I'm so tired of the question "Can you eat this?"

I am so sick of people asking me what I can and can't eat. I know they mean well but really. My mother is probably the worst and she is super supportive but I keep telling her not to worry about it and just cook what she wants to cook and I will eat what I can. She cooks healthy all the time so I don't have to worry about calories and I've told her that there is very little that I can't eat.

Someone at work came in my office and saw me eating a Hormel Kid's Spaghetti & Mini meatballs and asks me if I can even eat that much food. I told her I could probably eat 2 of them. I know she is really curious because she has been to the seminar and wants the surgery.

I know they mean well and I just needed to vent a little.

What questions about Lap Band are tired of hearing?

This is why I only wanted a few people to even know about me getting the surgery. I get my band tomorrow but I'm sure the people that do know will eventually annoy me too with their questions. My sister had gastric bypass a few months back and I am not looking forward to being compared to her either. It's not a competition, but she will make it one I'm sure.

Congrats Kat! Your new life starts tomorrow.
