okay, well at least it is good to know that I"m not the only one with an insensitive sister whom I would NEVER pick as a friend but am stuck with as a sister.

I actually have 2 sisters and I would never have picked either for a friend. One is too perfect in every way and the other is the not so bright one but I am very grateful to have them both in my life. They would be the first people I would call if I needed something and I would always be there for them. They are the only two people besides my husband who know about the band. hmmm...... I wonder if I would be someone they would pick as a friend?

I don't think my sister would "be there" for me if I called. That is a great question Wheezy.....I wonder if my sister would pick me as a friend.....really...she shouldn't, we have absolutely NOTHING in common and it wouldn't bother me if she didn't.....the odd thing though is that I don't think my sister even realizes the extent of how different we are and the extent of how crazy she makes me (I would never hurt her by bringing it up)....she is also a little "ditzy" in some ways so maybe that is why she doesn't notice that our relationship is not normal.

I too have sister issues. My one sister is amazing and truly my very best friend. My other sister... I love her, and I mean it when she is in B.C. (like over 2000 k from me). When we get together, we are 14 and 16 again. Crazy isn't it. She told me she was very supportive of me and understood the need for me to 'fix my life'. Okay she is a size 24 and yeah I used to be a 34, but come on, like she doesn't hae issues too!!! Now that I am a size 18, she won't mention weight or comment about my lose at all. Funny how she mentioned it all the time before hand.

Geez... sisters... takes all kinds!!

I think sherriberry gave mr. neenagh and me the bug! we have both been making increasingly urgent trips to the facilities. Good thing we have more than one bathroom, or it could get ugly!

My sister is very jealous of me losing weight. She says the lapband is not a natural way to lose weight. I told her i am sick of dieting and being sick (weight related).

Both my sisters don't have weight issues, one(the perfect one) is about a size 6 and the other an 8, they are 5'3 and 5'5 respectively. I also have 4 brothers and none of them are fat. Neither of my parents had weight issues. My mom is now battling to lose 20 lbs, she has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. So you see, there is no jealousy here. I'm the one that should be jealous but I'm not...I'm just happy for all of them not to have to suffer with all of the awful side effects of obesity. So I'm the only one........ What's up with that?????

In other words, I'm not having the surgery, so it better not work for you.

      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.
