Anyone else have issues with friends or co-workers who just keep offering you food no matter how many times you explain how managed your diet becomes post op?

Not directly to me, but between all the different departments in my large plant, there is a big party going on everyday somewhere in the plant.

food, goodies and huge amounts of it.

After bypass it no longer looks good, and luckily no foodie pushers yet.

Not yet, but I'm anticipating it from my mother in law next time we go visit. Worst food pusher I've ever met!

My parents are food pushers!! I'm visiting them right now for a week and it is constant, even though I tried to head it off by having a calm conversation when I first arrived. But everyday "do you want strawberry shortcake" "Ice cream" "cake", "cookies" "hot dogs" "sausages" -- should I go on??!! It's insane. My dad does it even while I'm in the process of eating. It's really hard. There will always be someone who does that. They really don't mean anything by it, not really trying to sabotage, sometimes it's all they know.

My father N Law is the worst food pusher of them all. It's weird because I see him every Sunday and sometimes in between. He is always looking at me weird and telling me how pretty I look now that I am thin.

Then comes the, do you want a piece of cake or he is always pushing butter pecan ice cream on me. Of course I never take it and no matter how many times my hubby and I tell him that ice cream gives me a tummy ache, he still does it. Many times badly enough to put it in a bowl and hand it to me. I just don't understand why someone does that?

Then he will say things like, I am so sad that you can't have ice cream. "That's just terrible, it's a shame....." I always respond by saying I honestly dont even care about ice cream. I would rather eat some fresh strawberries or cherries or steak! LOL.

He just doesn't understand and I am certain it has to do with his age. He thinks that I completely screwed up the rest of my life. It's too funny because I am thrilled with how I look, how I feel and that food no longer has a hold on me. I simply eat to live, not live to eat like before.

My coworkers are TERRIBLE food pushers. They will bring sweets to my desk and hold it in my face with sweet and kind faces (we have the world famous Donut Bar across the street)—and when I gently put up my hand and say "no thank you," you'd think I broke their heart.

      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?
