Emotional Vampires & Toxic People



Recommended Posts

I have had to cut a lot of people out of my life for many different reasons. i had to cut people out for mainly just being negative. i disabled my Facebook page because its full of negativity and stupidity. i also spent way to much time on facebook and it became a distraction. my real friends call or text me when they want to hang out. anyone that brings drama and or negativity i dont talk to anymore. im focusing on making me a better me. Call me selfish but i feel 100 percent better mentally since making those changes.

Wow. I'm so, so, sorry they did that to you. I guess cause I am older, and wiser (and married for 7 years then divorced) I don't pay too much attention to what they say or do, but let's be honest, words do hurt, and when people bring you do down, friends or not you got to find someone to uplift you! I'm so glad you have someone that loves you no matter what! Your journey will only be that much sweeter in the end! And if anyone ever came at me with a fork, joke or not- they wouldn't be standing up by the time I was done with them. Bless you, and I can't wait to see where your journey takes you!!!

Thankyou! I've met some really lovely people on here and am so grateful for the support!

I know one day it will have to be myself I look to for reassurance and really look forward to the day when I'm comfortable in my own skin!

I actually moved a loooong way from family and friends. I don't have a lot of friends up here, so not many to cull...... Although thinking about it now, there IS someone I need to get away from.

I have refused to even "friend" some of my family members on Facebook because I can't be bothered with the crap they post.

      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.
