Most people with weight loss surgery have some problems afterward. Constipation, flatulence, diarrhea, bowel obstruction, dumping, vomiting, and other issues can and do happen. The surgeon does not deal with this and gave you the right direction to talk to a GI.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
You have to do what is comfortable for you. At the end of the day - your drive should be the best for you and how YOU feel, not about if your picture inspires anyone or not. This journey is only about you.

Being self-employed is a true blessing for anyone who wants more freedom in their livelihood, but it's not without its financial challenges. I know it from my own experience. Still, applying for a personal loan if you're self-pay is possible. You'll just need to have different documents ready to send if the lender asks for them. And of course, there are quick loans that might be helpful in your case (I addressed https://justbloans.com/minnesota/ when I was in the same boat), though it is better to pay such a loan as quickly as possible in order not to overpay.
I think it all depends on how you approach the meal prep -- you could do several variations and freeze them so that you're not eating the same thing every day; I freeze a lot of single portions and then I have options. For me the key is to make sure to actually eat what's in the freezer.

The Importance of Meal Prep For Weight Loss
Good thinking. I have never liked frozen dinners but haven't tried those kinds.
My idea of meal prep is adding a stack of Smart One's and Lean Cuisine frozen dinners to my grocery order. I can happen something different for every meal and know I am in my calorie limit of around 300 calories per meal.
