My mom scheduled our Mother's Day lunch at a buffet lol. I am about 5 weeks post op. And she is doing her six months pre-op plan with a nutritionist.

I'm not super upset or anything it's just like ... Sigh. food as part of events is one of my bigger worries going forward I guess. Let's do lunch or let's go have a drink, everything seems to revolve around food. I can still stay on track but I don't want to talk about my food choices with every person and people probably will comment if I'm eating two bites of something.

Thanks all. I'm still on soft foods but I was able to have scrambled eggs and some cheese from the cracker tray. For $17. Lol. It was a specialty buffet for Mother's Day rather than like a buffet restaurant so lots of rich stuff and seafood and stuff, no salad bar. I was at least hoping for cottage cheese lol.

Nobody said anything about my plate but I found out my mom has told my entire family without my permission about my surgery.

I'll have to look into that bariatric card for future reference though. That would be helpful for eating out.
