I haven't told anyone and I will respond that I am on a medicalt supervised program (which is true) and working out (also true).. I'm a band to sleeve converter And I don't wanna hear the negative comments from people that don't know the struggle.

If you want to tell them go ahead, if not tell them you are eating right and exercising or tell them it is none of their business. Your choice.

I tell people that I practice Portion Control and through exercise. It is a personal choice on whether or not to tell people about your surgery. For me not everyone needs to know every aspect of my personal life, and I don't expect anyone to tell me everything personal about them.

Still pre-op but I've given this lots of thought. I'm going to say ... I eat like a bird and run like a deer.

I tell people that are more just aquaintances that I'm just been making changes for a healthier life. Those much closer to me know the truth. I dis start losi.g weight around Sept of last year,and then had surgery in Jan. so I was already down in weight by the time my surgery date came along. So being down almost 80# feels more since last Sept. people think ita been over a course of a year. I haven't had not one bad feedback from anyone thank god! Same as someone else just said, people are asking me for advice, and that is so flattering:)

I'm thinking when people ask me what I'm doing to lose weight, my line will be, "The opposite of everything I did to get fat!" and if anyone who knows about my surgery dares corner me with, "You took the easy way out," my response shall be, "Yep, just like my mom did with her cancer by choosing two years of chemo and radiation. She could have just gone vegan and smoked pot."

      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.
