I just recently went to the informational meeting, thinking about having the surgery. The dr said no soups, stuff like that? How will this help when we are old and can't fit a lot of stuff down other than soups/sauces? Will it cause us to become dehydrated and starved since it would pass through quicker? I want to be 100% sure this would be a good thing for me as I am 22 and have a lot of life left to live.

I've come to a crossroads in my life where I know change is necessary for the life I want to lead, and I want to have the gastric bypass surgery. I'm prepared for the changes, excercising routines, everything. I've went to the informational meeting, had a physical with my dr and all. I'm 307lbs at 5'4" and only 22. I have discussed the surgery to my family and a few close friends and they have been very supportive. The only one that hasn't been understanding has been my boyfriend of 4 years. He says I should just diet and exercise but when I explain it's not as simple as you think (he's very thin, has never had a weight problem) he blows it off and says I don't try hard enough. I asked him to sit and research with me to get more informed but he won't. Should I proceed with the surgery or just go his route?
