In reading everyone's responses, I do believe that the lesson is that through this, you really find out who your true friends are. Their true colors are coming out, and they aren't pretty! Let's all work to get more positive people who can be true friends to us.

Good advise, I'm down with that.

I gave up on people and now find joy putting on those pants or shirts I use to not be able to get in to

My own mom doesn't want me to have the surgery! I agree, these people don't want you to change. I lost friends when I got a divorce, I can only imagine what will happen after I get the surgery and start losing weight. True friends will support you.

Like it was mentioned so many times here, this is something you are doing for you. Don't worry about what others say or don't say, do or don't do. In the end, it's your body and your health. We have enough problems with our own insecurities, we have to stay strong. It's the beginning of a new life and if those people aren't going to support you, they never really have. It's all about you. Just keep imagining how great you are going to look and feel! I'm with you though, I don't plan on telling anyone I don't have to.. I won't even tell my mom. It's my decision and I'm happy about it!

Good luck with your banding!

      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.
