Mine only get people food on very rare occasions. I was thinking today how it is funny that I am so very careful about what they eat so they don't gain weight, but I have had no problem shoveling bad food choices in to my mouth regardless of the weight gain!

For me, I think it has something to do with me having a caretaker personality. I always put everyone before myself, including my dogs apparently! Well no more! I am doing this surgery for me, and taking control of my life for once. It only took me 42 years to figure that out! [emoji2]

I certainly did not expect this, but keep the dog pics coming! I love it!

Okay you've already seen mine but here's some more since they're my pride and joy (and flipping cute)!

They are miniature pinscher twins we adopted at 6 weeks who have never been apart. Reese (black) and Rolo (tan).

It did help me. I struggle with measurements, and trying to eat Protein, veggie, starch at a meal. So 3 oz of chicken, pretty much eliminates everything else.

I feel the pressure in my chest so soon after I start eating, I don't believe I could be full. It only takes a bite or 2 more the start the unpleasantness. I'm learning though, and this seldom happens now.

Have you ever heard that the food is still in the top of the sleeve 2 hours after eating?

I took my dog to the vet for her vaccinations last fall. As we were leaving, my vet (please picture a tall, proper, grey haired Russian woman with a thick accent) stated to me, "you must be vigilant about winter weight gain." And as I looked up to respond to her, she continued, "also, for the dog."

Layla is my five year old mutt, four legged trash can. She's a German shepherd, lab and corgi mix and I adore her.

I have not heard of that, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. You might want to ask your doc about that.

This is very often the view if I am not sitting at the table or my desk to eat.

Okay, I looked, but didn't find anything. I am old, you know. What does TWIO mean?

      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.
