When you are done are you done? And another thing....



Recommended Posts

When you finish your meal do you need it taken away? I can not stomach seeing the rest of my food on my plate, I have to have it boxed or taken away.

Another thing I noticed is that I am a lot more sensitive to smells food wise. Are you?

When I am physically finished, the food needs to go away because if it doesn't I will eat more. it doesn't matter that I am full, mentally I will look at it and say I can't waste it or just one more bite won't hurt--and that last bite will cause me pain and pb'ing if I don't watch it. Even my husband gets grossed out because I'll have to run to the sink and put it down the disposal before I touch it again! it's purely mental.

Yes, I've noticed that my sense of smell seems more acute since being banded.

When we eat out, I just take some of my husband's meal onto another plate and I only take my 1 cup. When we eat at home, I'm careful to dish out only what I can have so there are no 'leftovers' on my plate. I don't have a problem with not eating everything on my plate, but I do have a problem with 'picking' at what's left even if I'm full.

I've always had an exceptional sense of smell and I haven't noticed that it has been any more so.

Elfiepoo, I wish my husband would do that. He eats his and the rest of mine and he seems as if he has gotten a little rounder as I have slimmed down.

Maybe you could ask for a take out box when you get your meal and just immediately put most of it in the box for another meal?

At most restaurants you can ask for half of your meal to be boxed up before it's served. I do this automatically when I order the food.< /p>

I usually cover my plate with my napkin when I am finished; otherwise I will constantly pick at my food. I will have to try having half of my dish boxed while I order - great idea!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
