Cherry 71 Posted May 6, 2013 18 days post op.... Had to attend a large picnic-BBQ today. This was 1st time since post-op that I have been around huge quantities of food.... It was not easy - the vegetable & fruit platters were my sore spot. No one knows I had RNY, though most know I am on a strict diet plan, but one friend brought a veggie platter just for me and kept reminding me it was there Another friend brought a shrimp platter (also in part for me). Then there was all the Hotdogs/hamburgers/ribs/and chicken OK - I did eat a very small portion of a chicken thigh and CHEWED the heck out of it, and a spoon full of chicken-wing-dip. Then came the large cake and all the Cookies. Whew, I am home....... and I got through it. Have another one in 2 weeks but hope to be able to eat a few more items by then (I'll be 30 days post op for that event). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nel 189 Posted May 6, 2013 You did beautifully. I understand. I have a work potluck. Yay. For two days in a ROW there will be an office FULL of food and 13 chicks stuffing their faces like they've never eaten before in their lives. We had 2 people graduate and 2 student workers are leaving. So yay. ugh. I'm leaving for lunch, not going to the break room at all...I'm going to drink my Water, eat my babybell and then my yogurt, I'll shop during lunch. I'm just going to ignore it. IT AND THE 13 CHIPMUNKS WITH CAKE IN THEIR CHEEKS. 1 Jennabeebe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
