Boy was that difficult to get loaded! You can see my photo from the day of surgery my husband took at the hospital and today at the office Everyone keeps asking me what I'm eating...haven't touched the candy!!!! Had a slice of pot roast and some peas and carrots for lunch...coffee and a few cubes of low fat low sodium cheese this morning. So far so good....

What do u tell them ? Only a select few know I am banded. When others ask I tell most if the truth .. I eat around 1100 calories n workout 6 days a week.

I only told 1 person at work. Everyone else only just recently started noticing the weight loss. I wear the same scrubs though, they are super big and when i wear my scrub jacket you cant really tell i lost much.

One of the nurses asked me how much i lost and what was i doing, i just said oh just like 30 pounds and exercising like crazy. Meanwhile i dont really like this nurse in particular so i lied. Some staff members im cool with ask and i tell them my real weight loss but not that i had surgery. I talk about the gym all the time so thats what they think.

I dont think its really anyones business how much i lost or how i am losing. So far only few people actually no im banded but thats my choice not to tell them.

A few people at work know only because we are great friends outside of work and I can trust then with my life n all my secrets...

I do the same I talk about the gym all the time n check in on Facebook lol I am working hard at this. When people ask how much weight I lost I say enough for new clothes. Im guarding my band n surgery like govt secrets lol just cause of the stigma it's the easy way out. Umm I'm up at 430 am for a 530 warrior or spin class I'm really working hard at this:) with a lil help from my stomach accessory:)

I agree!! Im not that cool with alot of my co workers but the one I am cool with knows everything. The others are just associates. As of today i lost 70 pounds so far (including 6 month diet) and it is a noticable amount of weight for the ones that pay attention to me.

When some people ask me how much I lost I say like 30-40 pounds just because when I tell the ones that DO know I have the band the real weight loss of 70 pounds, I just think they look at me like wow you were big or something.

Or maybe its just the way I think.like people would judge if they knew the truth that I lost 70 pounds and was a real fat a**. Instead I say like 30-40 pounds so it doesnt seem.like so.much.
