Recommended Posts

very rarely do we have food in the office...Except for this week when I'm on liquids.

Dunkin Donuts brought several dozen donuts Monday. Yesterday was hot so the boss decided to treat the office to ice cream, had to see everyone walking around and working with big beautiful bowls! Today, one of the "natural" grocery stores brought in a huge goody basket of organic nuts and muffins and chocolates...

I almost want to call in for the rest of the week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Having not told most people they keep bringing me food and I have to politely decline, tell them I'm watching my calories, then they tell me "But it's all natural, you have to try it!" Don't they understand that NO means NO... because it's about to be "Get that food out of my face and stop scarfing in front of me!":cursing:

If only people were handing out something fantastic like purses or jewelry or cash...I'd be all about it. But of course it's food...

Now to go sip on my Special K Protein Water... mmmm...

Sounds awful. I hate when you say "no" or "no thank you" and they keep on about it.

I know what you mean. I used to work for a family doctor and the drug reps constantly brought in full course meals and dessert and I was dieting. They never could take NO for answer. They acted like I was offending them by not breaking my diet to eat their food.

Just stick out!! Your almost there!

Sounds like you have'nt told them what kind of surgery you are having. Could you say that in preparation for your surgery you need to do a liquid diet to detox/cleanse your digestive system? If they don't know you are having surgery at all you could just say you are trying a Cleanse (those are hip right now).

No I haven't told most of my co-workers... about 100 in our offices and I've only told the 3 people I immediately work with. I'm just going to be a hermit and not leave my computer for the next week! Luckily I have my pre-op appointment today at 11 so I am leaving well before lunch here!

just keep drinking... just keep drinking...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
