How have your relationships changed after WLS?

...with family, friends, coworkers, going out ect?

my family had no idea until about a year ago when my mother was rifling through bank statements that were accidentally mailed to her address.   nother story for another day


the only other person i told was my bff and her only reaction has been to walk over and pull the tag outta the back of my jeans to see if we can get into the same size yet.   good thing we're close. 

i don't get down with my coworkers like that, what happens in mexico.........   

can't say i'm any more social than i have been but clothes shopping is definitely more fun.  my inner-whoooer was suffering at size 18.

if it changed anything it was my feelings toward the caveman (bf) - made me love him more cuz he thought (truly) that i was a prize at 219.

I've lost a few friends because I was the "token fat girl" when we used to go out.  My so called friends don't call me anymore to go out with them.  Thank goodness I work with all men so no problem there.  As far as going out, I am more outgoing now than every before.  My family overall with the exception of one are all very happy for me.

Believe it or not (and most people on OH don't blieve it), very little if at all. 

I've always done the things I wanted, wore the clothes I wanted and being fat never stopped me.  I missed my window for bikini's (my opinion, but its too late when forty is so far away in your rear view mirror) but that's the best (or worst) I can do. 

I've had a lot of upheavel in my life so if I had let weight stop me from living it to the max, I would have been screwed.  Other health issues make it too late for a lot of things now.  Wl can't fix any of it. 

I've been blessed.  The people around me don't make my wl a big deal.  Except for the obvious changes in diet and clothing size, life goes on.

well i started see changes before and it is getting worst only a little over a week post op. I started getting from my female friend "You gone be a piece of work" , "I aint gone know what to do with you" and now 1 week post op and 19lbs gone someone at church told me "you can see the difference already, you looking good" she flipped out. I dont know i tell you, i think with every pound she will get worst. The FAM on the other hand are nothing but supportive, especially since i have 2 close family members that had the same procedure years ago.

Whenever I hear a man refer to a woman as his "friend" it makes me think he's leaving his options open. 

suuuuuuuuuuzy!!  
thinkin: what she's really mad at is not havin a title 

 Get out of my head!!!!!!

Well i have learned to read signs a little better . Thats why she has the friend title.
