Help--boss announces to whole staff about surgery



Recommended Posts

Best wishes for tomorrow! Post when you can about how it went. We look forward to watching you be a loser!

And you know, if the food police try to give you a ticket, you say, "isn't it great that I can have this and exercise moderation with my band? I love it!"

Like Catherine (you look fantastic in those pics, by the way, Catherine!) I lost less than a pound a week, but I am getting there, and I feel great.

I marched over to her and said" I don't know why you got two divorces,couldn't you just work on it, its that simple"...Needless to say..she keeps her mouth shut now...........

Nice!! :thumbup: Sometimes I wish I could think of things to remark off the bat like that.

Well sometimes I do I just don't say it. So it take some wit and guts. Good for you!

I am so upset for you! That was wrong ... but I think what others have said is probably the case. His not thinking, plus, I'm guessing, a wee bit of jealousy.

On the other hand, you can't change it, and staying angry about it is not going to help. Just use the motivation to rock your program!

FYI, a teacher at my child's school had WLS. She was very overweight for a long time, lost all the weight pretty quickly and has kept it off now for 2 years. Everyone has pretty much guessed. The only thing that I have heard, though, is how great she looks and 'more power to her.' She is a lovely teacher and we're all happy for her. In fact, she inspired me over this past year to look into WLS. Seeing how much she has changed her life, however she's done it, is absolutely inspiring. I would actually hate to think she is spending all her days now miserably starving trying to desperately keep the weight off. I'm happy she has had a way to lose all the weight and still live her life!

I think what he did was wrong Idiot or not. Surley a HIPPA violation. You ll be fine, its unfortunate that the CAT can't be put back in the bag. I only told a few co workers and told my boss she was free to disscuss after my surgery ONLY. I did nt want to disscuss or hear everybodys opinion before my surgery. My thoughts now I don't care what they think ! I am a big girl and it was my decision. I guess my thing was protecting my privacy before surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
