I can definitely relate to your rant about your mom. I am very fortunate that my mom is coming in to be with me during my surgery. She lives in Texas and I live in Indiana. I am an only child and she is worried about me having surgery. The only surgery I have every had was my tonsils when I was 7. However, she also keeps asking me why couldn't I just keep eating right and keep losing weight the "normal" way. Really? She is 5' tall and never has weighed over 130 pounds. I have always been taller and larger than her. She has never dealt with weight issues and cannot relate to my situation. I lover her to the moon and back but I am not looking forward to some of the negativity that is coming with her next weekend because my surgery date is August 27th.

OKay I have a rant as I'm preparing for my upcoming surgery. I told my mom about the surgery well because I didn't think it was fair to going into surgery and not tell your parents. Maybe I was wrong. Ever since I told her about it she has been driving me crazy. I live in Florida, she in Illinois. She calls and the conversation always goes to the surgery. I have been on my weight management for a couple months and actually meet the last time Friday. She always says "are you still eating your six small meals? Are you losing weight? Why don't you just keep doing that? OMG I WANT TO SCREAM!!!!! So I was adopted and my mom, her sister, my cousins are all small. All have weighed 130 or less pounds their whole life. Small hands wear size 4 1/2 and 5 rings, etc. when I was in high school I weighed top weight 150. Now I'm 5'6" and I was in gymnastics and cheer. According to my mom 150 was too much and by the time I graduated senior year and having my mom make my food for me and that's all I could eat I weighed 123. I wish I was 150 and maybe just maybe I will return to that weight. I'm going to have this surgery....but why does she drive me so crazy about it? I can't lose weight on a diet. I have been on everyone out there and have spent millions on diets. Get over it Mom. Okay rant over.......
