Hard to explain but I understand, eating can be a social sharing experience in a way I think. Even family has kind of been weirded out I guess by the little I eat. I see it different than being bothered by what I eat. People would love me to eat a vegetarian or even vegan dish, they just want me to eat. Ha - .

Why would someone worry about what you are eating? Even when I was the sole vegetarian in a group of carnivores it's never been an issue.

Eat out right now because I can get killer broth style Soups at Thai, Japanese, Mexican restaurant. I just feed the solid stuff to my mom or GF. And have enough broth for days!

@ - I understand the socializing over food, but I don't get the policing other people's food choices. All I need is good food and good friends to have a good time.

@storytotell. Totally agree with you here. Maybe things will change for me in the future, but my capacity is so small, yes, I'm thankful, I have zero desire to take the time to sit in a restaurant. I will confess that I also prefer to eat in private. Yes, people do look at what others eat and comment on it. At this time eating for me is not a joyous event. I eat for nutrition and I'm done.

Fortunately the people I call my friends don't do that and anyone else doesn't matter to me. Perhaps I have just reached the age where I don't care what others think. I enjoy being with my friends socializing, occasionally that does include going out to eat. I've been out to restaurants 4 times since being sleeved and never once felt uncomfortable. I still enjoy eating, just in smaller portions.
