Ok, I'll give it a try, but the guys at work are look at me funny. :lol: But it's not like they don't already think I'm strange.

I'd think you'd be used to the funny looks from the guys at work by now, then! Isn't that the new normal?

I am pretty much used to it, but I still want them to think I'm an "outie" not an "innie". :o

So, depends on how you define "woman issues," now, doesn't it? Could be a woman you know went wacko and she (and her knife) were an issue for you...

Just sayin'

Joatsaint: There ya go! That oughta do it.

Back to the more serious original topic: BigChange - just keep reminding yourself that just because someone is nosy enough to ask doesn't mean you have to tell anything you don't want to. I think a lot of the answers that have been provided are good ideas. I generally don't recommend lying, as you then have to remember the lie or risk forgetting when someone mentions it. However, there's no issue at all with simply not giving all the info, or any at all if you choose not to.

      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.
