I just don't understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or maybe I do. I have felt a lot of negative feelings lately and didn't understand why. I think I know why now, my family isn't as supportive as I thourht. A friend of mine told me that my sisters said they have a bad feeling about this surgery. So now how soes that make me feel like crap

Vickie, don't let others teach or tell you how to feel. Would they be there feeling your health issues later down the road. I think you would be standing alone on that. Just don't let anyone pull you down.

If the surgery is what you want then I say the hell with the family member, You have to satisfy and do what is best for you. Eventually they will get over their ill feelings until then pray for understanding.

I understand! My brother is convinced that if I would just make the decision to eat less that I would lose weight. I have worked hard for five years and weigh today what I did five years ago. I learned through the grapevine that my brother is flying to Las Vegas on the 13th.... the day of my surgery. My mother also feels that the 65 mile trip from her house to the hospital I will be in is too far to drive and not fair to the cats. She would have to leave them alone for three days cause I have to have surgery. I say fine.... when I am skinny and HAVING fun and DOING great things, they can watch and be jealous. You have to put you and your health first. Your the only one who can. This surgery isn't a frivilous thing and definitely is not the lazy way out. To quote "The Waterboy" - "use it as tackling fuel!"

I know what you are going through it took my 2 years to decide to have my surgery and in the process of deciding I had a lot of people/and or family coments the best one was if you just go on weigh****chers and try there knew blend of soup you will lose 60 pounds in know time I no someone who did. And god bless or soul she ment well but I could of choked her each time she said it. And if you are like me the ones who said it weighed a little of nothing. They don't unstand these are not the bodies we want to be traped in this is not who we are. I wish you the best and hope family and friends will support you regardless of there opinions. BEST WISHES!!!!!!!!
