I have to vent. I started my pre-op liquid diet this morning.... SO naturally I ate whatever and how much ever I wanted to this weekend. My grandmother was with me Saturday. I have something like 3 candy bars (the bite side Halloweenesque ones) and then dinner.

So she goes to my mother on Sunday and says... Kelly ate so much on Saturday and I don't think she is serious about this. She should have been eating less (which I have done the 5 weeks prior to this since finding out about my surgery) and that would make the transition into the pre-op diet so much easier. I don't think she is serious and can do this.

WHAT THE HELL. I love my grandmother... but right now I could drop kick her.

This is the first time I have received any resistance from anybody and frankly it pi$&)$ me off. :heh::scared:

Vent over.

I am sorry she hurt your feelings with this. I am sure she is worried that you will put yourself through getting a surgery and not get the results you want. She loves you and wants you to succeed!

People will say dumb things along the way but your determination and results will show them all. Congratts on your surgery date!

Relatives:straight...you have to love them..... all I can say is get used to people monitoring every morsel you put in your mouth..seriously, after my surgery, my MIL made a copy of the list of things I could eat and whenever she came over(almost daily) whenever she saw me eat, she did not hesitate to whip out the list to make sure it was approved, and this was during the liquid and mushie stage....I just laughed at her.

There will be naysayers, just show them better than you can tell them when the weight starts falling off.:scared:

Family members sometimes mean well but may say the wrong thing at times.

I know that I told my mother and father an they are supportive.

It is important to have a support group and I am hopeful that once you start on your new journey it will be easy to see how faithful you are to your own success.
