As my mindset is changing, I'm cutting a lot of negative people out of my life. Has anyone gotten rid of any friends ?

Yep...

And not just friends...

I've ended relationships of all types in the 17 months since my op...

And I've not regretted doing so for even a second...

I'm all about me...

I'm doing what I've gotta do...

I've surrounded myself (to some degree) with people who are supportive...

My people...

This isn't for everyone of course...

But it's what I needed to do...

If you want/need more info, flick me a PM...

I also find myself doing this and I feel good about it.. Coming from the person who always wants friends. But now I can care less.

Yes got rid of a friend who was also going to have gastric bypass. She was very negative all the time and I think bc I got my date first she became jealous. And tried to start stuff like I'm jealous bc I don't have a man, or tell her other friends what I said but deleted her comments back to me. But my days without her are sooooo much better by far!!

I haven't really ditched anyone post-op, but people have distanced themselves from me, and that is cool. Like my lifestyle is really different now than it was a year ago. Everyone isn't active and into the things I am. I don't mind, people grow apart.

That's very true. I've informed my friends on what will be going on & they are taking a healthy journey with me.

I'm sorry that you've lost all of your friends, I've heard divorce is a long stressful process!

I held off telling anyone after I decided to start my journey, now that I only have my cardio clearance left to submit I'm more opened to talk about it with friends and family

      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.
