I got sleeved on Tuesday. I've been doing really well, eating broth & Jello. Haven't been hungry at all. I was getting low on food & went to the grocery store today. MISTAKE!

I left there hungry after smelling all the good food.

Home again, & not hungry now, but I'll be having the wife do the shopping from now on.

I didnt get that.. I went to the store the day I was released from the hospital.. all I could think of was ew. just wanted to go home.

I'm scared about this part as I have boys who need to eat...and boy do they eat, but I don't have anyone to go the store for me!

In went today to the grocery store for the first time since surgery.... HOLY CRAP!!! I stood in the bread aisle and just inhaled! Definitely harder than I expected it to be. But... That's how it's going to be... I need to adjust...

I have started walking the perimeter. I eat so lite my love of cookings has decreased. I find myself at the hot food area buying a few things to make it through the week. My hubby is not overweight and I think he does not mind and has been eating less crap also.

I am 6 weeks out and I find no love there like I used too. . Depressing but I am ok with it now

I think I'll be able to handle it a bit more when I'm off of the liquid only part of this...

I am three days out and needed to get out if the house today and also needed to walk. I was totally fine. In fact, I walked down every aisle to get some walking time in. Lol.

Forget the grocery store! stay out of Costco!

"Sample" lunch and don't know how to track it in my calorie counter 0_o

Oh yeah I'm 4 months out don't try this at home

The liquid only phases were the hardest!

I didn't go grocery shopping until I was on purée foods.

I am 4 days post op and just left SAMs today very hungry and wondering if I can do this. I am still on Clear liquids and just want to chew something. Looking forward to blenderizing food next week. I'm down 11 lbs and that keeps me going. But I agree with you " stay away from super stores"!!!!!

When you are able to purée foods don't be scared of doing puréed meat.. I thought I could get by without doing it before surgery.. But I was so hungry I "gave in" and it was filling and comforting...

Purées I did.

chicken and gravy

Turkey meatloaf and gravy and a little watered down instant potatoes

I saw someone say turkey meatballs with marinara sauce too

The chicken and gravy with a little mashed potatoes soothed my stomach.

I don't mind shopping for food or cooking. I did a couple of low and slow smoked / bbq lamb shoulders last weekend.

Once you learn to recognise head hunger I find it dies a slow death. If I get head hunger now I recognise it for what it is and can deal with it (ie have a drink, remove myself from a situation, actually say out loud 'that XXX looks great, but I'm not hungry' etc)

I don't want to avoid food, because it's not something I can do ongoing.

We're getting the first costco in the state, opening not far from here soon. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the stuff that you guys talk about.

Deano

Perhaps we shouldn't be talking about food to a bunch of people that are still on liquids!

Talk about cruel

But my lamb is so soft and juicy and falling off the bone.

Oh, right.

Sorry.

Haha I have def had a Costco sample lunch where I got home to make dinner and I was completely full. They should have an estimated number for that
