Stub46, I know what you are going through. I have a house full of snack eaters here and I am maybe 4 weeks from having my surgery, don't have the date set yet. Everyone eats everything, and I have to tell myself I don't need something and walk away. not everyone totally understands but they are supportive. Tonight my son in law made stew, and I had 2 small bowls, about 1/2 cup each. I am sitting here feeling so hungry but don't know what to eat, may get a yogurt. I am finding that since I started changing my eating habits more, that the things I used to eat all time make me feel sick to my stomach. like we had pizza the other day, but after eating it, I felt really sick. steaks don't even taste good anymore. I can handle protein drinks, cottage cheese and yogurts
