I am so sorry. I know this is hard but please don't take it personally. You are doing what is best for you and if she can't handle it that is her issue. If she truly is a friend she will come around, apologize for her bad behavior and accept the fact that you are doing this for you regardless of what those around you think. If she doesn't, then you held your friendship closer to you than she does and it wasn't unbreakable for such a little thing to break the friendship. I'm sorry for your loss.

Hello journey buddy!! And yes...it's like I can't believe it's here and this is happening in 48 hrs we will both be there and probably post-op by then. I can't even think about it too much or I'll get panicky! Ahaha. Keep in touch with me and let me know how you're doing when you can and I'll do the same! ")

Today is crazy! I went ahead and worked today because I am going to miss my students so much!! I drank the magnesium citrate stuff and am playing the waiting game now. I think today everything set in a little more. I am nervous about everything becoming really real tomorrow. I am praying for you and everyone else that surgery and recovery goes well. I will definitely keep in touch and am so excited about all of this!!

Trust me, you will find much better friends out there..the kind that accept you. I do feel a bad for your friend only in the sense that she is so bitter within herself that she can't accept people for who they are...it's really not a reflection on you so try not to take it to heart..i have a feeling she treats everyone in the same manner...surround yourself with other positive people for now and who knows, you just might be the example that will wake her up

Had my surgery on Dec 10th and got to come home tonite. I couldn't go to the bathroom so the nurse had me smell peppermint and I finally went.

Glad to hear you are home! Wishing you continued and uneventful healing.

      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.
