fern 195 Posted May 16, 2011 Today was a grand day. I cleaned house ( including furniture moving) all day and didn't even get tired. My kids were playing in the toy room, when my 4 year old daughter hurt her finger. While hugging and kissing her booboo better, she hugged back and practically yelled, " mom!! Look!!! I can touch my hands together when I hug you!!! I haven't seen my best friend since surgery ( about 3 months). She didnot support me in my decision for wls so I didn't want her around until I was fully healed and able to eat well enough in front of her. I finally got the nerve to ask her over for dinner. Her hubby ( also my hubby's best friend) was flabbergasted!! He just kept complimenting me. She never said a thing. Which is fine. I don't need her to say anything. It was nice to be normal around people and NOT have them ask Oh!! And yesterday I ran for 10 straight on the treadmill!!! Yay!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kris 78 Posted May 22, 2011 Yay Fern for your nsvs (which are both way cool), but WTH is up with your "best" friend????? I meant it's one thing to have concerns before the surgery, but come on to be like that 3 months later, what is up? I'd hate to have a best friend who didn't support me in something to improve my health and quality of life. I hope she comes around soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fern 195 Posted May 22, 2011 Hey Kris. Thanks for your response. Ive been best friend with her about 20 years now. We became overweight about the same time and I think alot of her non-support comes from fear I'll change ( and fear she won't). I think there is a huge amount of jealousy too. For example, she's telling me she's been losing weight too and showed me by sucking in her belly and showing me the " loosness" of her pants. Don't get me wrong. I luv her. She's a great person. She's just over the top sometimes. Everyone has their faults ( me definately included) but when they are close to you, you just deal with them. I know I'm happy with the outcome and I know she'll come around at some point... So I'm all good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
