I have a physical job Truck driving ..... I'm only planning on 2 weeks off. Was hoping less but I'll do the two.

If you don't want to talk about surgery, you can just say "I'm working with my doctor on weight loss and am under strict orders to eat very small portions and a low carb diet."
If they say, "come on, it's Thanksgiving, take the day off!" you say, "no thank you, my doctor and I agreed that taking the day off is one of the things that has led me to repeated negative food patterns in the past, so I won't be taking any days off until I've reached my goal weight and maintained successfully for several months."
If they say, just take a bite of pie, it won't kill you! You can say, "no thank you, I don't eat that kind of food right now." (Note - don't say you can't eat it, say you don't eat it -- in my experience saying you don't eat that food is much less likely to lead people into arguing with you that yes you can eat it. Same with "I shouldn't eat it" -- don't say that, it just makes people argue with you. "I don't eat that" tends to be very effective).
If they say, "Gosh, you are wasting away, you are too thin" you can reply "thanks for noticing my weight loss, I've been working hard at it." If they want to keep going with their rude comments, keep repeating the exact same thing. They'll eventually get the point that they are being rude. Good luck!
