Awww, that sucks, but concentrate on the company and you'll get through it. That must be so hard.

you are doing terrific.- such restraint is most important and you are doing wonderful - and you are at the beginning, liquid phase WOW

this is so hard cuz you are just starting your sleeve, self control, not eating normally and in this case, watching others eat.

best wishes through your journey

Just remember that in a few months you will be able to go and eat with them and not feel like you have to clear your plate. This liquid phase is a killer but it will be over before we know it. When is your surgery?

CONGRATS! It is hard watching others eat our favorite foods. It will get better really soon. I promise you that!

I understand I had my surgery on the 28 and it is hard to watch others eat and I can't! I'm finally eating soft foods!

me again, just wanted to say at 6 months out i haven't gone out to a meal period. I'm a little scared

This Saturday night though i'm going to try and be brave and go to Red Lobster with DH. I love this restaurant - and i know it has many good choices.

I will take a lot of food home, and i will keep my mitts off those yummy rolls. they are so good

congrats on being good with your liquids only and no food at the restaurant- you shall overcome

BTW - what a good son you are taking mom out for her b'day

remember food is around the bend

continued good luck

I was sleeved last Thursday. That very Saturday night, a big group of us went out for a 4 hour meal with the Dr. I had a great time and ate nothing! Just a little broth. I was seated next to the Dr. and he had me smell everything, it was kind of funny. I had no desire to eat, but I have a really strong desire to go back to that restaurant when I can eat!

[knupe111 1]

Right.... I got sleeved on 28th and Its like food is no longer an issue but I do not like that I don't get hungry. Its like eating food is not important anymore!
