I'm telling as few ppl as possible. I have enough anxiety issues without folks judging or making a fuss over me. I've told maybe 10 ppl at most that i'm going to be out a few weeks, even fewer why.

When it comes to "how are you losing so much weight?" My answer will be clean living, diet and exercise... which isn't far from the truth ;)

I have told five people- husband, mother, sister, very good friend, and my boss (who is wonderful). Aside from that I told folks that I was having a hernia repair to help with acid reflux that is causing some issues with ulceration (which is actually the the truth since I did the hernia at the same time as RNY). Everyone knew/saw that for the last 8 months or so I was eating a lot healthier and exercising, and I had already lost about 26lbs which folks had commented on previously. My main reason for not being more open at work isn't my department but rather folks in other departments who might lean more towards being catty or telling horror stories.

I hate to be that person, but be careful posting your email publicly. Spam bots and other unsavories can grab your email right out of this post. Just want everyone to be safe!

Thanks, I deleted mine. That was dumb on my part.

I'm in the similar boat... My parents, sister and husband now. I will not tell anyone else. People are easy to judge and I don't want to hear it.

I don't want to tell my boss, even thou I will be out for 2/3 days.

I wonder if the Doctor will say on a note I got my gallbladder removed?

      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.
