Surgery Tomorrow at 12:30pm - Fat Friends who aren't supportive - do you have any?

Tomorrow at 12:30pm I will start my journey to losing this weight. I am scared/excited. I know this is the right move. Have people experienced friends of theirs - especially overweight friends who aren't the most supportive? I told a good friend - one of my closest friends what i was doing months ago and she has done nothing but try and talk me out of it. She called me last night to ask me if i was still going to go through with it. She knows I am going through with it - I just can't believe her response. Everyone else has been very supportive but she and a few others who are overweight can't belive I am doing this. Have other experienced this? But all i all I know I am making the right decision as I sit here eatting my cup of sugar free jell-o and drinking one of my last diet cokes. Any suggestions on which protein powder to buy to add to food?

Hi Anne, I just wanted to let you know you have my support!!! Best advice I heard about the negative people is that you need to keep them at a distance right now....surround yourself with those folks who are supportive of you. Then, later...when you feel like it (when YOU feel like it)...you can choose to continue a relationship with the negative folks...but on YOUR terms. Remember that you have the support of all the folks in the OH community!! Best wishes on your surgery tomorrow.....you will be in my thoughts and prayers!! Keep us posted !! Paula

YOU'RE STRONGER THAN THEY ARE, MS ANNE ... YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING THE HARDEST & VERY BEST FOR YOURSELF & THEY AREN'T WILLING TO DO THE SAME FOR THEMSELVES. THEY'D RATHER DRAG YOU BACK DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL THAN COME UP TO YOURS. WHY DO WE FEEL WE HAVE TO KEEP NEGATIVE PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES? I REALIZED LONG AGO, I DON'T HAVE TO ... THERE IS NO REASON TO, SO I DON'T. PERIOD. NO WAY JOSE. I VALUE PEOPLE OF HEART & INTEGRITY & CHARACTER & DRIVE, ETC, ETC, ETC. HELPING SOMEONE WHO IS DOWN IS ONE THING. LETTING THEM DRAG YOU DOWN AS WELL IS SUICIDE. YOU HAVE JUST FOUND OUT WHO YOUR TRUE FRIENDS ARE. LEARN FROM THIS & FILL YOUR LIFE WITH THOSE WHO LOVE YOU ENOUGH TO SUPPORT YOU ... AS, I AM SURE, YOU DO FOR THEM! GOD BLESS YOU & REMEMBER, YOU HAVE FRIENDS RIGHT HERE WHO ACCEPT YOU UNCONDITIONALLY & WILL DO WHAT THEY CAN TO SUPPORT YOU ... DAWN & NICK

Anne, don't worry about those other people. They are afraid and this is hard for them to understand. Try Designer Whey natural protein powder. I added it to my coffee and didn't really notice a difference in taste (just half the scoop though). I've heard that UNJURY is a good one too. You have to order that one online though at unjury.com. Good luck to you hon! Vi
