Amy Girl!

I have been off the boards due to work and just read this whole thread and how dare her! I am so sorry.

Everyone has said it but let me repeat it b/c I really like you and think this is total bull. I don't know you personally just via this forum but I think everyone with any sense can see that....

1. This is not a friend

2. This is SO'oooo not about your WLS its an EXCUSE to bring her own insecurities and issues to the table

3. J E A L O U S

4. A REAL friend doesn't have to agree with your decision but should support it or keep her mouth shut. Your doing what is best for YOU. You didn't need her to ok it. She doesn't pay your bills or live your life.

I'm thinking someone is having a bit of a pity party for herself and is afraid that this WLS of yours and the energy that it takes to get our lives in check may cut into the time and energy you put into her. Would she cut you out of your life for being a vegan?

I love you didn't respond to her email. It was childish and I'm sorry but after 25 years your worth a phone call. It speaks loudly to her issues and the caliber of person she is.....it just took 25 years to show her true colors. She isn't being honest with you or herself.

I'm am sorry that this person didn't have the respect for your that you obviously had for her by even including her in your major life decision. Quite frankly at the end of the day it was your business to have this surgery, she should have felt honored you included her. Your hurting and angry and you have every right to be but your strong, you have a wonderful husband to support you, and don't forget you got all us too!!!Hang in there girlie girl.

This kills me, we all were warned this happens but you never think it will happen to you.

Cookielover, you carry on and be strong! I told one of my closest friends who weighs about 100 lbs more than i do and she was not supportive at all. Wantobeme....I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, I agree with you on this one.

One more thing...what kind of a friend ends 25 years because you don't want to eat wheat and sugar???? You are making her hypertensive, how dare you? LOL. Maybe it's the bread and sugar making her hypertensive, I know it makes me feel pretty cruddy when I eat it. You take care of you honey.

AND did I miss something b/c Amy your friend is not skinny and as a fellow fat chick I can call her not skinny! NOT SKINNY

Guess the one good thing about us all having this done is you will find out who your real friends are in the end. I told everyone b/c I didn't want to have to deal with the questions. Its our life, our choice! I don't think any of us would discourage someone to not quit smoking, why can't we make the same decision for ourselves and health not to be fat!

I keep thinking as I get older things or people will stop shocking but but they never do......:paranoid
