I can so relate to this thread! While I was in the hospital my family was visiting and kept talking about where to go have lunch... Really??????I just had surgery the day before and my sister said " u are going to have to get over it". You choose this!". It's amazing how our friends and family really dont want us to look better than them. Is it a competition? I didn't think it was! Don't we all want to be healthy and fit? My husband has been so great and other than God he and my children are the only ones that matter! Can't worry about the haters! Keep moving forward sleevers!

I feel blessed to have nothing but support from people. I didn't care one way or the other because I did this for me but it feels good to know I have a support system. I gotta say though, one friend came to visit me the day of surgery and she came in eating nachos and Chinese food. I felt that was a bit insensitive but it's life. People are always going to be eating around me. I can't stop the world just because I have weight to lose.

Capt Derel, You really don't look like I had you pictured in my head. :) I think it's great that you've put up a picture and that you have some befores, because you're going to be an AFTER very quickly. :)

I think I would have to tell her that she gets that job now! She is beyond rude and certainly not much of a friend.

I really want to cry right now, but since I'm in public I have to vent to my support system. I told my sister she needed to eat before we left the house and went to a winery. Of course she doesn't listen to me. I can't have a bite because it hasn't been 30 minutes since my last drink and I planned on drinking sips at a wine tasting, perfect, tiny sips. Since I'm the younger sister and I am the one who lives here I can't possibly know we are driving an hour away to a town with one restaurant. So here we are. Her and her bff are enjoying a meal and wine and I have to watch. Damn a fly is now in my wine glass.

Kill em with kindness. They are trying to get under ur skin. Have nibbles and add to the conversation without a care in the world. Don't be on their level your better than that. If they cared they would not have done the complete opposite of ur request.

Heck act just as care free as them!

You know the ols saying' date=' you can pick your friends...not your family????? Well, I finally told my (very thin) sister i was having the sleeve done. And she says point blank-"you will still be fat. your always chunky". Very motivating, huh? This is why I normally steer clear of her!!![/quote']

Punch her in the face!!! Or at least think about doing ot and smile!

      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.
