Happy Monday-First Day Back to Work!
I have been out of the office since June 26 (surgery was June 29) and this is my first day back. So far so good. I've made all of my meals and snacks so I am set. Have my protein drink and water.
So how many times will I get asked "So how much have you lost?" or "What can you eat?"
Have a great Monday everbody!

Welcome back to work! You will be asked too many times to count. Just prepare yourself to remail calm because at times people may get on your nerves for asking too many questions and saying that you are not supposed to eating this/that.
People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
Yeah, I'm sure you'll get sick of answering those questions. Those of us who've had babies will and do understand this nosey people issue. They rub and touch the belly, ask annoying questions, give unwarrented advice and tell you how big you've gotten or how you're carrying the baby. I even had someone ask me about my "situation" before because I had gotten so swollen I wasn't able to wear my wedding ring and she assumed I was an unwed, black woman! My sister was unwed during both of her pregnancies, so I don't have a problem with the concept, I just wasn't in the same situation, as I'd been married for 3 years when we had our first child. Sigh.
The bottom line with my story is that people are watchers, onlookers and a little bit voyeristic. They will always slow the car and drive by with interest when something tragic or interesting has occured. You, my friend, are an "accident" and they can't help themselves.
Think of a few pat answers and only tell them what you want. You can either go commical if that's your personality (mine) or you can get all indepth if you'd like. Tell them all the same thing and only get real and detailed with the one's who actually CARE abotut you. None of it is any of their business, if you don't want it to be.

lejoyrothe-thanks-Well, I'm so glad they wont feel the need to try and touch my shrinking stomach roll !!!! But you are right about the watching thing. So I am trying to stay in my office, work and then go for a walk to fill my 25 oz water bottle up and get my protein shake. I don't go into to much detail at all, unless someone asks more detailed questions. Sometimes if they are really getting to me, I'll tell them about my G-Tube and gross them out about all that! lol
For the most part it has not been as bad and I thought and let's see how lunch goes. I'm not going to eat until 1 pm, so the lunch crowed will be out of the kitchen.
