Has anyone lost their best friend because of WLS?

My closest friend and I have been friends for 12 years and have battled the bulge together the entire time. I had WLS 6 weeks ago. The first time she saw me after surgery I had lost about 13 lbs and she was very depressed and cried. She said it was just her and I shouldn't pay attention. The next time she came over I had lost about 20 lbs and she not only cried again but she snapped at me which is not like her. She then began to distance herself from me, not calling me. (For reasons too long to explain, I can't call her house and we've had this arrangement for years.) Since last week I have not heard from her at all. I really tried to be sensitive to her feelings. I made it a point NOT to over-discuss my WLS when we were together. I have not bragged or acted overly happy or proud. I have not tried to talk her into WLS or said that she should try to lose weight. I guess I feel that I have not done anything to cause her to treat me this way and I am very hurt by her actions. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
