We all talk about the foods to eat.. the medicine to take.. get some exercise... stuff most of us have heard our entire lives and we know this.... but one of the major pitfalls of putting weight back on even without surgery was always the way the support would leave you. So many people are in a silent competition with each other if one of you get ahead there's people just waiting to pull you back down like somebody else had said if you were always that fat friend and now even though you're not even looking at all the attention you're getting cuz honestly you don't even expect it they stop inviting you out Sent from my SM-G930P using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes and i agree! They are extra weight to lose and i already know being around almost all women that they generally stab you in the back. People see you losing weight and looking better and they automatically think your life is improving. Ha! Not always the case. They get envious of you and think you cheated somehow because you got surgery. Well anyone can tell you that its still a daily struggle. They don't understand that extra struggle. The struggle to stay hydrated.. the struggle to eat when you just dont feel like it... the struggle to stay away from the "slider" foods like cheese itz... yum... the struggle to drink a protein shake meal supplement because you skipped a meal... the struggle to put yourself first which seemed easy in the beginning but old patterns take hold...etc etc Sent from my SM-G930P using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes! Im in the nursing world and surrounded by women. And some got motivated to go to the gym in the beginning and now its a constant comparison and saying how come i dont see you at the gym...pointing out my failures and talking about how they are still going Sent from my SM-G930P using BariatricPal mobile app

Has anyone else noticed any relationships being lost? People that you never thought would back away? Your success makes them feel more insecure about themselves and you might lose pounds/ inches but the you find that the people closest to you become an emotional weight dragging you down?
