Team Lunch CRISIS!

[three sixty six 1]

Help! I am on mushies and the boss wants me to order pizzas from this place for our team for lunch. What can I order? I am thinking tuna salad. No one knows about my surgery and I don't want them to!

Help!

This is the restaurant: www.grottopizza.com/Menu_Pizza.html

I have a whole lot of lunch meetings I have to deal with. I just started taking my own lunch...especially if I know there aren't good options for me on the "menu". Nobody really says anything to me about it other than, "wow...you're being really good." I was in one lunch meeting with the President of the Company. I brought in my own lunch and was as happy as a lark eating it. She looked at me and said, "You are being so good! I hate you." You would have to know her, but she was basically saying that she admired that I was eating a healthy lunch. If anyone asks, just let them know that you are making an effort to eat healthier. There's no need to tell them about the surgery if you're not comfortable doing that.

I would eat the lunch you had plan on eating today and just order the pizza for everybody else. Just tell them you are not in the mood for pizza or you are having pizza tonight.:thumbup:

I would order the tuna salad and just eat the tuna salad, not the lettuce and all the other stuff. Tuna salad was on my mushies list but it seems that surgeons food list are so different though. Was tuna salad on your list of approved foods for mushies? If you do order the tuna salad, just be careful and chew, chew, chew.

Thanks for the replies :thumbup: I had tuna. Whew! No questions, either. Fine by me!

As an additional bonus, the two somewhat non-obese people who are on NutriSystem had several slices of pizza.. each. I was GOOD!

I'm glad it worked out for you. The second day I was on solid foods I had a work dinner at a very nice restaurant. I was so nervovus about what to order and looked at the menu online before I got there to determine what I should order. I took small bites and chewed very slowly. Aside from one guy sitting next to me who really wanted me to join him for dessert for some reason, nobody said anything. That was 3 months ago...last week, we were at another work dinner, and he came and asked if I was going to have dessert and proceeded to tell everyone around me that I didn't have dessert last time. Oh well! I just proudly and jokingly said, "why are you so interested in what I am not eating?!?"

Hi. I've have similar meetings on a weekly basis. No one in my office knew about my surgery either. I eat much earlier than the others on my team and they have grown accustom to my habits. In a pinch, I have ordered Soup.

Take care,
