  1. I know the feeling very well. My family is against me having surgery. I just mentioned it once and received a lot of back lash . I am keeping it to myself between 2 best friends my husband and wls group. All the support you and I need .
  2. Congrats [emoji322]
  3. Thanks for posting I needed to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
  4. I really like your posts it resonates with me thank you for sharing
  5. What’s important is that you continue to make steps. I totally know how you feel. Don’t be nervous. Deep breaths. It’s going to be okay. Just stay focus and don’t get derailed. We are all in this together.
  6. You sound motivated stay encouraged . You just do fine . You got this !
  7. Good point , she claim she see a lot of bariatric clients for evaluations. But gosh she is very opinionated and she telling me what she think I should do and discourages WLS. I was under the impression I was going for evaluation and not judgement. WW is too much charting and counting points for me and I know few ppl that gain double afterwards. Thank you so much for your support
  8. Thank you !! She is terribly Old lady [emoji70] that know all lol ! She owns a small practice. You made a good point. I should do just that ! Really good post !! I hope this Wednesday is our last meeting because u plan to take some of your suggestions and really let her know a thing or two about her unprofessionalism . I was so conflicted with her that I went straight to grocery store to stock up on veggies which is not a bad thing at all but I felt bullied and judged big time by her. Funny thing is she told me that she’s a diabetic herself, but had no need to take her meds in 2 months because “she eat right” . She is not in the best shape her self she could benefit from a sleeve if you ask me lol ! But thanks again for the support & encouragement [emoji173]️.
  9. Oh lucky you! That is great. I wish I had that option
  10. Glad to know I’m not alone. When I left my appointment I felt Like I did something totally wrong. It was really strange. But nevertheless, I’m focused on the end goal If I could bump up my surgery I would . Are you going to Tijuana Mexico? I met some ladies that went there and the had a wonderful experience. The after care I heard was amazing.
  11. You just have to learn to let it roll. And focus on the end goal
  12. That’s exactly what I don’t want including the scrutiny. I’m not saying a word. [emoji850]
  13. You are absolutely right I will write a nice long letter.
  14. She said she trying to save me from getting chopped up .i was really disappointed with our meeting ! She did ask questions relating to my family health history and told me I was predisposed to health problems and to die early. She was really cold.
  15. No she recommend that I do weight watchers and see her again next week.
  16. I know the feelings very well. I’m a secret soon to be sleeved . This September
  17. Same here As you, my husband and 2 friends know that I will be having the procedure done. My family is way to critical.
  18. If not , let me be the first ??‍♀️. Today I went to my initial psych evaluation and the doctor told me that because my family had previously diabetes high blood pressure and etc. that I was predisposed to have as well and she said that my family did not know how to eat therefore I don’t know how to eat and my children won’t know how to eat .she then went on to tell me that I have poor eating habits .she then told me I should join weight watchers and she made a sarcastic joke saying hey look I’m trying to help you out you’re about to get yourself all cut up [emoji849][emoji15] So yeah I figure that I share with you how my psych evaluation went today was quite interesting let alone very him how can I explain it I felt like she was putting her finger in my face. Talk about rubbing salt into a wound
