What’s it like leaving so much food on your plate?

Obviously I’m new, not sleeved, but looking at these pictures is making me wonder if I could leave all that on my plate without being incredibly depressed or agitated

Thanks

Generally, no, not at all. I feel satisfied and full and have tasted enough of the food to satisfy the "head hunger" portion of eating.

Very occasionally I feel some, maybe disappointment?, that I'm not able to continue to eat. Usually if it is something uniquely delicious that isn't something I'll have again anytime soon. Or occasionally my favorite comfort foods, usually Pasta based, there is a twinge of sadness I can't just eat a big ol' bowl.

Overwhelmingly though, feeling fantastic, looking fantastic (in clothes at least), TOTALLY makes up for any twinge of regret about not being able to gorge myself.

Thanks for the candid reply.

I hope to someday join you and so many others in this success.

At 56 I’ve spent a lifetime battling my weight. (260 5’5 f. BMI 43. No comorbidity) Now I wonder if decades of GERD will hold me back as I hear it can get much much worse and I’m not a candidate for bypass or revision to bypass. Time will tell.

I wish you continued success .

Fine, because if it's something really good I know I can have it for my next meal as well.

It is a little sweet from the stevia but not much....it actually has a pleasant tea taste and the coconut milk is unsweetened vanilla and seems good in it. I usually avoid caffeine at night but if that is not an issue for you then give it a go. Lots of health benefits.

Post workout dinner. This is my go-to when I need a quick protein/fat and don't feel like making anything. Cottage cheese, sunflower seeda, and Turkey sausage. No leftovers.20190129_192704.jpeg

      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.
