When you make your husband order the Desserts you want so you can live vicariously through him. Or when you make your husband order the meals you want because it doesn't make sense to order your own because you'll only eat a few bites

Really can it ever be possible that me, myself or I will only be able to eat only a few bites of anything let alone dessert??

I am learning to eat Protein and I watch the show " my 600 lb life ", I am paying very close attention to everything they do like what they eat on the 800 calorie diet and no snacking at all. Only three meals a day and that's it.I know it's gonna be a long journey but I have to do this. I'm 4'11" and I weighed 238, I have gotten down to 210 and I just started buying some chicken drumsticks that I can prepare by baking. I usually only eat white meat but it gets too dry for me to eat .I'm still pre op I have gotten all the tests done I only have three more nutritionist classes, may last one is in March, so my surgery will probably be in April or May. I can't wait til I can actually eat something and feel full instead of my crazy overeating of everything. I am a work in progress.

It's amazing how little satisfies you. I am in amazement.

...when there are his and hers shelves in the fridge.

...when you went too far stocking up on Protein puddings before surgery and just can't seem to make a dent in the pile.

...when your physical therapist is laughing out loud at the sagging butt of your jeggings.

When you can shop the perimeter of the grocery store like it's an art form.
I rarely go down the inner aisles on a regular basis unless it is for specific items (spices, toilet paper, etc). I haven't seen a Cereal, cracker, cookie, or bread aisle since pre-op.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
