This past weekend my husband wanted to go eat at a very tummy steakhouse. I went with him and ordered cottage cheese while he ate prime rib.

Hi Sleeveshelly. When was your surgery and how much have you lost? I like that you were able to have cottage cheese while he was having prime rib..... I was in the early phases and was only able to have liquids and I went to a restaurant with my family and was so looking forward to a vegetable beef soup from this restaurant. Got there and they didn't make it for that day. I ended up having just au jus. I was so disappointed and had to watch my family eat their meals......

Oh wow Shelly that's a rough one!! Are you sleeved already or are you doing the pre-op; diet? Sometimes our families aren't as supportive as we want or need, just remember though that your VST family is here for you

Proud of you! I know what you mean. When I was on a liquid preop we had company and went to this great restaurant and everyone had all these appetizers and great meals, and I had butternut squash soup and took my sugar-free jello and RTD protein drink with with me! Told the waiter I was having surgery and on a liquid diet and he actually bent over backwards to see if he could find something exciting for me to drink! Don't worry your time will come. Just do what you are supposed to do and your time will be here before you know it!

I was sleeved on 9/12. I have lost 34 lbs. I can eat anything that I can tolerate, staying away from sugar and carbs. I don't like to pay for a whole meal when I can only eat 1/4 cup. So I usually just only order a side.

Great job!!!! I usually order a side too but my hubby usually lets me have a bite or two of his steak or hamburger which really helps. Keep up the good work!!!

Way to stay strong SleeveShelly!

I have personally loved the cost savings we now enjoy going out to eat and food shopping. Leftovers last us for 2-3 additional meals!

You could have at least LICKED the prime rib, right? Would serve him right for putting you through that!
