I remember months back I saw a fork with a timer on it on Amazon.com. It was simple... Just had like a 20 second timer for in between bites. Of course now that I'm interested I can't find the dang thing! I've seen the hapifork, but it's an expensive Bluetooth contraption... Anyone else ever heard or seen this? Thanks!

I remember the concept but the idea never took off because of the problem of registering the bites you actually take. It'd be a wonderful idea for us sleevers!

I just want to know, is it strange that I don't get full when I drink? I can drink a 16oz bottle of Water in 20 minutes and I'm not full at all. When I eat I just put very little on my plate because I know it should be a small portion. Does anyone else have that problem. I was looking at my op report and it didn't say how much he took off. I just want to feel full. I hope I'm not the only one that feels like this.

Ohhhh lawdy! You're NOT alone at all!!! I feel the exact same way. I even opened up a board about it yesterday. The bottom line as one member said, don't compare yourself to others because we're all different, and things will happen to us differently. You are absolutely OK! The board is called "Normal Consumption...?". Check it out, lots of good advice from fellow members regarding our feelings on the subject.

I got some nice appetizer spoons on a sale site (haven't yet found appetizer forks but I'm still on soft foods so use a spoon most of the time) and that has helped take smaller bites. I feel better using it than I would a toddler spoons and forks but some people use those.

      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.
