When I return to work, how can I ease out of eating lunch with the office or explaining pulling out my little blender to make sift foods at work?

You could take Soup for lunch! Just have it already premade and just heat it up. I am assuming you don't want to tell anyone? I told everyone and their dog so it was never a problem for me.

Hi LaLa!

Bring your own lunch prepared per your doctor's orders. With the economy the way it is, nobody questions folks bringing their lunch. Use attractive containers and smile! If you have to go out to a business luncheon, choose the foods your doctor OKs for you and don't forget to ask for that take out box!

I have been telling people on am on a Soup kick lately and I love it..... No one has really said anything. Today I was asked to go out to lunch and I had the soup and half sandwich option - ate the soup and picked the sandwich apart. I said I was dieting and was not eating any bread.< /p>

Shoot...since I've been told to take 30mins each meal to eat, who wouldn't question you being in a happy "talkative" mood with no time to eat?? It could get to where no one would bother to even ask you what you're eating!!

And I don't mean this in a mean way, just a funny way to lighten up our new lifestyles here-ha!

Everyone at work (my students included) think I'm getting over some stomach bug. I have them all thinking I am still feeling under the weather and don't have much of an appetite. I teach and school is almost over, so I won't be able to offer any suggestions past the liquid stage.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
