Surgery day!

[cindi gant 101]

I had the sleeve 22 months ago. I attend support groups at least once a month, plus I see a psychologist, exercise and I have a large support system. I hope you can attend support groups. For me the support is key. I know I could not do this alone. I hope your husband will realize you will be healthier and probably happier. What is he afraid of? This is life changing. I can do things I could not do before. I wish you all the best.

this is how the pepperoni chips look

Those look tasty! @@pr_pitbullgrl

I cooked dinner for the family and decided to just eat what I ate. Worked for me and my sleeve agrees. 2 oz baked chicken thigh, steamed broccoli with some light shredded cheese and a half baked potato. It barely fit.

I can't seem to do solid meats yet. Well last time I tried anyways

I definitely have to shred it to teeny pieces and make it moist with a sauce, tonight it was a splash of Teriyaki sauce.

This will help me with my lunch dilemma when I go back to work if I can just take a small portion to freeze for a future lunch.< /p>

Protein cake with fat free cool whip and a smidge of cream cheese.

It was very good but a little dry. Little hard for me to eat or I'm still taking too big a bite

Send some my way. I will splash some skim milk on it or something!

Thanks!

Yes do cuz I just threw it up. But it tasted just like cake lol. I think I just ate too much of it. Well too much for me. Ugh

[thisfathasgot2go 235]

oooh no, i don't want to face the white porcelain goddess tonight. I will skip the sweetness.

Lol I'm pretty sure I eat too fast and take too big bites.

Yes, this is something that I am trying to do better with too. I am doing better chewing longer but I need to put the fork down in between bites to slow me down.

[pr_pitbullgrl 1,039]

I have no patience at all

[retrieverguy 411]

I tried the re fried Beans topped with fine chopped chicken, low fat cottage cheese, salsa (hot). Fantastic. I too have to take a bite and put the fork down on the plate. If I eat to fast I start to feel that burppy feeling and that means Mr. Sleeve is wanting me to stop. Thanks for sharing your dinner menus with me. Going to get some turkey pepperoni tonight.

Hunger pangs?. Why am I starting to feel hungry?. I mean it's fine as far as it only takes three bites of something to make it go away and I don't really have an appetite/cravings but...i wasn't expecting to feel hunger anymore.

Pit my doctor prescribed me medicine for stomach spasms because when my stomach was empty it was grinding on me. Problem solved
