Sitting here as my family eats steaks,fried shrimp,and baked potatoes. My tummy is growling as I sit. :( but Damnit I will be skinny!

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!

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.

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

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. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
