Had a few leftover vegetables to use up before they went to God (or the bin) so decided to make a 4 egg omelette. Celery, capsicum, tomatoes & cheese. It split when I was flipping it so looks a bit messy. Had half for lunch yesterday & will have the other half tonight.

Mr. felt for French Toast so we went to one of our fave coffee places for Breakfast (at like 8am! which is weird cuz we don't eat breakfast lol)

I ordered a Shrimp Cake Benny and had like half of one and a bite or two of the potatoes and salad: calculated 322 cals for what i ate.

He got his french toast (see the bottom pic), and ate it all plus my leftovers. I am honestly amazed at how much the guy can eat and remain normal sized 😳

...also!

Interesting eating strategy i discovered:

For those who have challenges with slowing down their eating, eat with your non-dominant hand!

I am nursing an injured arm (its in a sling), and i have to eat with my left hand (im right handed). And man does it ever slow things way down. I probably also ate less than i normally would cuz i think i just got tired of the process.

I'm always surprised how little some of you people seem to eat. Like one of my meals is more than others are eating in a day??

😕

well, i DO eat "little" at one time/sitting, but i eat these little meals like 5-6 times a day so i figure it all adds up?

its not that im trying to eat less, i just get full quickly. and i HATE the feeling of being full (its very physically uncomfortable for me...)

Yeah, I stopped looking at this thread because I always feel like I am eating way too much seeing how little some people eat before feeling full. But then I compare what I eat to what other non-surgically enhanced people eat and i think ok I don't eat that much really

      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.
