What's Your Food Of Sin?



Recommended Posts

What's your sinful food? While i could say anything smothered in chocolate, i would be lyin. My sinful food is chips and queso from one of the local mexican restraunts. I havent had it since i was banded...for obvious reasons. But that doesnt stop me from dreaming about t and thinking about it. Its sooo bad for me i dont want to know the calories that are in it. I've contemplated trying after i can go to full solids but i changed my mind. If i keep the mentality that i cant have it i just wont go there or try to see if i cn eat it.. therefore staying out ofntrouble.. but one of my sinful foods that i cant give up is chocolate. So i have chosen moderation...i figure 3 hershys kisses on fridays only if i walk 7 miles for the week. Then gradually move up the mile marker ..... so whats yours?

chocolate. These days instead of having a big bad I try to eat either a small Freddo frog or a Curly Wurly. The Curly Wurly is pretty low cal but it takes a little while to chew and tends to satisfy the craving.

Mine are CHEETO"S that cruchy chese doodle they advertise on TV with the cartoon lion. I can't go to a convience without buying a small bag.

I like chips and Salsa, especially if you make your own, and the tortilla chips are 100% natural, it's not that bad for you.

It's one of the foods I eat while watching TV, especially OU FOOTBALL!

(I see you're from Norman)

Queso on the other hand,.....I stay away from.

B-52, you can eat tortilla chips without getting stuck? I thought chips might be in the same category as bread and would expand.

chips (crisps) tend to be a slider food. They are easy to eat a lot of, same as popcorn, crackers etc

Sadly...mine is fast food. I love it. On the a bad day, the one thing I want is greasy food! I have been using my last 5 weeks before the band, to kinda have a last meal, and they have all been pretty bad, so hopefully I won't crave them as much once I am banded. I will just think of how gross it was the last time I ate it! :)

I can't eat bread, doughy things, pizza crust, etc.

But I do not have a problem with chips or crackers.

Go figure. Chips are something I do not want in the house. Once I start it's hard to stop.

My sin is Red Vines, chips and Pepsi.

I can't bread, flour tortilla, hard boil eggs and some fruit. meat is hard for me on some days. I pretty much live off Target popcorn and pepsi. I eat whatever can stay down without problems. Chips and salsa I've notice is a slider food. The harder the chip the easier it is to go down. Anything soft gets stuck.

Mine is pizza! I could live without ever eating the crust, but the idea of never eating pizza again saddens me. Tomorrow I start on mushies so I am starting to get nervous about food getting stuck now. Up until now it has been all liquid so I havent had to worry!

Any crunchy chip! I limit myself by using a small ramekin to eat them from. I should not have them in the house, but hubby loves them, too!

Mine would have to be ice cream. And I mean, full on fat, creamy Ben & Jerry's or Starbucks.

I don't know if I have an evil food. My personasl demon however is anything that goes crunch (sweet or savory) and cake. Sooo I don't keep them in my house. I do however occationally go to Costco's on a Saturday and troll the free samples. They only give you a bite of each thing and it makes me feel like I'm not giving up fun foods for ever. For example last week they had pita chips with hummus; and the chip was only 1 inch square.

I don not have any food of sin. I can and do eat everything and my band keeps the quantity in moderation. That is one of the best things about having the band is I can eat some so-called bad food but not enough of it to affect my weight.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
