Didn't Gain Any Weight

Well, went to the Dr. for my post op follow up and I actually lost 4 pounds. I was certain that I had gained weight because I've been eating everything under the sun. Sure, at some point I just stop because I can't continue eating, but I was sure that I was going to gain weight. So, I'm 248 and will be getting my first fill in 3 weeks.

Talked with a co-worker yesterday and she is having hesitations about getting the lap band because she won't be able to eat the foods that she used to. She still doesn't know that I have had the surgery and not quite sure if I'll ever tell anyone at work. But she's getting a little nervous because there's someone at our job who has had the surgery and they talk about not being able to eat all the different types of foods they had in the past. Well, isn't that the point of the surgery. I tried to relieve some of her fears, but who am I? She doesn't know that I had the surgery, so what can I tell her.

Oh what a tangled web we weave....

Maybe this is the time to PRIVATELY talk to her - ask her if she notices what you eat every day--and then just say - so I don't think you need to worry about what you can eat after getting the band -- let her figure it out from there lol

MoOrLess beat me to it...lol. I would just tell her. It would be nice to have a "buddy" at work.
