Thanks guys for the advice! After talking to him and explaining what all of you said he agreed it wouldn't be a good idea... i'm already stressed about the future and eating smaller portions with his mom around...she doesnt understand the words "no thank you, i'm full" she makes a face like i've insulted her

sometimes men are just idiots...dont mind me I just need to vent So a little back story... I'm getting sleeved up on September 14th...I'm American and my Fiance is Turkish...we are living in Istanbul together and for the most part thngs are ok with us. His sister will be getting engaged on September 22nd (turkish engagements are a huge thing and planned ahead...no surprse for the girl usually) His family lives 8hours away by bus (1hour by plane) My fiance just cannot understand why i wont be able to travel to see his family a little over a week after surgery...i explained to him this is a MAJOR surgery, I explained i will be on a special diet, oh...he also doesnt want to tell his family i am having surgery (which is fine with me cause they are so nosy) So help me out...tell me what you guys were going through in your frst 2 weeks after surgery...how soon did you go back to work? Maybe if give him some ammunition then he will understand:) (fun side story for you: he thought i could have the surgery on a thursday and just return to work on monday like it was no big deal...)

Hey everyone, I'm Rose, 26 from the USA but I have been living in Turkey for about 3 years now. Looking back i can't remember a time i was thin. A few years ago I started taking Phentermine and went from 215lbs to 145lbs...It was wonderful! Then I stopped the pills and here I am back at 183... I met with a few doctors here and have decided to get VGS. Scheduled my surgery for September 14th...How do you exlain to someone that you are nervouse, excited, and terrified all at the same time? I haven't told my family yet mostly because i'm afraid that they wont understand. I know that I dont have much weight to lose but I know that i am on a destructive path and i want to correct it now. So thats my story, I just wanted to say hello to everyone and i look forward to reading your stories and sharing my successes
