...people try to urge you to eat as much as them, which makes you feel uncomfortable, lol.

...people look at you weirdly when you order only a side of mashed potatoes for dinner at a restaurant.

When everyone you know gives you blankets, snuggies, gloves, beanies, scarves and fuzzy socks for Christmas!

I am a school bus driver and though it rarely gets super cold here, the definition of super cold has changed a lot.

My mom is so thoughtful. I got a recipe tin from her for my new WLS friendly recipes.

When your Mom asks you what food you enjoyed most on Christmas and you tell her you no longer enjoy eating food. It is a chore. [emoji1304]

When your in laws have no clue of your real size. My father in law is 5'5" and 138, he wears 31" jeans. I wear 32's and I'm fairly certain that I could do his 31s. They bought me XL lounge pants that are literally 4 inches from my nipples. If i don't wear them this high im pretty sure that a gang member will think that I'm doing an initiation because the crotch goes to my knees. On the postive side I can unbutton the fly and reach DOWN to clean out any offending bellybutton lint. I'm fairly sure that they would have bought a size small or medium for him.

Is this video on YouTube? If so what can I search for? This app isn't letting me view it.

Thanks :-)

Em ... do a search of all I want for Christmas is food.... cute girl (not me) with dark hair will be one of the options. I posted it as a joke because of being surrounded by Holiday food and to be honest .... sometimes that is what I want to give into. Not everyone appreciated it .... my bad.

When you become a connoisseur of cold food that started out warm...

This could be cross posted in you might be a new parent when...lol

When my baby was an infant, I said warm food was overrated. Lol. I had 35 years of warm food before she was born.

      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.
