When dining out w/ others...

how do you handle ordering and not eating very much of your food without telling others that you've had the RNY surgery? I've told all of my co-workers (because I was out on FMLA), but have only told two of my closest church friends. Being Baptist, EATING is a BIG thing!! Every Sunday after Sunday School and Church, our singles group goes out to eat. I have always participated in dining out until recently and several are asking why I don't go anymore. I really want to go because I enjoy the fellowship. However, I do not want to lie to these people when they ask me questions about "why I'm not eating very much" I don't want the entire world to know that I've had the procedure. Perhaps I'll feel differently as time passes. Everything is still very new to me and I'm not ready to open up! Ideas?? Thanks!!
