What do I say to my daughter when she says....to me?

I've written about this a little, before. I am scheduled for surgery on July 18th. Dr. insists patients loose wt prior to surgery. I have lost 25 lbs in 5 wks.(at a stand still now). I have lost very large amts of wt before and kept it off for very long periods of time (17 yrs). My daughter saw all of this and knows that I have lost 25 lbs now. She first said "Mom you don't need this surgery. You did it before, you can do it again!" We went back and forth on this issue. I made up my mind that I am going to have the surgery. Now, my daughter calls me the other night and says: "Mom, if you have this surgery just cause you want to loose your wt this way, I will NEVER forgive you!" I was shocked! I did not know what to say, so I said nothing. PLEASE if anyone can help me w/ this, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know!! (I feel very guilty now that she's said that to me).
