What's your go-to response when people ask about your weight loss but you don't want to tell about your WLS?

Thanks. I'm seeing a shrink, eating more Protein, staying way from starches, and moving my ass. I feel great!

I've been watching calories, carbs, and exercising (which is true).

One lady said "Oh, you're doing it the RIGHT way!"

Yup

Staying away from carbs. Eating more protein. ❤️

Most people know that I had surgery. I do have the occasional inquiry at the grocery store, Nail place, etc... I just keep it simple "Trying to eat less, and move more".

"I know, isn't it fabulous? I bought THE best personal trainer money could buy!" (What I wish I would say)

"The weight came off really quickly with a strict diet and exercise." (What I normally say)

"I finally got some things straightened out with my doctor. I'm totally changed my lifestyle - eating right, lots of Protein and cutting carbs. And, of course, I'm exercising."

It's more uncomfortable for me when I eat - trying to explain why I'm "eating like a bird". My responses "I had a late lunch" "Oh, I AM going back for seconds, I just don't like my food to touch" "I had a snack before we came here"

Good point about eating with others! I'm only 12 days out so I haven't had to deal with that yet.

And love the name McButterpants ????
