Eating at work



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I just had my lapband fitted in June.

I have not yet had a fill, I am having on this friday.

At work, I seem to have a problem to being able to eat my lunch in the half hour I'm allocated.

Most of the time it's because I'm not hungry yet, and also I find it hard to eating anything fast, or it gets stuck and makes me feel uncomfortable.

I have started to nibble my lunch spread over the day at my desk, and most of the time I get away with it.

My supervisor is sympathetic with me, but he said that he will need a doctors note to allow me to do this.

Has anyone else had a problem like this, and would I get a note from my GP or from the surgeon in belgium?

I'm confused :confused:

Thanks in advance!!

I am sure that a note from your GP will suffice.

No, I haven't encountered a problem like that. I work in a much more relaxed atmosphere....thank gawd!....I'm nibbling on something 3-4x a day!

I nibble my meals too. Probably it would be easy to get a note from your doctor that said you've had restrictive surgery that requires you to eat less and more slowly.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
