Went out to dinner with my daughter for her birthday. I really can't believe the difference in the amount of food I eat. I make my daughter split an entree with me (don't judge me) when we go out to eat ever since surgery. The portions are huge so ... we both end up with enough.

Anywho ... got the free chips & queso ... I ate may 7. We got the chicken fajitas for dinner and I had 2 chicken strips & some cheese, sour cream,onions & bell peppers. I ate the 2 strips of chicken & a little bit of the other stuff but left most on my plate.

My daughter got the chocolate cookie w/ icecream for her birthday. I tasted it.

Pre Surgery would have been a whoooooooole different post!!!

I freakin love this sleeve!!!!

NOTE to self .... no matter how good it looks never EVER try the dessert. Uuuuuggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh horrible sick to my stomach feeling. I'm confident it was the too sweet dessert. Uuuggghhhhh

I still love my sleeeve....

Have a Chili's about 1/2 mile away. My only problem was spicy shrimp and flour tortillas. I left that food in the restaurant, fortunately I was seated near the restroom that night

The title of this post made me hungry. Growly belly* ;0)

i ate there with my girlfriend. i ordered the margarita chicken. only had about 4 bites and that was all for me. i took the rest home and had enough for 3 more meals. i am so a cheap date. my girlfriend was with me and she is pre op----still gotta do all the hurdles, anyhow...she ordered the double cheeseburger they have and it almost made me sick how big it was. she ate the whole thing and i wanted to hurl. it was very hard to watch. i felt a little guilty only eating what i did. she probably felt the same as me only opposite if that makes any since?

Makes perfect sense @ Sassy. The surgery really makes you notice portion sizes and how ginormous they are. A friend of mine warned me of this presurgery.

i didnt have a pre warning. it just puts everything in perspective of how much we really are eating compared to how much we really need. i have a hard time watching anybody eat now. it is weird. i just make sure to focus on the conversation and company instead of the food anymore.

I am the exact same way, when my husband and teenage son are eating ( neither one overweight at all) I have to leave the room sometimes. Just watching them eat so much and knowing I use to match them bite for bite almost makes me sick. The thought of going to a buffet is awful.

Yeah, I might have to start leaving when my boyfriend is eating. It is driving me crazy. It makes me not want to eat.

I share meals with my daughter too! I usually order some Soup and just pick at hers or my husbands' meal - lol. Or I order an actual entree and take most of it home - love it!! I also am noticing that my tiny 8 year old eats more than I do these days - crazy!

I actually think I have had dumping after eating anything too sweet or rich - It's a powerful motivator!! :-)
