercise person bcuz I question everything why I am paying to see you nd I'm also giving u my insurance that means that she was trying to get paid double correct....(I think so)....we was suppose to had seen the psychologist nd I was in the hospital taking xrays nd every time she called my phone went to voicemail bcuz I didn't have any service in the basement of the hospital so when I got discharged from the hospital I called nd I explained to her that I was in the hospital....she told the surgeon that I was playing to many games nd I was a cancer to my fiancee so we didn't need the surgery at all...

i get it. I've had mini strokes and I currently have diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and I just now was able to get off my cholesterol med by stopping the fast food. I have a long list of other weight related issues that are not life threatening but difficult to deal with everyday.

Glad you are putting yourself and your health first and doing what is right for you without letting others influence you!

Thank u so much I've been through so much nd its not getting any better so I really had to dig down inside of me after I prayed nd I had to ask myself if I wanted to live or die nd I'm not ready to die so this is the best thing for me....thank u so much....

      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.
