I'd totally lie if they are dicks. I'd say "I'm sick and this has anti nausea medicine in it. The alternative is throwing up. I didn't want to make your customers think the food made me sick". Just sayin

That's if I'm not cranky...... Bahahahaha. But really, I'll be honest about why I can't eat. If they can't appreciate that with a huge party ordering dinners, then F them!

On your way out, tell the dicky/bitchy wait staff they're being filmed for that TV show, "What Would You Do?" and that they'll be featured on an upcoming episode to expose how poorly some places treat their customers. Ha ha!

More general advice -- be sure to stay ahead of your pain by keeping up with meds. post-op. Otherwise it feels achy each time you sip of anything and it makes it tough to get those ounces into the new tum-tum! You can feel it goin' down -- not in a good way. I was 'trying' to be good by going to bed at 11:30 vs. trying to stay awake to watch more of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. I took my last pain pill at 7:45 pm so i could take it again at 11:45 pm (every 4-6 hrs as needed). Stubborn me wanted to wait the full six hours until 1:45 am (or later). Well I just woke up now (it's 4:15 am) and... Ooooo it doesn't feel very good swallowing the four pieces of my "split in half" broken pill. ???? moral of the story: post-surgery is NO time to act 'noble' and stuff! Just TAKE IT! You'll sleep and get back to sleep MUCH better. xoxo????

No!!! Charge it!!! Lol

Are you getting lots and lots of Protein and very little carbs? I found the more Protein I get the less hunger I have. I'm getting at least 100g protein a day. I checked and I'm in ketosis so I'm burning fat too, which is why my scale keeps going down each day.

How do you know when you're in ketosis?

How do you know when you're in ketosis?

There are urine test strips you can buy at the pharmacy. They will tell you. Just go to your pharmacy and ask for ketone strips. I'm type 1 diabetic so I use them to make sure my high sugars aren't causing a bad reaction in my body which causes fat to break down. But many diets cause ketones (which apparently aren't bad if you're not type 1 diabetic) so people use them to see if they're burning fat.

      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.
