While I was away we ate out everyday and I can honestly say I miss foooooood !!!! Everyone around me having big cheeseburgers and nachos the smell of onion rings made me crazy and delicious Desserts :( I chewed on grilled chicken even though I'm on purée stage it sucks I just wanted a bite of that cheeseburger I miss it :( I guess one day I can have a slider !!

I was so happy when we were on vacation that we were at a condo with a full kitchen. We only ate out twice I think. I went to the grocery store as soon as we got there and I stocked up on all of my VSG essentials! :) As an added bonus, the rest of my family ate healthier, we had more time for active stuff like extra swimming, and we spent a lot less money than eating out all of the time.

I know it is hard at this stage to watch others eat in front of you. I just came back from Disney World and saw my family eat steaks the size of my head in front of me, but I did not feel deprived.I had a few bites then I was full. I think once your body gets used to the good things you are putting in it, you will start to crave those foods instead of junk food. We have all walked the path that you are currently on and we know how you feel. If you need support come to the forum and let us give you suugestions or tell you we know how we are feeling and lift you up. You can do this!!!! We are on your side.

Ugh that's what I'm dreading also. I'll be going on vacation in 5 weeks and I'm a bit worried since ill be staying at a resort. Not much ability to cook your own food so will have to get creative.

I am in Ocean City MD right now and was getting a bit depressed. I am nine weeks out and I am ok to eat anything as tolerated. However, after a few bites I am full and everyone is eating sooo much it's sickening. I tried a little ice cream the other night and had a bad stomach ache. It is worth the new healthier me, but I think its normal to get a little down sometimes. Good luck to you all!

I can totally relate to the frustration and the depression part. It's hard going from your life revolving around food for everything to the exact opposite. And watching everyone else eat while you choke down grilled chicken, is depressing, at first. Then you sit back and realize that those habits were the habits that got you to the point of surgery. I became relieved when I recognized that at any other time in my life I would have fallen off my diet and would have stayed in those same fat jeans because food was more important then me. Now I know that I am more important then those fried onion rings. Hope that makes sense. If I crave something now, I take a bite of someone's greasiness, satisfy the urge, and go back to my healthy life that has gotten me close to onederland for the first time in 14 years. 10 weeks and 39 pounds so far feels better then any greasy food I have had! Good luck to you! Hang in there!

I'm in OC right now! We went to Bonfire buffet with family. I ate a little prime rib and potatoes! They were really nice and only charged me for a child. My 1 and 1/2 year old nephew ate more than me and it was free for him! Lol

      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.
