Keeping My Friends

4 days post-op... ventured over to our neighbor's house. I must admit that I am a little reluctant... not because I don't love them (they are awesome) but because we eat and drink together. Upon arrival see that another couple, also mutual friends, are already there. Quick panic moment - how am I going to handle this??? They all know of course that I have had the surgery - and they are people I love and enjoy being with. So why am I freaking out?

I sat with my bottle of diet snapple - not a chip in my mouth, not a piece of pizza, not a glass of wine. Turns out they are still hysterical and still just as lovely, even when I am not medicating myself with food. Turns out that the lap band doesn't make you change friends (unless of course that friend's name is FOOD).
