SleeveShelly 75 Posted October 22, 2012 This past weekend my husband wanted to go eat at a very tummy steakhouse. I went with him and ordered cottage cheese while he ate prime rib. 7 Ms skinniness, sunsetblvd68, BlueOctoberGirl and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted October 22, 2012 Hi Sleeveshelly. When was your surgery and how much have you lost? I like that you were able to have cottage cheese while he was having prime rib..... I was in the early phases and was only able to have liquids and I went to a restaurant with my family and was so looking forward to a vegetable beef Soup from this restaurant. Got there and they didn't make it for that day. I ended up having just au jus. I was so disappointed and had to watch my family eat their meals...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyan700 1 Posted October 22, 2012 Oh wow Shelly that's a rough one!! Are you sleeved already or are you doing the pre-op; diet? Sometimes our families aren't as supportive as we want or need, just remember though that your VST family is here for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveDreamer 383 Posted October 22, 2012 Proud of you! I know what you mean. When I was on a liquid preop we had company and went to this great restaurant and everyone had all these appetizers and great meals, and I had butternut squash Soup and took my sugar-free Jello and RTD Protein Drink with with me! Told the waiter I was having surgery and on a liquid diet and he actually bent over backwards to see if he could find something exciting for me to drink! Don't worry your time will come. Just do what you are supposed to do and your time will be here before you know it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveShelly 75 Posted October 22, 2012 I was sleeved on 9/12. I have lost 34 lbs. I can eat anything that I can tolerate, staying away from sugar and carbs. I don't like to pay for a whole meal when I can only eat 1/4 cup. So I usually just only order a side. 1 TamaraS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually order a side too but my hubby usually lets me have a bite or two of his steak or hamburger which really helps. Keep up the good work!!! 1 Livinglifeout reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AliveAgain 283 Posted October 22, 2012 Way to stay strong SleeveShelly! I have personally loved the cost savings we now enjoy going out to eat and food shopping. Leftovers last us for 2-3 additional meals! 1 COnative reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArcusX 216 Posted October 22, 2012 You could have at least LICKED the prime rib, right? Would serve him right for putting you through that! 2 ElaineB and COnative reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
