That was an eye opener, she is NOT a true friend to disclose something told to her in confidence! I understand how you feel, but it may not seem as bad in the am. But,she was WRONG and I would tell her NOTHING else!

OMG, that's terrible. but before you start busting heads, did you use your work's insurance? maybe the rumor came down to office heads and one of supervisors let it slip? You have to go to work, don't let them get the best of you. And tell them, I was caught off guard yesterday yes I got lapband but I want to keep that information private. and I didn't appreciate someone flapping their F&*^$$& lips. especially in a medical office. condfidentiality is number 1 rule and they broke it. I would have been sooo hot. Why doesn't hubby know? I know its soo easy for someone else to say something so easy, but we are hear to support you. (I would have wanted to wipe that smirk off that girls face!)

You're doing great! You recognize the head hunger and you're dealing with it! The great thing is, you can have this stuff - you just have to make wise choices with it. A meaty pizza and toss the crust. mongolian style chinese food or make it yourself. Everything is accessable, you just have to make it work for you. Stir fry with chicken with the sauce on the side. Congrats on your progress so far!

ditto on this site great to meet and share experiences with everyone you are so right that this is a tool. thank you for the inspiration getting my first fill on march 13th.

wow! i am saddened that you had to have this experience, but you know "haters gon' hate" (!) so let them. i work in a space that is dominated by women and i knew that telling certain people would ensure that the whole office knew so i wouldn't have to tell my story a million times. i know we are all different, but i am now proud of the fact that i had the courage and smarts (pat, pat) to take advantage of my employer paying for me and my husband to have this procedure! i'm telling everyone now and it feels good. i have been holding this secret hostage since i began the process last summer. i still haven't told my mom, but like others have already expressed it may be a good idea to consider sharing the news with your husband in case complications arise. you must be doing a lot of things right if those office haters are willing to go to any length to make you feel and look bad. head up! keep plugging away:)

They did the same thing to me-- spread gastric bypass,,, I never said i had anything done except hernia repair which is true, I am loosing slowly, and they see me eating kinda normal, just that I am on a diet of sorts. They actually cornered me, in how much did you lose, when did you have surgery, and I went on about hernia. They over it by now, I was flavor of the month, now some gal quit -she will be the flavor for a while. I really do not care, but you must NEVER feel you need to give anyone any explanations for bettering your health. Never - ever- My ex told me> - what they eat- should not make you s..t.- move on with a clear mind and head UP! Congratulations on your valor to get the band.

what are you using the Body Fortress Protein shots for? i saw them at walgreens, but wasnt sure if we should take them? were you instructed to take them? sorry lots of questions, today was my surgery and i have no hunger, and i had a hard time getting all my liquids in pre-op. kind of scared of losing muscle mass cause i'm not getting enough protein...

How does your husband not know! Wow, I couldn't keep something like this from my hubby. And I would be furious if what happened to you at work happened to me. But try not to overreact - easy to say from a distance, I know - but you still need to front up to work each day. I didn't tell anyone at my work until I had made some really good progress and was happy to talk about.

you go girl!!

At my center, they said, to eat crunchy things but also you just have to see what you can tolerate. If I had to eat crunchy veggies all the time I would die, I eat a lot of soft foods, and have no problems with hunger etc. They never made me list off what I ate to a dietician, it was based on how full I felt etc. when getting a fill. Hahaha, if I had that, I would have lied to the dietician too!!
