  1. This has been a roller coaster ride so far and I know it's still going to continue. But for the first time in a long time I am finally finding myself and becoming happy. I was the girl who would always go out of my way to please everyone but now I'm finally do things to please me. I have found out who the true friends are and who are the fake ones. I've learned not to be so hard on my self and things take time. I didn't gain it in a day, I won't be losing it in a day either. It's been 3 1/2 months since my surgery and I've lost 60lbs. That's more then I have ever lost before. I weigh less now then I did in the 8th grade (btw I'm 24 now). I put 3 pictures together today and I can't stop staring at it. I seriously can't believe this is me now. I have never been happier! Can't wait to see what else is in store for the new me!!

  3. I got my sleeve done jan 14, 2014 and I am done 50lbs. I did tell some of my friends. Some are very supportive and some not so much. When going out with friends I try to find things that doesn't just revolve around food. It is difficult but doable.
  4. Unfortunately my job is a salon. They just own the one place. So I'm kind of stuck. I honestly think this whole thing is ridiculous. I feel like I'm in highschool again.
  5. It's actually getting worst. Our bosses are now involved and I feel like she has all the other girls pissed at me. Our bosses are staying neutral but the other girls are just being so disrespectful. Clearly working together is not going to work.
  6. Thanks. We tried talking it out but there is just so much tension between us. The whole thing just sucks because we are best friends and we work together. Hopefully we can move pass it but I don't know.
  7. One of my best friends was so supportive when I got my surgery now I feel like she is trying to sabotage me. People are saying it's best I was always the "fat" friend and wasn't a threat. But she is still so much smaller then me that she should have nothing to worry about. I tried talking to her and that ended up with us fighting and not speaking at work. Then when she did speak to me it was to tell me it was my fault and I was the hurtful one. All I did was cancel plans for dinner because when we went out the night before she was clearly trying to break my diet by putting all this food in front of me and order so much alcohol a grown man couldn't drink that much. I would never tell someone they can't drink but all the time we've known each other she has never ordered that much. And I don't appreciate her trying to put food on my plate when she knows I can't have it. I even asked her if we can go out and do other things besides going to dinner or a bar and she said no. It sucks because we are so close but I feel like I need to watch my back. Am I just overreacting?
  8. Really you can drink? I was told I can't drink for one year and I'm still only on a 1/4 cup of food so I kind of feel like it's a waste to spend money on that little of food.
  9. I had my surgery 6 weeks ago. I am following everything the doctor has told me to do and I'm happy with my results. The only thing I don't know how to do is balance my social life after my surgery. I haven't gone out with friends because I don't know what do. They want to go out to eat and drink and I clearly can't do that. Any suggestions?
