Pre-Op Diet, Excuses For Not Eating...

[BandedBettyBoop 36]

What's the best excuses you have for not eating?

I work with my boss Thursday and Friday this week. He doesn't know I'm getting lap band. He thinks it's a lady thing (his words, not mine, I just said it was personal). My pre-op diet starts Thursday. I'm in sales so we typically have sit down lunches at various resturants. I am excited to get pre-op diet started, but I want to use an excuse that makes me not eating LESS awkward.

Any suggestions?

Tell them you are on a special diet before the surgery.

I started my preop the day before thanksgiving 2 years ago. Granted for the holiday my family knew. after that we had oodles of holiday parties to attend and I was on liquids the whole month of December between pre and post op. I just skipped the food table and drank a lot of Water.

I too had work lunches and client visits which revolve around food. I found the less of a big deal I made out of it the better. I would just let your boss know you are on a strict diet pre op... I doubt he will ask any thing more. Afterwards you will be able to eat soup...well at least the broth anyway. Post op.

well, just say you already ate (and not hungry).....you dont have to explain yourself to no one. (or if you can on your pre op, just have a small bowl of soup)...

I wouldn't not eat, I would just eat something extremely light (salad)
