Your families opinion about your surgery really isn't important -- same with friends or bystanders. If you feel you're making the right decision, you have the appropriate medical team in place then you do what's right for you. I wouldn't let someone else's opinion direct my other medical care, why would I have engaged them in this one?
I'm sorry that your surgery was delayed, use the extra time to focus on the mind part of the prep as well as following all your medical teams guidelines; December will be here soon!

I was scheduled for my surgery this month but now it has been moved to December. I am very upset and surprised because my family does not support my decision and I prefer not sharing it with others. My family thinks the surgery is too dangerous and they don't like what they have read in the materials I shared with them. They are trying to talk me out of it. I am so frustrated and disappointed. Has anyone else had unsupportive family? How did you move past it if you did?
Keeping your mood up is HARD especially when you're ( gently) forcing yourself to make significant lifestyle changes .
For me , truthfully it requires a twice daily mild antidepressant... which I absolutely HATE having to take but it's better than the alternative which is lying in bed all day .
We didn't overeat for no reason especially after puberty and all that peer pressure to be a certain graceful weight .
We were self medicating... all those excess calories are comforting .
Finding a good caring weekly therapist who can prescribe is to me hugely important

weigh over 700lbs I just wanted to know if there Was anybody at my weight that has had Success with weight loss surgery?
Because of diabetes, before weight loss surgery, I ate low carb, high protein meals. I counted calories, fats, sugars, and carbs. I exercised every day, usually walking the track for an hour. I weighed myself every day. I attended weigh****chers and tracked my food carefully.
After weight loss surgery, i did the same things as before. But after weight loss surgery, those same things finally worked for me. I lost the weight and kept it off.
