Look through my "Cheer Me Up" folder. It has the following in it:
Things To Do
- try on 4X clothes
- pull out 4X and lay current size next to them for comparison
- look at photos along the way
- look at measurement file
- take new measurements
- take new photos and compare to before surgery
Things That Have Changed Since Surgery
- I can tie my shoes without hiking my foot up on the bed or couch
- I can kayak
- I no longer need CPAP
- I no longer have diabetes
- I'm no longer morbidly obese

I've never been good at choosing. lol
Filet mignon (because I love red meat, always have and it's low fat and tender enough to go down and stay down).
and
Mock Danish (because it's so sweet and flavorful. Recipe on my profile.)

One of my friends was worried and I guess she didn't believe I was ok when I said so. She checked with another friend who had the surgery several years ago and she confirmed I was OK and even SHE had trouble with food now and again. My friend told me afterwards..OK, I won't worry anymore.
Other than that, I eat what I can and eat slowly so at least I don't finish 20 minutes before my friends do. Not many have said anything. But in a small town, everyone knows everything. lol Folks I don't know asked me how I'm feeling and how surgery was. That's unnerving.

I don't really deal with this much. I'm married. Everyone in my life that is close to me knows I had WLS, and they know I'm in control. I do have one friend *****cently said "do you feel like you don't have energy?" and I told her most of the time it's quite the opposite, since dropping nearly 160 lbs, I feel more energetic than ever... I'm not carrying around another person all day anymore!! lol

Pre-op 210lbs (6/18/2008) Maintaining Goal! 120lbs
I need to borrow Gary! LOL My hubby made a comment tonight when I was trying to cut pizza into slices that I just took out of the oven. He said "Here let me do it you dont have the muscles cuz you havent been eating very much the past couple months" When he says things I know its a joke, but i have mixed reactions from friends, My overweight friends are actually suprised at how much I eat, they seemed to think I would never eat agian! My skinny friends see what I eat and say I dont know why you did that to yourself! The person that really gets me is my grama, shes old fashioned and you show your love by giving food and you show your appriciation by eating it! Apparently for the past 4 months I have not been very appriciative!
I go on date nights with my hubby and its funny the cheaper the restaraunt the more I can eat... the more expensive I get full fast
When Im in front of other people if anything I think I might eat more depending on who Im with.

I started dating about a year ago, and didn't mention my surgery to anyone until I met Curt... on our third date, I told him about it because we spent the day at the beach and it was fairly obvious (spending the entire day together) that I wasn't eating like a "normal" person would. He told me that he had a friend that had WLS, so he'd suspected it anyway. He immediately made me feel comfortable about it.
As far as friends and relatives, no one's been too concerned about it - they all know that I eat what I have to to feel good... and I've done pretty well. Early out, my daughter would worry sometimes, but she calmed down after a few months.
Good luck with Gary - hope it works out as well as Curt and I!!

I've just started dating again after not dating for at least a dozen years. My friend knows all about my surgery, but the other day he made comments about how little I was eating and he was concerned as we were going out to play golf after lunch. I told him I'm a big girl and I eat when I'm hungry and not to worry.
My question is...what do you say to loved ones or dates that are concerned that you're going to drop from lack of food? Do you find that on a date you just don't eat much?
I'm finding I eat probably 1/2 of what I normally would and I'm full. I told Gary he's great for my diet!! LOL!!

On weekends, without the routine of work, I find myself grazing a lot. But on workdays, I'm really pretty much on a routine. I eat different foods now than I did a year ago, but pretty much the same routine....water before leaving the house, breakfast at work, water, then lunch, then water, then snack, then water, then home for dinner, then water, then evening snack, then water, then bed.
