Confessions anyone?

Thanks guys! Yeah, he surprised me a bit when he said that. I don't even think he knew what he had said until it was out, but by then it was to late. But he is such a sweet heart, not a mean bone in his body, so I know he didn't say it to be mean. He was just being honest, and I'm glad, cause he's changed his opinion now that he's seen everything that one has to go thru.

I definitely have to respect someone who has given unyielding support to you despite their own opinions. That is rare.

I am a widow so it's just me and my 7 yr old son. My mom was and is my biggest supporter and fan through all of this. I was very nervous to tell her that I had decided to have gastric bypass. After all, I am a mother too and know how we worry about our precous children. I finally worked up the nerve to tell her and to my surprise she never said a negative word and supported me from the very beginning. She was amazing. The 3 weeks following my surgery, my mom stayed with me everyday making sure I sipped 2 oz every 15 minutes like clock work, bless her heart. At some point during that time, I heard her tell my late husband's mother, "Before her surgery, I prayed every day that she would change her mind." That completely blew my mind because she never let on that she felt that way. Part (most) of me was very proud of my mother for doing this for me (not letting on) and the other part of me wanted to cry because she was worried and scared for me to go through with it. After the surgery went well and my mom knew I was going to be ok, she couldn't stop telling me how proud she is of me and how happy she is for me and my son that I am getting my health back. I love her and am so thankful she stood by me even when she was scared out of her mind.  

See, that's was super nice of her to do. She kept the support coming even though she was scared. Hubby did the same for me. I knew he was worried cause when we went to my meeting he would ask all sorts of questions, and my husband is usually the quiet type. But he never quit being supportive, even when he apparently thought I was taking the easy way out.
