Friends that Support and Love You



Recommended Posts

Let me start by saying that a friend of mine has this vest she wears that I LOVE! I keep telling her she needs to give it to me. Doesnt matter tht she is a size 6/8 an I am a size 18/20 on top, I still want it lol. Of course she always tells me no you cant have it!

Well today we had a shopping date, and it was the first time seeing her since my surgery on the 27th. She hands me a bag and tells me to look... inside is a brand new vest size 10. She said she knows that eventually I will fit into it but left the receipt and tags just in case I want to get a smaller size.

I love her! She was not a huge supporter of the surgery in the begining because she was afraid for me. Now, I don't think there is a bigger show of support that she could have shown me.

:) Just thought I would share.

My really good friend is just as supportive as yours is! I haven't been sleeved yet but she is already has my back 110%. I wish to death she wasn't so far away (she is in NY/NJ and I am in FL) but I am still so thankful for her biggrin.gif Between her and my mom I don't care what the rest of the world thinks. I am so glad that you have that support as well! Please post pics of that vest once you get into it!!

Wow. What a great friend! Mine are supportive too and that is a blessing for us given the sad experiences of some people on this board.

awwww that's so sweet! I know when Asia put a handmade necklace around my neck and said "sisters" it almost made me cry it was so sweet. Friendships like that are the ones that you cherish for a lifetime

My Mom used to tell me if you can count on one hand how many TRUE friends you have in your life then you are a very lucky person. I feel so overwhelmingly lucky for the friends that I have in my life. They are truly my sisters from other misters LOL.

That is so wonderful and worth it's weight in gold and diamonds. Hold on to her. My Bestie/Road Dawg is my sister (2sweetnsugarland). The older we have gotten the closer we have gotten. We do everything - I mean everything together. We are having this surgery together...tomorrow. I love her to pieces yall.

Raine - hold on to her...she is a precious gift from God. I'm gonna hold on to mine! :D

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
