When did you Begin to Notice Changes in your Relationships with Friends and Family?

I am nearly 7 months post-op and down 110 lbs. At what point post-op did you notice a jealousy or change from friends, family, or coworkers? Was it slight or overt? My psychiatrist warned me this may happen, but I felt my network of support was stronger - apparently not. Female friends are now excluding me from our regular outings and plans; family members made snide comments at Thanksgiving; coworkers have changed toward me. I realize that I have changed, but it has been positive in my opinion. I've always been assertive, so it's not that I've suddenly turned into a b*tch who won't take crap from anyone. I've tried to address my feelings, but they've been dismissed. I'd love to hear from others regarding this issue. Do you just chalk it up to experience and move on and meet new people? Thanks.
