What's your go-to response when people ask about your weight loss but you don't want to tell about your WLS?

Thanks. I'm seeing a shrink, eating more Protein, staying way from starches, and moving my ass. I feel great!

I've been watching calories, carbs, and exercising (which is true).

One lady said "Oh, you're doing it the RIGHT way!"

Yup :)

Staying away from carbs. Eating more Protein. ❤️

Most people know that I had surgery. I do have the occasional inquiry at the grocery store, Nail place, etc... I just keep it simple "Trying to eat less, and move more".

"I know, isn't it fabulous? I bought THE best personal trainer money could buy!" (What I wish I would say)

"The weight came off really quickly with a strict diet and exercise." (What I normally say)

"I finally got some things straightened out with my doctor. I'm totally changed my lifestyle - eating right, lots of Protein and cutting carbs. And, of course, I'm exercising."

It's more uncomfortable for me when I eat - trying to explain why I'm "eating like a bird". My responses "I had a late lunch" "Oh, I AM going back for seconds, I just don't like my food to touch" "I had a snack before we came here"

Good point about eating with others! I'm only 12 days out so I haven't had to deal with that yet.

And love the name McButterpants ????

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
