Don't tell her, plain and simple!!! This is YOUR journey. You don't need her approval/disapproval.

If your instincts are telling you not to say anything to her because she has strong opinions, there is a reason. Don't say anything. Once you are out, feeling better and more comfortable in your new routine, think about it, but your mind already knows how she's going to react. If you don't think she's going to be supportive, then don't say anything. I didn't tell my mother or my sister. I'm 6 months out. They still don't know. Most people in my life don't. My husband and two teen daughters do, but other than that maybe 2 or 3 friends. That's it.

You should not think about that just the night before your surgery! I told my friends weeks (even months) after I did it, and even if some were worried about my decision, they all have been supportive, I am sure your friend will be too.

That's great I'm trying to like that lol I wanna lose 150 altogether and maintain it

Here's the thing....You are an adult. You have no responsibility to tell him. You can tell only the people you want to. Also, it is really NO ONE'S business!! I understand family is important but if you do this surgery you do this for YOU not anyone else and you need NO ONE else's approval. Even if they notice the rapid weight loss you don't need to tell them you had surgery. That is a personal decision you made. If someone asks how you are losing weight so fast (which they really shouldn't but everyone feels they have a right to comment on other's looks) you don't have to tell them. You can just say you have been working out and watching what you eat. You owe them nothing. You owe it to yourself to only give out that information to those you want to if you feel someone will break you down mentally if they knew. This si the time to focus on yourself and buckle down! YOU CAN DO THIS!!

I told all family members except my mother. She would have disagreed with my decision and I didn't want to argue with her or have to justify it to her.
No regrets...

Thanks for the prayer and my journey has been such a struggle I had to postpone my surgery twice do to not being cleared by my cardiologist and pulmonary doctor so that stressed me made me wanna quit and eat lol but I've been doing good I cut carbs totally because I love it and I can't have just a little so I cut it out completely but for the most part it's been ok some ups and downs but it's to be expected I'm excited yet so nervous
