after surgery how awful it looks when others take big bites?

I am 11 weeks out and I am really getting used to my small amounts on my plate, and small bites. I am really becoming repulsed by how much food others put in their mouths. I was the "eat a meal in 3 bites" and finished in3 minutes person, why is this wiggling me out? Anyone else notice this?

Yes. I was watching my hubbie eat yesterday and I was just astounded at how much food was on his plate and how much he put in his mouth at once. I take very tiny bites and chew, chew, chew! I had surgery 4 weeks ago.

Hehehe,I started putting less and less food on my kids plates,until they reminded me thry have normal stomachs and I dont! I really worried that they would gain weight if they ate that much.

But in 10 months since I've been sleeved my 20 year old hasnt gained anything and my 11 year old gained 3 pounds,quite normal dont you think?

Now,I remind myself to back off.I am not normal anymore and they are!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
