It's all new

In response to the previous post by Lilu, I don't expect the world to rotate around my new lifestyle. I am around other friends and family members who talk about food and it is a non issue - food is a part of life and will come up naturally in conversation. This particular friend however has changed his behavior to taunt me about food on a daily basis since my surgery, sound effects and all. I am not the only person to notice the way in which he does this. I appreciate your point, but his behavior is just not ok. (can someone tell me how to include the post from Lilu in my post? I haven't figured out how people do that...)

Thanks for all the ideas! Either my friend will get with the program or I'll focus on different friendships. It sounds like some other people have had similar issues.

I had surgery May 10th. My closest guy friend has been really difficult to be around since the surgery. Every time I talk to him he takes part of the conversation and talks about what he cooked, ate, is eating, etc, and is very descriptive about how WONDERFUL the food is. Yesterday it was the milkshake his partner brought him, and did I remember how much chocolate is in the milkshake from this particular restaurant and OH! doesnt it remind you almost more of a custard than a milkshake? etc etc. This was not what we talked about before my surgery. And so yesterday I said - "could we talk about something besides what you are eating? You know I can't eat much food, let's find another topic.". At which point he told me that just be because I had ELECTIVE surgery he shouldn't have to not talk about food, and got very huffy. I'm looking for advice. Am I being unfair? How are other people dealing with situations like this? I am really struggling!

I was sleeved on May 10th. I craved pickles too. I wonder if it's the salt? Also, peanut butter. I am not giving in on peanut butter because of the fat content.

OK, this is my first post. I had my sleeve on May 10. Everything was going pretty well, I had lost 13 lbs by the 23rd, and then four days ago the weight loss stopped. I started at 255, lost 11 lbs the week before surgery on the preop diet, and am now at 231. I have heard that people stall, but already?? I am having one Protein shake, one egg, 1/4 cup tuna, and two ounces of fish daily, plus maybe a tablespoon or two of puréed broccoli as a snack. My doctor has me on a soft food diet after the two week mark. I have not been exercising, but I have stayed active. And I drink 64 ozs of crystal light. Does anyone have a recommendation? I am feeling pretty bummed to not be making progress.
