Congrats on your weight loss. I understand they are your friends but as I have learned not everybody is going to be as thrilled. 22lbs is a HUGE number in 7 weeks. Sometimes it can be jealousy and other times ppl just dont want to hear it. I have a coworker that had the gastric a year ago and I got banded 6weeks ago yet she is constantly comparing herself to me. It gets annoying and I wish I never told her but I just remind myself that we are not in the same place.
