How do you get through it when it hurts so deeply?

Someone I considered one of my best friends for almost 20 years has recently become rather hostile to me for no apparent reason. He's not overweight, but he seems to have a problem with me getting more attention than him. We recently had an falling out because a guy we both had a crush on decided to flirt with me over my friend. This friend of mine is obviously jealous about it, which is normal, but has taken the issue a step further by voicing to several mutual friends his displeasure at "how conceited" I've become since my weight loss, but has not voiced this to me. We currently aren't speaking. I'd confront him to discuss this, but he'd deny it- Whatever. I've since made the painful decision to cut the friend out of my life because the relationship is no longer healthy for me. I know many of you have had to go through this post op, but how did you cope? I've known this person a long time and it hurts more than I actually want to admit. Please help.
