I think even our good, thin friends may feel like the "dynamic" of your friendship will be different once you did the surgery. I am the largest of all of my friends and I know that some of them like that. Once I have chosen to change that, it changes their point of view (consiously or unconsiously). Don't worry about it, you did this for you, not her.

I am so excited for all of us. I am scheduled for surgery on November 24th! I have been on the liquid diet for 5 days, 9 more days to go (if I don't jump off a ledge by then!!) You're all right about all surgeons giving different diets, it is frustrating. I would LOVE a Lean Cuisine or some real food right now.:thumbdown:

This is my first post to this site, but I love reading everything y'all talk about. I am scheduled to be banded on November 24th, just in time to avoid the Thanksgiving pounds I would normally put on!!:grouphug: I don't know why, but I am trying to diet now to get on the right track but I can't stick to it for anything. I have this illusion that once I get banded everything will just fall into place, I know better but I just keep picturing that in mind. Any suggestions on how to get on the right track? Thanks!!

I am a Noblesville res too, add me to your list. Thanks!!
