Congrats! You are on the road to the life you deserve.

Some people are happier when they are losers (not our good kind) and they can feel superior. Now that you have taken control of your life, the relationship changes. Let go and move to the next chapter. I experienced this when i started doing animal rescue. Friends didn't want to hear the stories or the work i was doing. They can't handle it. I was told I'd lose friends and i did. My daughter told me people come into your life when they are meant to - a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Time to start over girl. So so happy for you.

^{My best friend got the sleeve a year ago in March. She has lost 111 lbs and I couldn't be happier and jealous of her! LOL. But she is my inspiration and my motivation. I can't imagine not being there to support her. I know I will have her right there with me to support me. I am sorry that these women talked about you like that, You should be able to Celebrate losing 100lbs!! That is amazing! Personally I would have opened the door to my house and invited them to all leave along with anyone else that was not there to support me.}

Your story is so encouraging to me. I started my journey at 291 and no after my 6 month waiting period I'm 269lbs going into surgery on Feb 23rd. I suffer from Fibromyagia also and have Chronic back and leg pain. I decided after my 3rd failed back surgery that I was gonna do WLS. I'm so excited and nervous for my Gastric Bypass surgery but your story gives me hope. I want to not have to take Meds for the rest of my life and WLS seems to be something that can help that. Best of luck as you continue your journey.

Take their "hate" and cherish it. You earned it!

You did the work. You made the sacrifice you EARNED the rewards.

Remember.... "Everyone pities the weak.... Jealousy you have to EARN"

You have an awesome husband! I have phony friends and co-workers like that and I just try to separate myself from them!
