Eating out

So I have been on my pre-op liquid diet since Monday and I have found it pretty easy to go to lunch with friends on my lunch breaks when I am at work. I thought it would be more difficul****ching them eat some of my old favorite foods, but I had my chicken broth and I was fine. If anything they felt bad for eating in front of me. Has anyone else had an experience like this? I keep telling them to stop apologizing, but that isn't working lol 

I just spent a week in San Antonio, TX for work and sat with my coworkers at every meal.  It honestly didn't bother me at all.   I made sure I drank my protein during or right before they ate.  Surgery is Monday and I'm ready!,

I have surgery Monday too

There are going to be a dozen to a thousand situations that will come up from here on out.....

The key is..... it doesn't matter... don't even give it a thought.

They don't feel bad for you.... they feel "respect" for you because your doing something that takes commitment & determination to improve your life !

Don't let anybody or anything get in your way !!!!

Thanks for the insight I don't plan on letting anything get in the way of what I want for myself that's not the kind of person I am. 

I have a wedding to go to this afternoon and the Green family are some EATERS! I was going to leave right after the wedding so I wouldn't have to deal with the food. But the reality is that there is food everywhere. There will ALWAYS be food everywhere, so I need to man up and deal with it. Sooooo, I have my protein drink in my purse and I am ready to party!

I haven't had this experience with my friends, but now I'm curious and will ask!  

They sound like some good friends and they care about yoy!!! Just keep smiling and reassure them it's fine and that you got this!!!! Your doing this to better your life !!! :-)

When friends or family tell me they feel bad because I can't eat what they are eating I simply tell them.."Don't feel bad for me, this is what I chose to do for myself."
