Hey Gastric Sleeve FamBam,
I thought I was mentally prepared to travel with my partner and join him in his business receptions and dinners. He hobnobs with exec types and I am now feeling like I put myself in a very difficult social situation. I have gone over with him my limitations, and in my head I'm prepared to order soups and a light appetizer that contains protein i.e. shrimp cocktail or oysters.
Some of these folks will probably be raising brows if I don't walk around with a glass of wine or a cocktail (mostly because I have done it so often.)
Any recommendations on how to handle conversations around "Do you want a cocktail?" Or "You are not eating?" Or "You've lost so much weight!" Which I just got, from his colleague who is flying with us. I said "Yes, I had Bariatric surgery..." She seemed understanding and did not ask any follow up questions. Which left me wondering if it was TMI.
Any words of wisdom are greatly welcomed and appreciated.
