Work Meetings always planned for lunchtime I hate this!



Recommended Posts

I planned poorly still on puree and forgot to stop fluids in time to eat before this 1130 to 1pm meeting. They ordered Chinese and all so they can play games and talk before the meeting. Would be nice to be on real food now so no one would ask about my puree and small quantities. Today I will have to tough it out. Don't let this happen to you. It's a bummer. Messes up my liquid intake schedule still only get about 30 oz per day.

I survived the food they ordered was late so they started the meeting it was only 30 minutes. I left when everyone got up to get there food. Hooray!

Maybe bring a Protein shake to those meetings so you can "eat" with them?

I suggest that people not be afraid to talk to the person ordering and/or catering the food. It's perfectly acceptable to let them know about any special dietary needs.

One of the girls brought her lunch and now that I will move into my solid food phase I will do this. She brought tuna salad. I will do that! I actually like bringing my food from home. This way i am never disappointed and my order is never wrong. That happened to one of the girls that day.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
