My surgery is May 25 , 2016. My daughter doesn't want me to have this surgery done. And I've almost changed my mind. Thing I can do this on my own , which I have failed . One of my son's said , 'you've always wanted this, it's a fresh start , do it for you, don't listen to anyone else'. So I'm getting my gastric bypass, and I'm looking forward to my new life.

Time to be selfish and attend to your needs. It's like putting the oxygen mask on yourself first. You can be the best mom when your the healthiest mom. Taking a small reprieve to get stronger and healthier in the long run is "big picture smart"-in my opinion. :-)

Best of luck!

Best wishes to you on this journey❤️. What is your daughter afraid of? If I may ask

My mom doesn't want me to have it either. She feels as if I would fall into depression if I lose too fast and have too much hanging skin. I'm doing this for me and you should hold your head up high and be proud of the decision you made????

She's feels I can lose it on my own. I'm the mother of 6 grown children. But she will be there for my surgery. She worries about me. But I'm looking forward to my new life. When is your date for surgery?

Is your daughter overweight? To me it seems like this is selfishness or jealousy of her feeling this way. I understand worrying about someone but staying the way you are is not any safer either. This is your chance, if you don't take it, you will not know!

I am 5 days post op, I was terrified but on my road to recovery and new me!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
