I'm thrilled, and a question

That is so funny to read. I know someone that does that. She is VERY slim. When she is done, she doesn't want to keep eating a bite here and there, so she makes it nasty. lol

I liked that idea a lot also!

Hey - at a buffet - there is no "cost of wasted food" cause it's the same price no matter what you eat.

If you go to a restaurant and can't order a small portion and you don't want to take it as leftovers - you just get used to it over time.... some food is going to be thrown away.

As a dieting ploy in years gone by - I used to struggle to force myself to leave at least one bite on the plate....

Now, I just get over the fact that sometimes I leave half a plate behind.

It's only money. It can't compare to the value on my health.

:]

Hey, we can learn a thing or two from some of our slim friends. I realized just recently that I now eat just like my petite friend, Terry. She always takes tiny bites and small portions. She's a bit of a gourmet, in that she won't eat unless it's something "worth" eating, but on the other hand, she never deprives herself of something that she really wants. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have those tendencies *without* having surgery?

      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.
