I started a new job about 3 months before I had surgery. Told my boss and HR and 1 trusted coworker what I was doing. No one noticed or said anything about my weight loss until I lost well over 50 lbs, more like 65 lbs before they said anything to me. The HR head actually asked to see an old picture of me because she couldn’t remember what I looked like before. It’s been really easy. Someone who was overweight asked me and I took her aside and told her what I did. Everyone else I told that I had a health issue and had to lose weight (true) so I was doing high Protein small portions. My cover story was gallbladder surgery.

I told my nosey coworkers that I gave up bread, rice, Pasta and potatoes and I have Protein with every meal. I didn't tell them about having the sleeve because it's none of their business. I only told those that are close to me and would support my decision.

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