Is there anyone that works with food and had the surgery .. how do you deal with it?

I have a second job at a coffee shop. I just started my pre op liquid diet 3 days ago. So far I honestly don't know how I have resisted. But I have been told it will get easier.

Its been hard I think I would hit my goal by now... I went back on my diet I'm going to see my dietitian next month

How far in the process are you? It hasn't been too bad up until now. I started my liquid diet and trying to work around food was almost unbearable. But it really does get easier.

My surgery is Oct 29th. Haven't made it to the other side yet.

Tomorrow is the big day

I manage a buffet place with salad bar, pizza, chicken, ice cream, and a fountain soda machine. I haven't had to deal with it yet, but tomorrow I will be starting back. I plan on taking my breaks in my office so I can eat slowly and think about what I am eating. We do have some healthy choices on the salad bar, so hopefully I can set my mind on those too. I am going to rely on my sleeve to tell me that I don't need to eat anymore and to not eat beyond that.

I have no doubts that it is going to be a challenge...we'll see how it goes!

I work around food and it's hard ... it's sandwiches which I don't like the lunch meat so I'm good with that but the biggest thing is the Cookies and mustn't and the chips
