Hmmm, it's too bad that you have to deal with these comments - I agree, it's pretty annoying. But I feel that one of the reasons that your friends are claiming you have a "bad attitude now" is maybe because your response to them can come off as pretty prickly. As irritating as these comments might be, if you want to keep these friends (which, of course, you may not! and that's totally understandable), you'd have to entertain their stupid questions and be a bit more patient. For example, this is how I'd respond to these annoying statements:
Annoying friend: "You've lost your shape!"
You: "One of the reasons I had weight loss surgery is because I didn't like my old shape...my new shape fits into an awful lot more cute clothes! Haha! *change of topic*"
Annoying friend: "You don't need to get any smaller!"
You: "This isn't so much about size for me, but more about health. I love how much lighter and more energetic I feel now that I weigh less, and it's so much easier to walk and run without all that extra weight! Did you wanna join me for a 5-hour hike in the mountains this weekend, by the way? *friend will change topic herself to get out of this offer*"
Annoying friend: "You do not need to go to the gym that's why you had surgery!"
You: "Exercise is very important for health and well-being. In fact, it has been shown via research that overweight people who are active tend to be healthier than slim people who are sedentary. Not only is it great for your cardiovascular system, but also your mental function and your moods. Would you like to go for an hour-long run with me this evening?"
Just some ideas. If you respond in such a manner that doesn't antagonize them further and is entirely logical (why wouldn't you exercise when it's so good for you!?), they'll just stop making those comments. And if they don't, then maybe it's time to find some new friends.

Today is day 6 out for me. I was not supposed to start full liquids until day 5, but I was so hungry and couldn't stand just broth anymore, that I had to have some cottage cheese (which is on my full liquid list) on night 4. I had 1/4 cup of C.C. and I felt so much better. I think I even slept the whole night after that. Now, when I wake in the morning, I am super hungry, but three bites of C.c. and I am full. The rest of the day, I only get minor hunger. And one or two bites does it for me.
I remarked to my hubby today, that I am maybe eating 3 cups total of food in a day, where as before I could eat 4 cups in one sitting and come back for more 20 minutes later. I know I will ever go to a buffet again. There is simply no need for all that food.
So I would say once you start on something more substantial, you will feel more fulfilled with smaller amounts. I have been doing my full liquids for 2 full days and usually 1/3 cup is comfortable for me. Before, I would feel like I was missing out with 1/3 cup food. It's great! I've been eating yogurt, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes
I also eat out of measuring cups. It helps me to see what the actually serving sizes are and boy did I over eat in the past. Never realized how little food you actually need to survive.
