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.

I believe that you have talked to her and she refuses to listen so if i was you i would leave it alone. You can't keep beating her over the head. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.....UNDERSTAND!! Just keep her in prayer and move on with you. I hope this makes since.

Everyone has their own individual journey to follow. You have chosen the path that is right for you, so you walk your path. Hold your head up high. You've done all you can do. Maybe, just maybe, she'll see you get to goal in a healthy manner and it will inspire her to clean up her act. If not, you can't do anything more to help her. She's grown and she will do what she wants to do.

Good luck to YOU on YOUR journey!! :)

Maybe when she sees how good you do by following the rules, she will see how much better it can be. She will end up learning by watching you! If that doesn't change her bad habbits, you have done all you can do.

I am 4 weeks out and will do anything not to throw up. I am following all the rules you can bet!
