DoubleD 9 Posted August 15, 2013 What is it???? Why when people know you have had the surgery they watch you eat??? I had a coworker tell me" I see you been indulging a little bit lately." I was 5 second from going completely off. Don't the people know we still can eat certain things but everything is done in moderation. Damn..... :/ 1 Fairyluver75 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anniesmom12 181 Posted August 15, 2013 I get that at work and home! I dont "indulge" very much...but once in a while a little something sweet (and I mean a LITTLE bite of something...like a cookie) wont hurt me. I HATE people watching everything I eat too!!!

Shear Diva 19 Posted September 24, 2013 All of these post are the reason I only told my family and 2 close co- workers!! Ughh who wants to be judged 24/7, we've been through that before the surgery!!! Now the down side to none of my other coworkers knowing is... Everyone keeps saying wow you look great, what are you doing? Can you write out your entire routine and diet for me... Too bad their results will not be the same!!!

Doing It 4 Them 84 Posted September 24, 2013 I haven't had surgery yet but I KNOW this will happen with everything I eat at work. I work with a whole building of busy bodies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's hard not to share the news with everyone because its so exciting!! I don't regret my decision not to share. My grandmother passed a week & a 1/2 before my surgery and I took it pretty bad. ???? So all of my coworkers thought I just took time off work to get myself back together & I never told them anything different! Truth be told I needed the time to grieve and recover...

I've told everyone at work that I'm having the surgery because I figured that would stop some of the gossiping lol. But I've worked with these people for 25 yrs so I know it wont stop it LOL. But most of them mean well. 1 WildGrits reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeepchick42 193 Posted September 25, 2013 I haven't told people at my work but they do know that I'm on a serious diet. I was told that at least I'm doing it "the right way and not having surgery or starving myself." And they keep saying "when you can eat real food again"... So glad I haven't told anyone. It's no ones business but mine. 3 alc1071, Jen_Bach and terry1118 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ponchik 77 Posted September 25, 2013 Yeah, that was one of the reasons I didn't say anything to people I work with. I got couple days off and came back saying nothing My family asks me to eat more, try more salad of grilled "whatever you eat girl". They don't try to make me fail, just don't get concept of small portions and smart meals... Hopeless cases! 1 nursejb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mysecondchance 9 Posted September 28, 2013 I think that is very rude! If they are on the heavy side to them "if you watched what you ate as much as you watch what I eat you probably wouldn't look like that." I too chose to tell very few. I think only my husband, 3 ,my sister and favorite cousin know. the rest of my family is very judge mental and so are my in-laws so they won't know a thing. I'm being revised from the lap band to the bypass November 4th. I know some folks will call me a failure and I don't need or want to hear that. The band failed me. I only lost 30 pounds in 2 years and have stayed there since then. Can't wait for my surgery date to get here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
