My office is having a pot luck today starting right now. A few people keep inviting me in. One said just come in and have a look at the food.

Would you say to a drug addict "come in the crack house just to have a look"?

I am still on liquids even though my dr said I can start eating soft food. My tummy is still a little sore and I don't want to hurt myself.

So I am just staying away from the food.

Congrats on your will power!!!!

Did they know you've had the surgery and still asked you to come "look" at the food? If so, that's really inconsiderate! I hope that's not the case!

Keep it up!!!

I'm getting banded a week from today... are you still not hungry? when was your surgery?

No my co workers did not know I had surgery. I wanted to keep it on the DL.

@CarrieCarrie, I had my surgery a week ago yesterday. I am still do not get hungry and most of the time I don't feel like eating. I look at my watch and think it's time to eat. My tummy growls but I can not tell if I am hungry or healing.

Now my co workers are telling me about the hot chillie that I missed out on. Well good, I can't stand spicy food. So I really did not miss out on anything. NO BIGGY...

All I'm thinking about is healing.

You know what's bad, is when my kids try to feed me. Last night they were having fried chicken, mac and cheese and deep fried potato. My little girl says she wants to have dinner as a family but I can not sit at the table when they eat that kind of stuff. I just can't. So I sit in front of the tv while my family is eating at the table.

I keep thinking "I'm healing, this will pass, remember what you are doing this for".

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
