Why is it that the one day that you look and feel your absolute worse, that is the day that you see that FINE :tt1: specimen of a man that you used to date? I admit that I would never want a lifetime relationship with him, but OMG this man is awesome!:wink2: I was no where near my size now when we dated. I was petite with curves then. Now I am a cow with clothes. Such is the story of my life.:smile:

This is the case for so me too, except I don't care to see anyone that knew me "when". I don't care if I am dressed up or tore up from the floor up! But wait til I get my sexy back! I am gonna be all over the place!

Most of the people that knew me then, don't recognize me now. The people that know me now, have only known me fat. That is going to be odd since I will no longer be the FAT coworker or friend. I wonder how that is going to change things.

My friend told me that some people will not treat you the same after you lose the weight and won't be the fat friend anymore. She also told me that the ones that are not your true friends you might lose. I was like if they weren't my true friends, then i don't need them anyway. why would someone want you fat and unhealthy and not be happy for me when I'm doing better for myself. Don't worry about it...be strong and move on with the new sexier you:cool:

I've been told the same thing. I can only say it will be their loss. Not mine.:thumbdown:

A girlfriend of mine lost 100 pounds. In the process she met a wonderful man and got married. I was ecstatic for her and was a bridesmaid. Another friend of hers (not of mine) TOTALLY ended all communication with her. That was nine years ago. They don't speak to this day. It reinforces the old adage that misery does love company. Once your not miserable anymore, those old miserable friends will drop by the wayside.

      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.
