I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on October 6th (started the process on March 1st, 2015.) I'd love to have a "surgery buddy" who is having the procedure the same day or very close to the date. Anyone interested?

Catlynk Congratulations! That is such a wonderful accomplishment! Enjoy.

Thanks!

Tomorrow I will be eleven weeks post op. And through these weeks I've gone from being hungry every two hours and worried that I was over eating to not having an appetite or hunger pains at all. Only when I start to feel weak and shaky do I realize, I need to eat something. The problem lies in nothing sounds appealing.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Yes that discribes me exactly. I have zero hunger now and I love it.

I have no hunger and little interest in food now.

I feel like a horrible mom because I can't even get motivated to cook for my teenage kids. And they still have teenage appetites. *sigh*

Edited to add: I literally feel like I am just eating to get my protein goals. Most days once I hit my goal, my first thought is "thank god I don't have to eat any more today" It's a relief more than anything. It's a loooooong way from presurgery thinking. Lol

Making a sleeve friendly frittata for Christmas breakfast- package of frozen chopped spinach (thaw and squeeze out excess moisture) Spread in a 9x13 pan that was sprayed with Pam. Beat 6 eggs, add a 1/2 c of parmesan and 1/2 c of low fat cheddar. Pour over spinach. Add some pepper to the top. Cook in 325 oven for 15 minutes. Pull out of oven and immediately top with additional cheese.

Today I get to start eating cheese so it will make a wonderful Christmas breakfast.

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and a fantastic Christmas!

Sounds great. I am going to try it. Thanks for sharing. I hope everyone has a great Christmas too.
