I had been doing really good on my pre-op diet and wasn't suffering too much ... Until this training. My schedule is so screwed up. I still haven't cheated but I am miserable and seem to be hungry all the time.

I'm fuming pissed right now. My coworkers are gossiping about my upcoming out of work days saying I'm going out for gastric bypass. I work with a small nasty group of people and I have been super careful not to dicuss my personal life here. Only my one friend at work knows (and she would NEVER betray my trust)that is why I'm going out but to be gossiping about it is messed up and makes me feel vulnerable. They have always used my weight as a gossip point and I'm just so tired of it!! My friend told me what the ringleader said and gave me the FYI.

Why do people have to prey on our vulnerablities?!? I've been heavy my whole life and I'm sick and tired of it. I wish diarrhea on all these haters ... my weight will no longer define me!!!!!!

Are you already on a Pre op diet??Here at BAMC they said they will require 2 weeks full liquids Pre op:/

My surgeon only requires 2 days of clear liquids the day before surgery. I start the clear liquid diet on sunday and I'm looking forward to surgery next week What does BAMC stand for?

How upsetting! People suck most of the time and need to make themselves feel better by cutting down others. I am a very private person and wondered what I was going to tell my co-workers. They will probably suspect when I start losing a lot of weight.
