I'm going on a date but I'm worried he will think something is wrong when I order a meal and take literally two bites and be done. I've lost 88lbs but I am still over weight so I'm just afraid he's going to think something is up at dinner. Anyone have any suggestions to make this as least awkward as possible?

i cannot stand the sound of someone eating!
heylinda posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe it's because I'm on liquids but I cannot stand listening to people eat and chew. It annoys the crap out of me! My place isn't that big and I can hear my son or boyfriend eat at the table and it grosses me out, I just want to walk over and smack the food out of their mouths. Sorry for my lame vent session Sincerely Bitter Betty -
Getting my liquids in no problem but I'm sooo hungry for regular food. I'm daydreaming about chicken and seafood! A little part of me is wishing my last meal wasnt sushi, I should've went all out. Now I have to wait another week before starting mushies then 2 more weeks for regular food. :-/

It's definitely tough smelling the food my family is cooking, I almost get angry because I can't eat with them but you're all correct...this is temporary and mushie stage will fill my lil tummy. I like the mashed potato idea thx :-) Thanks for all your support. It is very much appreciated :-) -

heylinda posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went to the hospital and next thing i know im waking up post op room. I'm in so much pain, I'm taking it one hour at a time. I think the pain is from all the gas. I've been forcing myself to walk around the halls every 2 hrs and it helps. -

Thx everyone, right now I'm just starving but I believe in what everyone says that everything will get better :-) -
I still can't believe I'm so close to having my surgery. I will be the first to have surgery that day. The Dr. should be well rested after the day after the 3 day Memorial day weekend (unless he is on call). I am so excited and nervous at the same time.

BCBS approved..starting pre-op diet tomorrow
heylinda posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Completed my 6 month diet, blood work and psych eval and now pre-op diet starts tomorrow! I am choosing not to share my surgery with any friends, co-workers or family...the only person who knows is my fiance. I don't want to tell them until I'm at least half way to my goal, I just don't want any negative comments about my surgery that I have waited so long and worked so hard to get. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories. -

Hello everyone, I'm currently on my 5th month of my 6 month supervised medically supervised diet. I'm almost done and wondering if anyone had out of pocket fees even with insurance. I have BCBS in San Diego, CA. Thanks
