Thank you all and yes I've tried making sure I didn't offend her or something is wrong but if it has she won't open up which we've shared everything in the past so I'm just dont know anymore :/

I know prior to surgery I read on here about people saying they lost friends. I was like how sad but I've got great girls we'll be fine. I made it appoint to never bring up weight loss unless asked because I don't want that to be the only thing I'm known for talking about. One of my very very good friends came and spent both nights with me at the hospital so my husband could go home to take care of our kids. We were pretty close. Talking on FB chat nightly for hours going to lunches, concerts, movies, you name it. Well I'm at my 6 mon post op and she's gone and my heart hurts. I've tried talking to her and all she says is "oh just busy with work" I don't see why she would be jealous she's got a few extra lbs but nothing she couldn't fix on her own. Oh well I just decided tonight that I will no longer be the first to strike up a conversation or go out of my way to try to be friends when it's not as important. Maybe she'll come around maybe she won't but I'm really hoping she's the only one I loose.

Yes I love having it. It keeps me on track. I keep seeing people and I can tell oh they think I've cheated but they do t know its a lot of work no sugar no bad fats lean protein low carb low calorie now tell a former fat girl to cook. Lol I love skinny moms .com cause they so helped me. Good luck to you!

I'm happy to say I reached my 100lb mark (second mile stone) in 5 months! I'm comfortable wearing shorts around family which i haven't done it years! I've started couch25K as well. I would have never thought I'd be running! My goal is to run in the color me rad 5k next summer. I'm extremely happy with my success and I hope everyone else is enjoying this tool we've been given!

Oh no worries. Things went really well. Pain wasn't too bad compared to sleeve. I always have a bad time waking up and nausea but its day 4 since surgery and just sore so I think I'm on the road to recovery!

Little worried about the lifting! I'm trying to pack up two houses to move in to our new one. Oh we'll hubby will just have to step up

Ins payed for wls surgery and my doctor recommend taking gallbladder too but ins denyed gallbladder because I didn't have issue but now 4 months latter I have major issues so now they'll pay. Go figure

So I started having increasing right side pains that would come and go. Didn't really pay much attention to it until getting ready for bed a few nights ago I was struck with such intense pain I was crying like a baby. It went from my right side to my chest to between my shoulder blades. I'm not a fan of my local ER the best one and the one my wls surgeon is at is 25 miles away (30mins if traffic is good) but I was willing to go local. My first thought was "omg ill feel better if I throw up!" We'll that didn't take long for that to happen but since I hadn't eaten in about 2 hrs I just dry heaved (ouch!) as soon as I convenced my husband lets go I'm dying it disappeared! So he then thought I was crazy. Called my doctor in the morning and a few test later my gallbladder is the culprit. Now yes it was an option to remove with wls surgery but my stupid ins wouldn't cover it because there wasn't a problem with it so now I have to have it out their paying. So Monday it is and I'm so ready because these sporadic attacks hurt!

Last week was spring break. We spent the entire week in sunny Southern California. We took the kids to Disneyland and typically I would worry about being able to fit on rides. I even googled what rides an over weight person should avoid. I got in the park and was like forget it I'm doing everything. You know what? I rode everything!!!! Nothing squeezed me or hurt. I fit!!!!!

It was good! I'm down 7 inches around hips and waist! My doctor was very happy with my progress don't go back until June

I go for my 3 month post op check up tomorrow I've never looked forward to a doctor appointment before now I get excited. I can't wait to see how much my hips have shrunk!!!

I'm 3 months out. I'm eating 3 to 4 oz about 4 times a day. I stop when I feel full. How much is everyone else eating? My biggest fear is that my stomach will stretch!

I'm so excited. I've lost 4 pants sizes. I'm fitting into jeans in my closet that i haven't warn in years! Spring break is in a few weeks and we are going to Disneyland can't wait to spend some time in sunny Southern California
