Sonogram

So, I am scheduled to take a sonogram in the morning. Have any of you guys had to take one, and if so what is the reason for it.

Motivation Needed................................please

I am a few months away from getting a surgery date, but so far I have met with my surgeon, had my blood work done, get my sonogram next week, have my first meeting with the nutrionalist at the end of the month, and did my first support group meeting, so it is moving at a steady pace, and I am happy about that. Now here is the problem, I don't like working out. I joined a gym in April and am ashamed to say I have not went yet, not one time. The sad thing is, the gym is just twenty minutes away so there is really no excuse not to go.   I live in the Bronx and work in Jersey so when I get home from work I be so tired. The love of my life, my mother is in a nursing home so I go spend every Saturday, all day with her. So Sunday is really my only day to rest, and relax. The gym is open 24/7 and I know that I really need to try to go but I just can't, someone please help. I guess I really need motivation to make that first step and to get there, any suggestions?

Why Pre-Op?

Do everyone have to go on a pre-op diet before surgery, and if so for how long? Also why does the liver have to be shrunk before hand?

Killing Herself

One of my best friends had the gastric sleeve surgery last Feb. She has lost about 130 lbs, and now weighs in at 165lbs. Personally I wish she was still a big girl, the reason why is because she was healthier when she was fat. She had surgery for all the wrong reasons and didn't do anything the doctor told her to from day one. Since she had her surgery, I believe she has been to the doctor only 2X.......................seriously are you freakin' kidding me?   She doesn't follow any of the rules, that you suppose follow after WLS and the only thing she eats is a sh*tload of candy and junk food. Oh and salads. She might nibble on a piece of fish here or there ands when she tries to eat real food which is probably once or twice aweek, you guessed it, she throw up immediately. I am so worried about her and keep telling her that she needs to go to the doctor or go talk to a therapist or something...............................................her answer is, I AM SKINNY SO I AM HEALTHY!!!!! No you aren't healthy when you look sick and fragile. The kicker is she still think she is fat and want to lose 25 more lbs.   Now that I have started my journey I can not worry about her. I don't mean to sound uncaring but she is older than me and she knows better, am I being selfish feeling this way? I have been trying to get her to go check on herself since last year and obviously you can led a horse to water but can't get it to drink. She is happy about me getting surgery and was like oh we are going to be throwing up together when you can't eat, and I was like sorry but no we arent because I am going to follow what my surgeon and nutrtionalist tells me from A-Z.   A part of me feels bad that now I feel like whatever will be will be with her. The other part is telling me that I have done all that I can do and have to concentrate on me and what I have to do for my surgery when it comes up. Thanks for listening guys.
