I was thinking that it may be hard to be around family at dinner so I'm planning on going for walk or to the gym while they are eating to help control the head hunger. it would have been a lot harder if my kids were little and while my family doesn't do any of the cooking (which I may change too) I am going to try and avoid the head hunger/cravings while others are eating.

Thanks for responding. Yesterday my friend came over with homemade lasagna and garlic bread for my hubby and son!!, Omg I was dying the whole time. I was full from my shake so of course my little sleeve didn't have room for anymore but it smelled so good... I went into the kitchen and rubbed my finger on a little of the sauce and ricotta and tasted it---yes it was yummy---but they noticed I was gone and called out to me--I was busted, index finger in mouth!! They scolded me and I made a little sad/silly face at getting caught....
It didn't feel so good later though and I'm slowly learning that there's a reason I'm not supposed to eat food right now. Our stomachs have been cut away, then stapled, sewn and glued up--and they need to slowly heal before any food can go thru. It must be so traumatic for the body and here I am expecting normal food, or at least a fingerful to feel fine.
Today I'm trying to visualize my ravaged stomach and think abut what will be most soothing and helpful for healing. I'm trying to look at my new sleeve as a friend and I eant to help my new friend heal the best way possible.
