I hope you had a great dinner with your mom and I hope she was encouraging about your weight loss.

She is very supportive.  She did not want me to have the surgery at first, mainly out of fear I think. It turns out my support person had to back out and my mom went with me.  She has been there for me every step of the way since and become my biggest cheerleader.  With the exception of her, I have pretty much done this alone.  My boyfriend and I broke up over me deciding to have the surgery and my son and daughter in law have been less than supportive.  Mom's are awesome.

I'm glad to hear that. My mom unwittingly planted the seed for me to start looking into weight loss surgery. I'm sure that wasn't her intent. lol  Anyway, she has been a great supporter too. 

Howdy. 4 days down, 1 more to go and it's an all day craft-a-thon for me. Can't wait!
