Lost My Best Friend



Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone. She was going to take my kids to the beach this week so I planned on having it a little easier for my second post op week. But I am actually really glad that they are home with me for some quality time.

One thing that has made it easier is this site/app. I've stayed off Facebook so I don't see her on there (we went to hs together so have lots of mutual friends).

Life will go on!

I completely understand! I lost my best friend of 28 years and my husband (of 5 years) in the same night! I called her to vent because I thought he was cheating and come to find out he was, with her. Needless to say my world came crumbing down that night, but I made it thru it; just as you will make it thru this. It is hard to deal with, it makes time to think about life and refigure everything, but just remember their is a reason some people come in your life and there is a reason people exit your life. There is a plan for you! Don't worry and keep your head up! I made it thru and you will too! :) We are here if you need to vent or chat! :)

Gagirl!!! Big hugs.....

Well I also lost my best friend 5 years ago and I still miss her terribly. As more time passes I pray for the chance to bump into her and try again, but it hasn't happened. I think of her all of the time and miss our friendship. My life has needless to say completely changed, and I wish I had her by my side to share the journey. BUT I believe people are in your life for a time.

I have since made some great new friendships and good bonds but... Que sera sera!

I wish her all the best in life and keep strong on my path.

It's hard I know.... Especially in the things you share. Insides jokes, fav foods, and family. But work in you girl. I'm so sorry for your loss, and all of us like her who have lost a great friend.

Surgery date 7/25/12

No I walked away and let her have him! I have no idea how long it was going on; don't want to know either! I filed my divorce papers and kicked him out!

Lost my best friend last spring as well. I live in a small town so unfortunately I still have to deal with her snootiness and her above all otherness as there is only one school and both our girls are in the same grade and some extra curricular activities. I just try to blow it off even though it still hurts some times & I have made some of the best changes for the good in my life since then. Not only my RNY but I have met some amazing new friends!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
