Enemies?...after loosing 268 pounds

Hello Everyone! I want to ask if any of you have had any negative dealings with people about your weight loss? Any close family members that you can tell are not pleased with you? I'm trying to learn to not care about what people think, but THAT's easier said than done!!! You would think that people would be shouting with you because of having your life back again...living...being ALIVE!!! I really would like to hear from those of you who could take the time to share your situations with me...I'd be very grateful for any insight. Thanks bunches!!! Love, Cindy

Cindy, I lost a very good friend....when we lived in the same city we were always "diet partners". We would lose some, get off the diet and both regain. She weighed considerably more than I ever did. We both moved to other states yet stayed in touch. The same day after my surgery(12/15/03) I called her and told her what I had done....she was in unbelief. She was too scared to have WLS. We had a couple of casual "encounters" afterwards. We have not spoken now in over a year. It's sad....but I did what I had to do.
