My Surgery date is 2/3/22. I am getting sleeved in Mexico. Pre-op diet starts in about 3 weeks.

Who else is having WLS next month?

My surgery is tomorrow morning and my mother and sister literally waited until today to tell me they think I am making the wrong choice and they wish I wouldn’t go through with it. ??

I am so sorry that they are doing this but to wait till now to express their feelings almost seems calculated and manipulative. I hope that you choose you and do choose to continue this journey to good health. You deserve this and you have plenty of people here to root you on and support you throughout the process. Good luck tomorrow.

This is unfair and I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. But I agree with a previous reply. You deserve this. You’re making a choice for YOU. Block Negative vibes out. Focus on your big day tomorrow. You got this.

Your mother and sister should take their envy and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Good luck. You deserve this.

Mine is tomorrow at 3pm as well. I’m sure they mean well but some of our supporters just have no idea what we’re going through. Respectfully acknowledge their feedback but tell them confidently you know what’s best for you and their support would mean a lot to you but if they don’t support it could they keep their comments to themselves. I wish you the best God has in store for you and a very uneventful surgery & recovery!

Annabelle, I had my daughter do the same to me as I was walking out the door to the hospital so I kinda understand how you feel! My minister friend to me to rest in the peace that God gave me and don’t look back. Continue to do what is best for me! So I say the same to rest! Stay focused on the reason you made this decision in the first place. Allow God’s Peace to comfort you! I pray you have a very successful surgery and recovery as well! ??❤️ My surgery was Friday and I’m home and doing well at this time! ?

My husband did this to me and made me feel like crap because of it. I still felt it was best for me and went through with it and I basically said this is what I want and I hope you can become supportive of my decisions. He has come around and is now very helpful and supportive. Express how much it means to you and that you hope they will become supportive good luck with your surgery!

The chicken is blended though, right?

Yes put some chicken broth and chicken in a blender and it’s not to bad

I'm so sorry people are behaving like this to you guys. It's so far beyond the pale my English is failing me (and my native language gibberish won't mean much).

Obesity is a disease. A chronic one. There's almost zero chance of getting to BMI 25 and keeping it once you're above BMI30-35, let alone 45 or 50+.

The absolute best way we have to manage obesity is surgery. It's life-saving surgery with a very low risk profile compared to other types of surgery.

Stand your ground mentally and consider yourselves worth it. I weep for the ones not here who were talked out of doing this for themselves. Be good examples! Hugs.

Feb 17 procedure.
still on liquid.
31kg to get to target.

For my surgeon's program I'm on full liquids week 1 and 2, pureed 3 and 4, and soft solids 5 and 6. So no regular diet until week 7.

Hi, I had my surgery February 17 and am in my two week liquid diet and starting to not like anything so it’s hard to get enough protein. Any tips? Thanks

Have you tried the clear protein drinks? Or unflavored protein you can mix in various things.
