My wife and I was both sleeved in May of 2013! Its funny how now we realize everything we did revolved around food! Family get togethers cookouts nights out with friends just about everything! It's a bit depressing sometimes watching everyone eat but it's all good we're losing weight and that's what we wanted! We went grocery shopping yesterday and we really read labels and count fat grams and calories etc. I can't believe the junk we used to eat! I'm trying to learn eat to live not live to eat!

I just came from the grocery store. I'm still on full liquids so had cottage cheese, SF popsicles, chicken broth, refried Beans and yogurt in my cart.

The guy behind me was unloading his cart full of non-diet pop, processed meats, chips, etc... Granted he was probably having a cook-out but now that I'm in this mind-set it just all looked kinda gross. I do plan on participating in BBQ's etc... again but hope to make better food choices:)

Since we can only put so much food in our pouch, why not choose the healthiest and tastiest options? Wow, there are some really delicious recipes out there that are both nutritious and low carb/fat, etc. I'm going to still have cookouts, I'll just cook the "heavy fillers" for the guest and make sure I put in a couple of "healthy gourmet dishes" for us body conscious peeps. No need to suffer in our journey.

      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.
