Do people treat you different?

I am about 2 1/2 months post-op and back to work for 2 weeks. Many of the people I work with have been treating me differently. They all know I had gastric bypass surgery. They almost act like they are going to "catch" something from me. Any one else have these problems and how do/did you handle? I work at a company that eating is part of our job descriptions and I think everyone is afraid to eat or mention food in front of me. I've had people ask me questions, which is better than talking behind my back, but then it is usually followed with the phrase "I feel so bad for you." Why, I don't feel bad for me, I feel great, I've lost almost 60 lbs and remember, this was my decision to do this. Thanks for everyone's help and advice!
