So my parents are throwing a 4th of July party (Happy 4th everyone!) and I am expected to go...and I actually want to...except how do you deal with all the nosy questions about "how come you're not eating? why don't you want a glass of wine...you always want a glass a wine?" It'll be hard enough not partaking in these things anyway...so hard not to eat and drink when everyone else is gettin' their part on! Anyone else survived an event like this just after surgery?? I really don't want to blow it!...11 lbs gone, and I'm on a roll!

I am in the same boat today - I was sleeved on June 6th. I'm just going to say "I'm watching what I'm eating" or "I don't feel like eating today". Luckily for me, most of the people coming today already know what I have done. Good Luck and Happy 4th!

Depoending on what stage your doctor has you on, you may be surorised at what you can have. Are you on mushies yet?

Hi SleeveDreamer!

No mushies, yet, just liquids until next weekend...can't wait for the soft food phase! I figure I'll just cruise the party with a water bottle with orange crystal lite in it...maybe people will think I spiked it!

I would go if I was you. If they ask why your not eating very much then tell them your not hungry. No problem, they're probably going to be too busy to notice what your doing, and that's a good thing. have a fun time and take care of yourself by following your surgeon's orders!
