I think it's a control issue. I have a monster-in-law just like this. We had a similar falling out before and didn't speak for the same length of time. We are now on speaking terms for the sake of my husband and son. There were never any apologies and we have never spoken about it. What it comes down to is that she has too much time on her hands. When my MIL starts butting into our lives this way, I just try to ignore her and tell myself that she has no life and she is just one of those people that is set on her ways. There is no changing her. Unfortunately, I have to co-exist with her. My husband and son love her dearly. She has a very passive-aggressive way of saying things to me, so unfortunately they don't always see her bad side.

But on another note, if she would have said anything about who I am as a parent, all hell would have broken loose. That was very unnecessary. It's good to hear your husband is sticking by you.

Your body=Your decision

Tell them, with love, how your they can either accept that you make decisions on your behalf or they will need to learn to deal with it! You are an adult.

It's their loss, if they CHOOSE to have nothing to do with you.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
