It sounds like he misses you his friend. You had a relationship with him and lunch time food and he wants that back. Maybe suggest that he bring his lunch once in awhile and you both could eat together. Then explain what you are going thru now so he understands. Men are dense sometimes and have to be told outright.

Good for you. Isn't it funny how we all equate normal to be something different? Usually it is the pple that we look up to. The so called pretty pple that have the looks, the good jobs, the great family lives and many friends. But just maybe we are the normal ones, ever think about that.
Best of luck on your journey.

I pigged out the whole month before pre-op. Now I am 3 weeks out and down 31 lbs. I don't regret doing it. It was just one of those mental things. I have to have this and that one more time. We both know we are foodaholics and in my case carbaholic. We will have to deal with this the rest of our lives.

Everything will be OK. I told the anethesiolist, Your main job is to make sure I wake up. She said I have to make sure you wake up because there is too much paper work otherwise. We all, about 12 people in the OR with me, had a good laugh and then I was out. I always like to laugh before I am put out. That way it doesn't freak me out so bad. Try it, you won't be so scared.

looking good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 10 days out and it was not that bad. The people in the hospital I went to were just great to me. From the people that signed me in to all the pple in the OR. There are a lot of pple in the OR so be prepared for that. A lot more than I would have thought. You will do just fine. I have already lost 25 lbs since pre-op. Keep your mind on that.

looking good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Atlast83 I am so sorry you had a bad day with your sleeve we all do. Tomorrow will be better when we start to accept our new lives and stop trying to make the old life fit then we embrace the new us. I was riding around with my husband and he started asking about what I wanted to eat. I thought to myself idk, nothing. Then he said I'm getting a burger and fries from McDonald's. I said get me a coffee cause there's nothing I can eat there that won't make me sick. I have to be strong for me no one else will. You have to be strong for you this change is for you. We have each other to lean upon. Keep leaning until you can stand then you can be someone else's pole. Lol!!
Take care Jenipher!

I have a vitamix from years ago. It doesnot really juice which is what I bought it for at the time. I since have bought a NINJA also and it is so much easier to use and much easier to clean. It is also 1/5 the cost.

May God keep you all safe and out of harms way.

Interested in knowing why you are doing this for 6 months pre-op?

Good for you, you hardly had time to think about it or worry about it. Most of us started back in May or June and are not having surgery till Nov. All those test you talked about were stretched out over a few months. And now the anticipation, worry, should I still do it. See we have too much time to think. You are a very lucky girl. Best of luck on your speedy recovery.

Every time I see one of your posts I see your smiling face and remember how excited you were to get this surgery. I am so sorry for all the pain and agony you had to go through. Now hopefully everything will go well and you will lose the weight and all this will be a distant memory.

I too need friends. I have a date for surgery Nov 28. After 5 months it is getting close. I have no support in my life. My husband just ignores the subject and the only thing he said was what about me. What am I going to eat? I think he hopes I just don't do it. I have been a recluse for awhile so not many friends left. My sons are around but then again they are sons. I have serious medical issues and that is why I am having the surgery in hopes of getting my life back.
Hope you get a date soon and best of luck.

We all know you will. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all know you will. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You look fantastic. What a beautiful smile you both have. You are doing fantastic.

You made it through the surgery part and all the hoops before. You have to be proud of that. Keep that in mind as you get into small struggles along the way. You are doing very well. I hope in 2 months after my surgery I am doing as well. God bless and count very little progress as a giant hurtle because it has been.

You have come a long way baby. Look back at how far you have come. And stepping out of your comfort zone to even go on a date it quite an accomplishment. Keep up the good work and pretty soon your will be wearing single digits.

Same for me. Sugar is my down fall. I can't imagine not having it. So how will I ever do this? I have to get something straight real soon. The clock is ticking for me. I quit smoking after 35 years cold turkey (stayed quit for 12 years now), you would think I could give up my favorite foods. I really need everyone's help also.
