So hard! :(

Hate watching my children eat things I cant eat! It's so tempting, and they try to not eat in front of me but I can still smell it! I'll stay strong, this can't beat me!!

I've been cooking for my family almost every day since returning from the hospital 8 days ago. I even sit at the table with them while they eat. I drink Water or Protein and we chat. I have to say that while it's not easy, they feel like our family dynamic is the same.

Eventually I'll be able eat some of what they're eating. For now I think of it as a small sacrifice for a healthier me.

Hang in there. It will get better.

We have dinner together every night at the dinner table. I'm post op 9 days. My family eats one thing while I eat a Soup lol. It's soooo hard. I feel your pain.

I'm just curious how has your hunger level been since surgery. I think about that now and wonder how I am going to make it through not eating real food for a while.

Your hunger level goes way down or atlesst mine did . I usually have something every 3-4 hours Protein mostly I'm 1 month out so I've started real food again I just need to ear slower ,,, retrain myself .. And not drink to soon after :/ but it's starting to get more normal already .... Fingers crossed ... Things keep going well

After my surgery I wasn't hungry at all, it wasn't till like 2 months after when I started eating food! I did small amounts cus that's all my stomach fit but little by little I started feeling hungry. I would serve my self small amounts but I would pinch here and there! That's why I'm scared I stretched my stomach pouch! Right now I'm working on exercising and eating better!

When I had the surgery everything was great! I wasn't hungry at all! At about 2 months after my surgery I started to eat food little by little, I wouldn't even eat much, u do get full very fast! But with time I wouldn't notice but i would pinch here and there and I was eating more then I should! It wasn't till I noticed that I wasn't losing weight, I wasn't gaining but I wasn't losing, Ur body gets use to eating so fast, u really need to be strict with urself! Thats what I'm doing now, its very very hard but I just don't want to go back to how i was!
