Hey everyone,

I think I am going thru a funk. I am 11 weeks out as of today. I am very excited with my weight loss. I am down 60 pounds as of this morning. I am just having a hard time with the social part of not really eating. I have found that I am never asked to go out to lunch anymore and we never go out to dinner. I really miss the this! Will this change as time goes on? I am really tired of eating my Soup at my desk by myself everyday (

Hey everyone,

I think I am going thru a funk. I am 11 weeks out as of today. I am very excited with my weight loss. I am down 60 pounds as of this morning. I am just having a hard time with the social part of not really eating. I have found that I am never asked to go out to lunch anymore and we never go out to dinner. I really miss the this!

Be proactive, if people don't ask you out to lunch, then ask them! Maybe they don't know if it would be nice or just tempting to ask you out...

I don't find that the sleeve prevents me from attending social functions, including those that revolve around food. In fact, I went out for lunch with friends 4 days after my surgery - the day after I flew back home! We just went to a Vietnamese restaurant and one of my friends ordered pho (soup) and we requested a second bowl for me. She just poured some of her broth for me, and that's it! And you are almost 3 months out, so you should be able to eat basically anything at this point. Surely there are SOME restaurants you could go to where healthier options are available. I wouldn't go to a burger place, but practically every restaurant has a selection of salads or some sort of "healthy" entrees. Even Denny's has some "fit" platter among their breakfast options. Just carry tupperware with you for leftovers and you're set!
