Does my mum have unhealthy weight loss logic or am I just not understanding

Sorry if this is hard to understand, I’m autistic and I’ve had a very eventful and difficult day so I’m up in my feelings right now. I’ll try to clear up things in the comments if there are questions. I have an anxiety disorder so please try to state your intention with what your saying as you might think there’s no way to misinterpret what you’re saying, but as an neurodivergent person, I might not get the hint. Thank you. I am also 16, around 300 lbs, and tall for a girl

I went to a dietitian provided by the NHS for the first time in early November 2025. I lost a lot of control over my weight loss when I went there. Mum got the dietitian to agree with her for me to stop my previous method I used on my own, hide the scales from me, and stop using slimfast products. I’ve come to terms with the fact she’s not gonna let me have the scales back, especially since we fought about it twice recently. I’m trying to figure out what to do without my method but I’m currently 25 lbs heavier after stopping the deficit (I lost 20 lbs in 5 months last year with my own method). I’m starting to figure out a way I feel better even without the calorie counting, but because I don’t have the scales, I don’t know if I’m losing weight or not

I had a conversation with my mum between the few weeks apart of our 2 fights, and she said that she’d wan to get me an NHS weight loss surgery to “kickstart” me. She had gastric bypass surgery 5 or more years ago (before lockdown, she doesn’t remember and I have memory loss from trauma of any time beyond 2021. I don’t need medical advice about this, I’ve got it handled). When we went to the dietitian, she said the slimfast products were very bad, and immediately mum went off of everything and we fought a lot about the slimfast products too

The gist of this is, what do I do about my weight loss because mum would rather me have surgery than eat over-processed food? I’m not asking for advice about the actual surgery, I don’t want it, so please don’t give any medical advice in the comments.
