Yes we did everything yesterday too and it was such a struggle not eating anything. I had about 1oz of very soft meat basically puréed with salsa to help moisten it and got very full. I ate that twice and was full. I have so many leftovers today it’s ridiculous. So much was food was already taken. Hoping my husband and kids eat through the food quickly.

Agreed he is probably scared you will change and not be attracted to him. Your still the same person just changing the wrapping paper. You did this for you to be heathly, stay to the plan that you have worked so hard to get to. Just as your adjusting and learning in your new life style, he needs to adjust too. Good luck and Merry Christmas

Disclaimer: I am in the industry . So yesterday/Christmas day at a family party I had some wine. I just filled 1/4 of a glass, and then added the same amount of water. Note: that is how the Roman senate drank their wine, so they would not get drunk (as the alcohol killed the various microbes in the water). This while virtually everyone else was drunk on wine or beer, as there was very little pathogen free water in the cities. so anyway, I sipped that amount of wine in that social environment over aprox an hour, holding it primarily in my mouth, to absorb the effects of the alcohol. An hour or so later I did it again. So over a two hour period I had basically a half a glass of wine, and quite frankly it was little more than mildly intoxicating, with no adverse affect at all. I AM NOT advocating drinking alcohol. I am however not so naive to think that people are going to obstain completely. Just be smart and quite frankly, you don't need to get drunk in life, to enjoy life

Like you mentioned it like 2oz meat by weight and 1oz veggies depending on the types of food it does take a lil less thanks for sharing yours I thought maybe there was something wrong with me now I don't feel so alone Sent from my SM-J260A using BariatricPal mobile app

Look in the sidebar for a thread calling out all January 2020 sleevers. You will get your "whole January class" of WLS partners that way! It's fun to get and give support to each other especially in those early days!

No idea what to advise. Did you have WLS ? When , what, .......?

Yes I have been taking them for years. Continued with them last year with my sleeve and now with my bypass as well.
