just asked to spend the night with Mom while she's in the hospital for her stomach stapling--as she was making herself two pb&j sammies.

She's not in there yet. She meets with the doc for the final okay next week, then comes the surgery.

But...yah...when you're already figuring out ways to puree Snickers bars so they won't make you sick after the event, kinda a lost cause

Oh dear... your mother does realize that the surgery's not magic, and requires behavioral changes to prevent regaining any lost weight?

Ah, you mean your mother is in fierce denial of the behavior-change bit and fully believes the surgery is magic. (annoyed)

Heh. I'm impressed with your good humor and detachment. And perturbed that Mom's doctor has not poked big holes in her denial.

I confess I've got a whole soapbox rant about bariatric surgery, its hazards and its marketing, that I will mercifully spare you ;-)

Oh, we've been doing this dance for *years*--every time she gets right up against time for the surgery, she backs out.

Sigh. Having witnessed similar familial behavior, you have my utmost sympathies.
