I lost my best friend as a result of losing weight. She never asked me how I was feeling after getting banded, she just completed ignored it. About 5-6 days after surgery, she came over and I dropped something. I asked if she could please pick it up (it hurt to bend down at the time) and she said "No, do it yourself, you CHOSE to get surgery". Well, okay. Then when I started losing weight, she told me I was looking unhealthy. Well, okay. Then one day she told me I was going to die as a result of the 'damage' I had done to my body and she printed out a whole list of lap-band 'horror stories' for me to read. Wow, thanks.

After 14 years of being best friends, I had to politely tell her to get lost.

You did the right thing! I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Maybe she really wasn't a TRUE friend to begin with and just not worth it! Hugs your way...

Sometimes we even have to 'fire' friends and family. I had to do this with a friend of 25 years (completely different reasons) and for a long while I was so depressed at the thought that I had been misled for so many years by someone who wasn't really a true friend.

I finally realized that they were, but people do change and sometimes that green eyed monster of jealousy can grab on to someone so tightly that they become a completely different person than the one you were friends with.

I am sorry at the loss of your friendship, but glad you are confident and strong enough to recognize an unhealthy relationship and move on. :thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
