My office is having a pot luck today starting right now. A few people keep inviting me in. One said just come in and have a look at the food.

Would you say to a drug addict "come in the crack house just to have a look"?

I am still on liquids even though my dr said I can start eating soft food. My tummy is still a little sore and I don't want to hurt myself.

So I am just staying away from the food.

Congrats on your will power!!!!

Did they know you've had the surgery and still asked you to come "look" at the food? If so, that's really inconsiderate! I hope that's not the case!

Keep it up!!!

I'm getting banded a week from today... are you still not hungry? when was your surgery?

Be proud of yourself! That is such a big step, turning away temptation.

High five to you!

No my co workers did not know I had surgery. I wanted to keep it on the DL.

@CarrieCarrie, I had my surgery a week ago yesterday. I am still do not get hungry and most of the time I don't feel like eating. I look at my watch and think it's time to eat. My tummy growls but I can not tell if I am hungry or healing.

Now my co workers are telling me about the hot chillie that I missed out on. Well good, I can't stand spicy food. So I really did not miss out on anything. NO BIGGY...

All I'm thinking about is healing.

You know what's bad, is when my kids try to feed me. Last night they were having fried chicken, mac and cheese and deep fried potato. My little girl says she wants to have dinner as a family but I can not sit at the table when they eat that kind of stuff. I just can't. So I sit in front of the tv while my family is eating at the table.

I keep thinking "I'm healing, this will pass, remember what you are doing this for".

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
