My in-law confession, I'm not buying them a damn thing! I never get a present. I never get a card. I never get my name on the card.

very familiar.

my inlaws are just misguided fools. they like to think that DH should spend all his money on them. HAHAHA, i giggle just writing that crap - what they still fail to acknowledge was that it's our money. and for 7/10 yrs together i tripled his salary.

i get asked when i'm going back to work, and i'm like - i'm retired. they sure do like "our" money - me not so much...

That's what is funny about ours. I am the money maker, yet she calls him thinking he can pay her bills. Hell, he can't pay HIS bills. She calls him asking for money all of the time (on his cell phone since she won't call my house). MILs can really suck sometimes. I know that there are good ones out there (my mom is one), but man did I pick a WINNER!

my husband is very embarrassed by his parents, considering my family LOVES DH and treats him just like he's been with us forever.

i'm the only girl in my family - and my brothers and DH are best friends; my mother calls hubby more than me.

i long gave up hoping they would like me - all i ask it they just be decent. i treat their son like gold and for that i deserve a medal....or at least a parade!!:smile:

oh and use the retired line LJM - the look is &*()_^&*( priceless from their end!!!!

My MIL likes to call my DH over to her house and he comes home with a present, but me and my son don't exist. She ships tons of stuff to my step-daughter, but we can't even get a merry christmas phone call. I always bought her something anyway. This year? Screw her. DH NEVER buys her anything, but I always do so she will be shocked when she doesn't get anything. Oh well. If I don't exist, her damn present won't either. ha!

LOL - I love that last sentence. Even if she doesn't like you, she's a witch for ignoring her own grandson!

I feel the same way with the exception of ONE of my brother-in-laws who's a total ass.

My family on the other hand make rotten in-laws. My mother was crazy even before she got Alzheimer's, my 2nd sis is a ditzy space cadet that leaves you shaking your head and my brother's a compulsive gambler so he's always trying to borrow money. My oldest sis is the only one that's any fun to be around.

I gotta confess...I do not understand all your family dramas. DH's parents are dead; DH loves my mother - he's more inclined to ask her to stay for weeks at a time than I am. DH and his ex-wife and his ex-MIL are all the assorted other ex-relations are all friends. In fact, over the holidays, DH's ex-MIL is having her 90th birthday, and everyone including DH and I are invited!

I only weigh once a week - at the Y. Still refuse to own a set of scales....

yeah... DH's b-day was yesterday... his parents did ask about me ... oh i'm so lucky... what did they ask? how much weight i had gained on the pregnancy... this coming from the same people who - on our first lunch together - asked me how much i weighed... nice folks. :smile:

OK who in the world asks someone else what they weigh? I would never ever ever!!! (well maybe my skinny ass brother!)

With all of these stories plus my brother's ex-inlaws, et al, maybe being single isn't all that bad! My family gets along really well and I don't have to deal with inlaw drama! But yes, Slim, I do believe that your MIL will get bitten by the karma bug!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
