My wife and I was both sleeved in May of 2013! Its funny how now we realize everything we did revolved around food! Family get togethers cookouts nights out with friends just about everything! It's a bit depressing sometimes watching everyone eat but it's all good we're losing weight and that's what we wanted! We went grocery shopping yesterday and we really read labels and count fat grams and calories etc. I can't believe the junk we used to eat! I'm trying to learn eat to live not live to eat!

I just came from the grocery store. I'm still on full liquids so had cottage cheese, SF popsicles, chicken broth, refried beans and yogurt in my cart.

The guy behind me was unloading his cart full of non-diet pop, processed meats, chips, etc... Granted he was probably having a cook-out but now that I'm in this mind-set it just all looked kinda gross. I do plan on participating in BBQ's etc... again but hope to make better food choices:)

Since we can only put so much food in our pouch, why not choose the healthiest and tastiest options? Wow, there are some really delicious recipes out there that are both nutritious and low carb/fat, etc. I'm going to still have cookouts, I'll just cook the "heavy fillers" for the guest and make sure I put in a couple of "healthy gourmet dishes" for us body conscious peeps. No need to suffer in our journey.
