I am very open with the fact i had the rny i dont tell everyone but my team.mates at work know and refrain from asking me " hey wanna cupcake" and crap like that. i am included in all activites in fact im the one who plans most of them. when they do takeout for pizza or chinese they make it a point to see if i want something that would fit my needs. i appricate the fact that the ask. i made a decision on how i will live the rest of my life and they all are behind me 100%

I respect the point of view of keeping the rny a secret. but for me the more support the better and it has been 100% sucessful.

I agree with this, absolutely!! I was VERY quiet about it before surgery. Now I don't really care who knows. I believe the more support the better! I feel great - nobody will ever convince me that the decision to have RNY was mistake. Given a chance, I think most people are willing to help and support.

So I started a new job last week and they're buying us lunch as a welcome/monthly meeting tomorrow. They're getting 99 which is fine' date=' I think I can find something to eat from them. Nobody knows that I've had surgery. My problem is how do I explain the portion size. Already people are asking if I'm starving myself because I only have a yogurt or Protein Bar for lunch. I really don't want people to know I've had surgery. I already had to turn down an offer of m&ms from the owner. He asked why not so I told them I was on a dr supervised diet and he just stared at me with a strange look on his face. Has anyone else been in this situation and how did you handle it?[/quote']

I just say I don't eat sugar. Or I just tell then I had surgery.

Preop weight 389 current weight 327 that's 62 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I unfortunately had to go out of town for a funeral 2 weeks ago. I used to work in business management and wore a dress or suit and heels everyday. Not a single one fit and I had to buy a new dress for the service. My sister has gained quite a bit of weight and have me all her smaller stuff that was too small for me before and it's also too big:)

      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.
