Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum I'm still in the verrry early stages of this journey. My initial consultation is on Saturday! Yay! I guess my biggest questions are regarding the social impact on your life. I'm a single 27-year-old female and I work in an industry where attending parties and lunches is mandatory for networking and your appearance does make a difference in how successful you are. I love going out and socializing, so I'm a little worried about how the band will affect my ability to fully enjoy that aspect of life. What happens when new people you meet notice your eating/drinking restrictions? Do you feel left out when you can't indulge? What about dating? I 'm not at all worried about ending my love affair with food, but I'm a little worried about being the weird girl who only ate five bites of her meal and didn't drink anything. I also LOVE to cook for friends. How has that changed for you? How about social drinking? Does it ever feel awkward being the only one who can't have a glass of champagne on New Year's Eve? Any insight is appreciated!
