sugar free fat free pudding is my go to. It kills the urge to eat anything else sweet. I make it with Protein Powder added so it's a great snack. I made chocolate butterscotch cups all measured out at 1/2 cup . Only 115 calories 10 Protein.

I'm the same way . Picky eater and the unhealthy tastes better. I'm now 3 weeks post OP and I am enjoying trying new things now ,new flavors really , cause not everything I once loved agrees with me. Cauli mash is wonderful..who'd of thought.

I should add just start small with changes. New spices, taking healthier choices and cooking with "comfort" spices and go from there. Make small changes and just go from there. Don't try to change everything at once! I still don't eat any fish... yuck.

Well I went yesterday for my last pre-op/peri-op exam. One of the worst facets was since it was on a mezzanine level, my son convinced me "COME ON Mom , You Can MAKE IT! Oh Yeah, Oh Yeah, I'm going up step by step gasping,and wheezing, as we turned to ascend set # 2 after pausing a moment on the landing, I said " At,least if I fall backwards down these steps they will know to fix my busted hips!" Memo to self, don't seek advice from son half your age! But eventually me and my 2 artificial knees, and broke-down lungs made it to the right area. And what not to see a 13 pound loss from my last weighing the first of the month. Stop your giggling all you young chicks that drop weight like Water off a ducks back, this poor old hen don't drop,pounfs that quick and All I could do to keep from fist- bumping someone. And I hope someone can explain why my no was lower after tackling those stairs? But it was fine, so was temp, pulse ox and my breathing rate was Sam as always, 16. Then I met with a nurse practioner, internal medicine specialust who went through a checklist from Hades, only think she didn't ask was how often I prepared and how much. Seemed like we had covered this several times before# Then she asked if I would promise to not get sick in the next,week and a half, duhh! I sure am not going to,look fuf,Ipeople up just to,be with,them? Then shook my hand and off I went to have a chest X Ray, quickest one I ever had, 1 front view, 1 from the left, last stop the lab, funny I didn't know I had too much blood? Must have, because I swear they took a half- pint. CBC, Ekectrolytes, Bun , Creatinine, Clotting time the whole works. Then she proceeded to tell me she had to type my blood, A rhNegative, didn't believe me or the American Red Cross, well okaybee. Then I am presented a large legal sized red envelope containing a special green wrist band, this I'd my Golden Envelope to surgery, if I don't bring it with me on Surgery Day NO OPERATION! This precious object is going in the 🔥 Safe when I get home! But I guess I checked out finer than Frog hair. Because I am set to go! 6 of 7 sheets all saying RnY Bypass September 5th 7 AM, is,my future Slicing and Dicing is quite Official. And I got special dispensation regarding the Dang- blasted Hibiclens,i may use Dial Gold Antibacterial liquid, I Just have to leave it on my skin a solid 5 minutes after soaping up. And instead of night before and in the,morning I do do mid-day the 4th and just before I go to bed that night. This is because I will have to leave Mount Vernon at 3:30AM to make it to OSU by 5 AM because of overnight freeway closures,check in then for 7 AM surgery on the 5th. So I am now slowly put things in my bag, got a couple pair soft slacks and shorts for under my gown for walking, slippers, a robe, gasX, Biotene, slippers, Brush,comb, denture cup, glasses case , denture adhesive, small noebook and penis I can journal this, the rest can go in later. And maybe, just maybe, after 3 years of sortow, diappointments and roadblocks, my Dream finally Comes True. I Receive my Surgery, things will change for the Better and Joy Lies Ahead!😛💦😛😷

Carrying Protein powder -on the go pre measured .. made me think of a baby formula dispenser. My sister has one and its pre measured to just open and dump into Water. Spout fits into the bottle top for no spills. I wonder if this would be good for protein powders? ?

I am way off from my surgery date... but I am a planner...
This information everyone has provided is WONDERFUL!! this is a long process and this site has answered 99% of my questions/curiosities!
Thanks to everyone!!

I understand this feeling. Hopefully it's just a rut and nothing more. Being married for so long. ...just creates ruts. You have to work to get past them. Speaking to a therapist may not be a bad idea.

I'm new to the forum, so hello to all. What I'm experiencing in the lead up to the surgery is a distancing from my husband. He's on board for the surgery now, but he's being clingy and everything he does annoys me, and I can't handle it anymore. I'm finding I'm more and more unhappy in my marriage, and fantasizing about going this alone. Is this something normal or am I experiencing something I should talk to a therapist about?
