I am so excited. I am three weeks out, but have lost 55 lbs since I started the process back in Feb. The other day I went to the school where I used to teach and a group of kids (high school!!) walked up and said "Mrs. B. is that really you..you look so awesome" One of the girls said, "you look 10 years younger!" Needless to say, I floated down the hall to the teacher's lunchroom where I was meeting with friends. I got such positive reinforcement and I really needed it. I am sooooo tired of liquids, but am afraid of mushies. I have had absolutely no problems so far and despise throwing up, so I am extremely cautious. I think, with the encouragement I received, that I can continue on for the next 60 lbs that I need to lose. I also want to thank all of you who participate on this forum. I could not have made the journey so far without your posts and encouragement! Just wanted to share my "high".
Just tell him that you had stomach surgery a while back, and you're under doctor's orders to eat very small portion sizes. That's the truth, and it should get him off your back.
You can assure him that you're perfectly healthy on small portions, given that you're probably eating more frequently, and that you're being careful with your Vitamins and Water. And thank him for his concern :sad0:
