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.

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 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

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.

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

      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.
