Anyone lose friends after Lap Band?



Recommended Posts

i totally lost my best friend of 11 years! i was a-band-oned! 10 months ago i started this journey with the seminar and was just banded on aug.19th. i told her right away what i decided to do. we were diet and walking buddies. everything together, talked each day and live next door to eachother. all phone calls stopped. nothing. i have sent her flowers, cards and told her personally i want my best friend back. i get excuses. she knew of my surgery and has never even called to see how i am.last summer she had a minor surgery and i cooked for her family for a whole week. i also cleaned her house and of course have been there for her through many trials in her life. i'm very depressed about this. she knows i have health issues and i'm hoping loss of weight will cure them. i never would have imagined this would happen. lisa6:confused:

This is a sad story Lisa, one that I can totally relate to.

You deserve a better friend.

This is a sad thread.

I really never conceived of this happening in real friendships. Heck, I wasn't even surprised by the surgery results ending in broken marriages (I can see that happening more easily, I guess).

      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.
