No support
I can't explain what it's like to go through this with no support. My 12 soon-to-b 13 year old is worried i'll get skinnier than her..(odd), she (i've mentioned before) is upset i'm doing it a day after her bday (worked around work schedule). The b/f is against surgeries period doesn't think i've tried everything..now i'm second guessing..i know this is what i want. I know my b/f was attracted to me the way i am. Do i risk losing him when i get skinny? Well then he never truly loved me. This will be the real test. I don't have anyone else...it's hard when you dont have support. What do you do?

weight loss pre op on liquid diet
I don't think they'll start you or register you for anything until they have the approval...I know I didn't get my information about the pre-op class until *after* approval...I'm just nervous about keeping the liquid diet..it sounds so hard to do..
