you can have steak, just chew it well and I eat shrimp (without breading) that I cook in a little olive oil and garlic. Just remember not to over eat!

do not deprive yourself! You can always make adjustments to the meals when you are with others. sorry, but it really grinds my gears when people say that they can't enjoy the time with their families over food!

Well I'm on the liquid diet I'm only about 2 weeks out.

I see, that I can understand. There's some people that are a year or so out and they complain that they can't go out with their families because they can't resist temptation. some rant about it not being fair for their family to do things that they can't participate. I understand wanting your family to be aware of your boundaries, but they are entitled to do things they want. My little cousin lost 100+ pounds with just a change of diet and excercise. He lost all of that weight while still being around the family on special occasions. sorry, i took it in a slight different direction. It's just a pet peeve i've developed.

I understand your thought process, you can eat both just eat slow and take a small plate and fill it a quarter full of food instead of a big plate full. It will come...

I'm still on the liquid diet as well. I'm a wife and Mommy to two so I didn't get to stay away from cooking long, even though my husband did try! LOL What really helps me is to drink my meal supplement before I start cooking. I usually leave about 1/4 to 1/2 of it so I can sip on it while I sit for dinner time and my tummy won't be growling. Usually by then I'm feeling full so smelling the food isn't as hard.

Hope that helps.
