Oh man, do I know how this feels.....I have had some of the oddest comments out of people that I thought were supportive....until they realized that this was not a temporary thing, but that when I said "lifestyle change" -- I meant it. I really meant it, that I have spent the past year and then some getting up early to get to Curves 3 times a week. That I really don't want to drink my calories and will not be drinking a margarita and eating a basket of chips for dinner after work with you. I am not sorry that this makes them unhappy. I will go and hang out and sip an iced tea for a while....but frankly, after an hour, I'm hungry and want my chicken breast for dinner !

I so get where you are coming from. No one said it was going to be easy....but there were things that I had not considered as going to be challenging that are .....

Hang in there....

 Awe your so sweet!  I fear this may happen, but I guess it's how we find who our true friends are.  Alot of my friends are supporting me thru this but there is a couple who hasn't spoke to me since I had my surgery. Guess I will find out soon enough. But you keep doing you and you will make new friends who accept you and want the best for you. I've removed myself from the negative and I try to think positive whenever possible and it makes life so much more enjoyable.

Yes Yes...   we want to be happier positive people and not live in the misery we have
been living!  Another Awesome Reminder.   AND your right, we will find out soon enought.

I actually have been thinking that I want my my husband ( if i ever get married )  prolly someone who has had weight issues or surgery.  I want to surround myself with emotional and spiritual compatable people.  No more negative drama.  right?  So,  if people dont talk to us anymore... 
its their stuff right???

thank youuuuuuuuu

 OMG know how your feeling now. Just last night a friend of mine told me I needed to see a shrink because I am not happy with me that i want more. Well go to the group board and you can read it there.

But i have lost her as a friend. I am tired of being belittled by her. 
My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

Oh gosh, I dont want you to go through another belittling moment with that friend.
Its true what they have said in options or the BS-groups, we will lose friendships
and relationships.   Just never thought some people would have been those people.
I hope your ok seperating from your friend.  I think it is better for us that we lose these
people anyways....   I am right there with you.

Wow you have read my mind.  I have a friend of 23 years that seems to not call anymore.  I have not seen her since the week I had surgery.  I too feel hurt.  I  miss her very much.

She has just been diagnosed with Diabetes and is herself obese.  I want to be there
 for her, but she has not been there for me...I feel torn..

I must say that everyone her on OH have been very helpful....I love that everyone here is in the same boat. We all can relate to each other.. DOC I must say that you are awesome !!! You are always there to lend a ear, and always know that right thing to say.

I must say THANK YOU  to you for being so helpful to all of us.

I too feel llike my friends on OH are a part of my new family.  The family that can totally understand all this crazy post -op life....
