When you really want to order a full meal at dinner, but feel bad about wasting food so you start trying to pawn your fries/rice/etc off on your friends and family. Really bad habit. :cursing:

Or when you split a meal with someone and end up giving them more than 1/2 of your 1/2 back. (my mom hates it when I do that)

... when people (my sisters do this all the time) tease saying "Don't let Heidi smell it, she'll get full on just one whiff!"

When you go out to eat with a big group of friends, order a quesidilla to split, give 2 pieces to your 95 lb friend and keep 2 to yourself, she wolfs hers down in 5 mins then gives you a strange look when you are full off two bites.

When you can sit comfortably in a booth instead of asking for a table at restaurants.

When you can now cross your legs above the knee

You scream for all your family members to come upstairs so they can come see the number on the scale while you're still standing on it.

      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.
