Well I'm in the pre-stage and I guess several family members and really close friends tried to convince me not to have it done. The closer it gets to my surgery they all seem to be coming around but I don't know I just hope that my pre warning them that I'm still going to need their support and love. So far they all seem to be on board even if they still don't agree. My husband didn't really get why I would have it but the more research I shared with him the more involved he became.
I think in time people come around. Maybe your friends issue isn't even you at all. Maybe it's her own self esteem. I keep encouraging my family and friends to do clean eating with me after surgery. Trying to include them in my change because regardless of how our appearance changes our hearts never will. They just need to know that. Ask her why she's acting differently.
