Thank goodness I never had a sugar addiction. It was bread, crackers, carbs. Now we have no bread or snacks in our house, so the best solution to me is not to have it in your house. So many people have kids or grandkids, so I know that is harder for some. Good luck.

Where there is a will there's a way, he he!

In all seriousness, keep your eye on the prize, and that is your health and weight loss. I think he will come around. For sure he will gain weight.

His problem. But my hubby wouldn't come home to refried beans and cream of wheat either LOL. You can sauté great veggies and a great hamburger patty for him, or a steak which takes just minutes. Or add him a microwaved baked potato. That is if he comes home without eating. Til then, feed yourself! Good luck!!!

Why don't you go to a free WL Seminar, sign up, and they will check with your insurance and do all the legwork.

I put it in a small glass of V8. Great! I make a protein shake once a day, adding silk almond milk, 1/2 vanilla yogurt, ice, GENEPRO and SF Hershey's cocoa powder.

Mix, mingle, get some Dasani strawberry sugar free drops which are red, and add them to the water. There, you brought your own yummy drink. The more you move around no one is going to see what you eat, and say the truth, I ate before I came, I am strictly dieting. Relax!

I find most of the questions are not what to cook, some of these Newbies have no earthly idea of the stages of eating after surgery. I think that is why we get so many questions about eating solid foods a week post op. If no one gives them instructions (their surgeons), they are clueless and that is scary. I am trying to make sure we warn them to push their surgeons for instructions, more than anything.

We never even tod anyone we were having a procedure. Just moved on with life as we dieted. Life is so simple for us as a result.

Not on dialysis SandiJ but I just wanted to say hello, and wish you the best. Hope that you find the answers you need! My sleeve was done outpatient in a great hospital, and I was home in 8 hours. I think you need to consult with the finest Bariatric surgeon you can find.

Hello! Are you male, female, pre survey or post surgery? Welcome and enjoy the knowledge you will gain here!

Sounds like you are not sitting around eating! Welcome to the group. Fifteen or maybe more years ago I followed my poor husband to WL seminars. If he had known about the sleeve back then I think how wonderful it would have been for him. However it is never too late, as we were sleeved at 67, three years ago. Best of luck!

Good! You cannot go into this without being very well informed!!!

Actually I cannot remember that far back, three years, but I am assuming that I took a bite of something! But since my husband and I were sleeved together we were accountable to each other and we are always side by side, retired.

Honestly I did not have pizza pre-op! It was three years ago, and I know I ate something but can't remember what! Probably a candy bar lol!

Make it great, savor the new tastes!

How does she know any of your business! I refuse to let anyone negative into my personal space. ANYONE. Good grief!

I stayed 8 hours and took nothing . I think you will sleep and rest. Walk a little. So for sure slippers and a robe. You can pack a heavy bag but seriously doubt you will need it. Happy for you!!!!!!!

You can always lie on the bed and cuddle him!!!!!!

The surgeons coordinator led us every step. Without her we would have been lost.

I can't help but laugh as my surgeon said he found a hamburger in a stomach so what we ate he would find. I was scared he would find pizza in my stomach!

"After Bariatric surgery". Good grief where do these words come from??????

Advice, leave off the mashed potatoes. Google puréed foods after iatrochemistry and get plenty of answers and ideas! Good luck!

Four weeks after surgery, I barely sipped soup. One year after surgery for my birthday in New Orleans, 2 glasses of wine made me drunk and carried home. To each his own, I made a fool of myself. Thank God for my husband and family.

Food is LOVE from my poor childhood with an alcoholic father and a loving Mother who made me Georgia dumplings, biscuits and gravy.
