Anyone else have issues with friends or co-workers who just keep offering you food no matter how many times you explain how managed your diet becomes post op?

Not directly to me, but between all the different departments in my large plant, there is a big party going on everyday somewhere in the plant.

food, goodies and huge amounts of it.

After bypass it no longer looks good, and luckily no foodie pushers yet.

Not yet, but I'm anticipating it from my mother in law next time we go visit. Worst food pusher I've ever met!

My parents are food pushers!! I'm visiting them right now for a week and it is constant, even though I tried to head it off by having a calm conversation when I first arrived. But everyday "do you want strawberry shortcake" "Ice cream" "cake", "cookies" "hot dogs" "sausages" -- should I go on??!! It's insane. My dad does it even while I'm in the process of eating. It's really hard. There will always be someone who does that. They really don't mean anything by it, not really trying to sabotage, sometimes it's all they know.

My father N Law is the worst food pusher of them all. It's weird because I see him every Sunday and sometimes in between. He is always looking at me weird and telling me how pretty I look now that I am thin.

Then comes the, do you want a piece of cake or he is always pushing butter pecan ice cream on me. Of course I never take it and no matter how many times my hubby and I tell him that ice cream gives me a tummy ache, he still does it. Many times badly enough to put it in a bowl and hand it to me. I just don't understand why someone does that?

Then he will say things like, I am so sad that you can't have ice cream. "That's just terrible, it's a shame....." I always respond by saying I honestly dont even care about ice cream. I would rather eat some fresh strawberries or cherries or steak! LOL.

He just doesn't understand and I am certain it has to do with his age. He thinks that I completely screwed up the rest of my life. It's too funny because I am thrilled with how I look, how I feel and that food no longer has a hold on me. I simply eat to live, not live to eat like before.

My coworkers are TERRIBLE food pushers. They will bring sweets to my desk and hold it in my face with sweet and kind faces (we have the world famous Donut Bar across the street)—and when I gently put up my hand and say "no thank you," you'd think I broke their heart.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
