Thanks Angel.
It looks like you've got the exercise thing going which is what I MUST do myself. So many say that exercise is the KEY to long term success even after WLS. Here in the snowy cold Boston area, running outdoors is not generally possible, so other avenues must be found.
Keep up the good work yourself.

Don't let others be the dictator to your feelings! If your "friends" can't be happy that you've lost all this weight and aren't willing to change the way you hang out, then are they really friends? What you've done for yourself by having this WLS is a huge deal... You should be proud that you're healthier and happier not only for yourself but also for your family!
Good Luck

Good idea to try wine at home first (thanks to Marsha for catching that) just in case you don't tolerate it.
I had my surgery at Tufts New England Medical Center in Boston (I live in the suburbs about 45 minutes away). No trouble so far. Sticking mostly to proteins but have small amounts of fruit, lettuce, tomato, and other low-carb veggies.
60 lbs down since surgery 2 months ago. Very happy about that.
Still need to do a better job with exercise though.
Good Luck!

Topic: Depressed.......feeling self conscious........confused
Well it has been almost 2 1/2 mos since surgery and for some strange reason I am reallly depressed lately. Not sure why, I mean I understand it is a life change and I no longer have my old eating habits, but maybe its the fact that I feel like I dont have any friends left or I feel that since my weight is falling off I feel like I am scrutinizing my body even more. I either was covering up how I felt before with jokes or I really didnt care how big I was but I find that now everytime someone tells me I look good I feel like running away! I don't think I like the attention or know how to deal with it. My husband is about the only person *****ally supports me and thank god for this website! I am really struggling with the fact that I can't eat certain things and can really not go out to eat and enjoy myself, I would rather stay at home! I do feel great and love that I have more energy for my family but I am really sick of everybody at work telling me how I am not fun anymore or asking me why I am so miserable. I didn't think I was until I sat back and looked at things. Everyone of my friends stopped asking me to do things with them since everything seems to be related to going out to eat and they get mad at me when I get excited about how much weight I lost so I cant even talk about it. Well would love to hear if anyone else is feeling this way or has any suggestions what to do.
