    Hello. First post here. I'm one month away from my scheduled surgery and getting nervous. I just told my teenagers that I'm scheduled for surgery and they don't want me to have it. They want me to lose the weight the "right" way w diet and exercise. I am 75 lbs overweight and now this has cast doubt on my plans. I'm still planning, but want to see if anyone else has feedback on this....I'm single mom w diabetes, and high cholesterol and want to be healthier. They are worried I won't be able to change my habits after surgery and will gain weight back anyways.Ugh.

    Do they want you around when they get married and have children? Explain to them that diabetes you could lose a limb or eye sight.. With cholesterol a heart attack. Knee replacement due to excessive weight. You will move better.

    If they live with you, have them make sure only healthy foods are in the house.

    I am 61 years old and have had complete knee replacements on both knees. I have arthritis in my right foot. My right hip is starting to bother me. This is why I am going to have this surgery. Also I have the same as you. Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high Triglycerides.

    Let them know you want to be around longer and healthier.

    This a decision is yours.

    I have a Paula Dean air fryer and had it months before my sleeve. It's wonderful and it makes everything taste wonderful and very crispy with just a very few sprays of a good olive or coconut oil. The problem is is that you are frying foods that are BREADED so that fact alone may be enough to keep you from investing in one knowing that you'd be eating breaded foods, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this right away but maybe down the road as a treat to occasionally air fry some appetizers or corndogs or chicken nuggets etc. in the healthiest way that's possible to prepare a fried food. It's a fun toy but not a cheap toy and probably shouldn't be a priority for anybody working on losing weight . ????

    Do you have to have breading on a boneless skinless chicken breast?
