We're for sure all in this together and there's no one right way. Trust your guy- he's smart because he knows who you really are not how you think you are. And trust yourself- your kids will be lucky to have you as their mom.

O My Gosh you're so beautiful Anne !!
I never knew what you looked like all these years but you have such a lovely sympathetic and wise smile and beautiful eyes :)
I always love reading your wisdom derived from your personal experience. Its funny- we kind of started in the same place ( the lightweights forum ) ...and I so totally ended up different ... but that's how God makes us.
I'm doing a lot of performing now ( with a rock band - well, a few - live musics real big here in Long Island) and also beginning to work on Wall Street after qualifying for my financial industry exams ( endless list of them ).
Im fat around the middle thanks to the Covid thirty and getting pregnant twice ... yet im still on stage and even working occasionally as a bit part SAG actor ( its good money and great fun though sometimes boring )
I have a 27 year old model boyfriend who seems to be very attached to me ...though I scaresly trust it .
Im keeping my options open - I don't think marriage is in the cards but kids definitely are . Its going to be a huge responsibility and lifestyle change I know and im still trying to wrap my head around it because I'm just a huge self indulgent kid still. ((())))

Congratulations on 17 years and keeping 90 pounds off!
Hollykim, You need to look at Fae's post.
She 's already on a rigidly controlled diet for MSUD.If you don't know what that is ,you do need to do a search before telling someone-anyone- they are eating wrong. This conditions necessitates, for quality of life, the replacement of many proteins with other foods and special amino acid blend.She Can't change WHAT she eats.It's dictated by her many medical conditions.
People who are MO do not need our reactions to be "routine" answers we have all received in times past by our medical providers.
Your advice on seeking assistance and surgery outcomes are like rest, spot on.
WLS was developed to assist people with metabolic issues and is the only long term assistance that is available. Thankfully, the surgeries have changed with innovations in surgery techniques.There are now a wide range of surgical options.
I believe you need to look a T my post. I didn't say she was eating wrong. I simply asked what a days menu was like for her. No matter how rigidly her fort is controlled, it may be foods that promote weight gain. If that?s is so, it is a consideration even if she can?t change it.
there is always the possibility of eating off that rigid plan, which as we all know, happens.
Just saw your note of approval .. we will continue to pray for your Dr and surgery w/ recovery.
It's his speciality! He knows why such procedures have been accepted and refused in the past.... It sounds like he knows the ropes of how to specify why each area needs to be taken care of- for your continued improved.health.. What a wonderful health Care provider to have on your team. Yep Pray for sure... and we will as well.!(Hubs is Swedish)
