What do I do? I have a lunch w/ my sister, more like a reunion because we haven't seen each other in 30 years. And then my cousins wedding.

I don't want to have to explain and explain why I'm not eating, I want to have fun and not stress.

How did you handle something like this where you can't get around eating off protocol for a day? I don't want to do a planned interuption as I will not hve been on hcg for more then 23 days. I will try to eat as cleanly as possible, but any advice would be appreciated!! TIA!

Well as for the lunch with your sis. Have it at a restaurant where you can order a steak or grilled chicken and salad. Ask the server to ensure they cook it on the fire without any added fat, grease or butter... just seasoning, and ask the salad be prepared without croutons or cheese. I usually carry a small container of my salad dressing, usually either homemade or Walden Farms 1000 island (diluted with vinegar) in my purse. It takes the pressure off and you get to enjoy a nice meal out with good company.

If the wedding is a buffet type affair chances are you can just get up and mingle during the meal... if it is a sit down dinner, I would probably ask the cousin what is on the menu... if there is a salad and meat such as chicken breast you may be able to make it work... or you can just tell people your having a colonoscopy on Monday and are in the "clean out" phase and not allowed to eat anything for 48 hours... they'll change the subject right away lol.
