My husband and I are going to a dinner party two days after a fill, we really shouldn't cancel (new friends from our son's school, invited us a long time ago, lots of orchestration involved) and I can't change my fill appointment either (it's my third fill, I'm required to see my doctor I haven't seen since surgery for this one and appointments while my kids are in school are hard to come by). Long way of saying, I can't really change things. So do I...

Say I had the flu a couple days ago and can't eat quite yet?

Say I'm on a diet and ate at home before going out?

Say that I suddenly don't feel so great?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

How about contacting your friend and asking if it's OK if you bring a special dish to share and then take something soft/mushy that you know you will be able to eat.

If that doesn't work then maybe explain that you are on a restricted diet for whatever reason and work from there.

One thing that I always do right before or after a fill is say that I am having blood taken at the doctors office and I need to fast, or have no sugar, sodium...ect. And people usually seem to take that pretty well and not ask any questions. I think asking if you can bring something is a great idea, I know sometimes people insist on you just coming and bringing nothing, so maybe just bring something along that you know you will be able to eat.... Good Luck!!! :thumbup:

Bringing something is a good idea but you may get "That's all your going to eat?". Personally, I am very comfortable talking about my wls. If your not, any simple excuse as to why you can't eat should work. Have fun, enjoy the company.
