I just had surgery June 30th. It was the BEST decision I have ever made in my life! You have to do what's best for YOU and to become healthier so you will be around for your daughter and husband! This is not your mother in laws decision. This is YOURS! Not everyone will support you. I had to come to terms with that. But you have to get passed that! Besides....as long as your spouse supports you....that's what matters. Personally, I would advise anyone who's had weight problems to have the surgery! But it's a decision that only you can make. Don't let others make you question yourself when you know the decision you're making for yourself is the best one. Good luck to you!

I have found EVERYTHINGbis too sweet. Taste buds changed b

You look amazing!! My mom has been on my weight my whole life. I'm only 23 days out from surgery so I'm not at that place yet where people tell me that!

That's so awesome!! The only advice I can give you is make sure you're getting in your Protein if you're not drinking shakes. Your hair will begin thinning out. The best I have found that taste like chocolate milk is Monster Muscle Milk. Not only does it have protein but also gives me energy!! Good luck and keep reaching for your goals!!

Yeah first 3 days are clear liquids. Then 4th-14th day is full liquids. Then 15th day start soft foods. I imagine you do feel bloated. Your tummy is not ready for what you're putting in it. I can only do 3oz of anything at a time and I'm 17 days out. I just started soft foods this week. Take care and don't over do it.

At 4 days out you're more than likely still expelling the gas from the surgery. I noticed I burp less (I'm 12 days out) but I now get the hiccups really easily and that's not fun at all. And I'm not sure why I do.

Y'all its 7 days until surgery and tomorrow is my prop. I've been sick since Saturday with like a virus including fever. Major stomach pain. So much so I went to the dr yesterday. I'm just praying this doesn't have any affect on surgery. I'm so worried. Anyone experience this right before surgery?
