social life post surgery

Help I am still a little concerned with how to handle going out to a bar with friends post op. Or vacation eating, and how to handle social situations, what to order if friends choose starbucks etc etc . If you have suggestions that would be great.

Hi Renae, If I go to starbucks and that is almost everyday. I get the drip coffee and add 1/2 and 1/2 and 2 splendas. I never get the barista made coffees. or cappichinos. I dont like them, vacation eating I just stick to eating my protien and eat what I like. I dont go to bars cause I dont like them. Carla Klein/ Centennial Co/Chicago Ill for now

I get the sugarfree, fatfree, decalf Cinnamon Dolce Latte, or hazlenut if they're out of the Cinnamon Dolce. Tall., They are only 90 calories and you're getting your skim milk in that way. Otherwise, just order whatever and you'll take a lot of it home. You'll also play with your food a lot, pushing it around on your plate to take up time.

Hi. Renea! This is Sherry from your Monday night class that ende 1/29. I am also concerned about this, but I think you just have to do what you have to do despite what others think or how they feel. Social pressures can be tough, but you have to decide that your health is more important than doing what everyone else is doing or want ing you to do. Does that make sense? Anyway, I am back on here now that i have my surgery date, so just keep in touch. Sherry PS My husband and I are thinking of having a pre-surgery party once I start the 3 dya fast, and we were htinking of serving jello and water to everyone. Sometimes you just have to turn your situation into something fun to relieve the tension out of it. An idea anyway.
