It seems to me there are twin problems fat people go through. One is assuming that changing your weight automatically changes your life for the better. It can, but it doesn't have to.
Then there's what we can call the "reformed smoker" way of thinking, where you find yourself looking down on people who have been less successful than you at weight loss. Some of the "losing friends" aspect could be this.
