Hi Jennifer, Sorry to hear she is being so ridiculous. She could have been a great source of support for you going through it together. She is definintely not ready and should not have been banded with her attitude and emotional eating illness until she had therapy and was stable enough to handle the process. She is going to do herself harm that may not be able to be fixed. Good Luck to you and it is smart for you to keep your distance at this point.

This obviously sounds like a person who doesn't care about the surgery, the journey or her health. There is really no reason to try to talk sense to someone like that. I've found, that by trying to reason with idiots like that, the advice you give usually turns into even more of a reason to do what they shouldn't.

Only she will realize what she's doing and stop the behavior, if ever. I also think you should tell the doctor about her eating, it really could make a difference! She may hate you for it, but would eventually be grateful if that call leads her down the right path.

Just focus on your success and don't even let her into your mind. You have enough to deal with on your own journey. Congrats on your amazing success, you're almost there!!

ps..I also live for the Mouse! We go to WDW 2X annually, and are Vacation Club members. Every dollar of expendable income goes to Disney, and I LOVE IT!! :biggrin:

wow... she's one of those that think that they don't need to change their way of eating, they will just eat less.. that doesn't work.. this band is a tool to me... and like an alcoholic in AA, I have to work this program EVERY day of my life for the rest of my life.. I hope she get's her act together for the sake of her and her children.

Your sister's friend needs intensive therapy. She has a very serious food addition that the lapband won't cure...

Jennifer,

Your friend obviously has issues. I can understand your frustration with her blatant disregard for her own well being. Your friend needs some serious help. Her food problems are obviously far worse then any of ours.

I feel sorry for her and her children since she will most likely end up with a shorter life span if she doesn't recognize that she has a problem and seek some help.

Donna

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
