Sometimes when life gets busy, I miss eating lazy... fast bigger bites. .

I drink shakes because I am in a hurry and can't take the time to eat right when running for the kids.

If there was a band that took away my desire for cupcakes...

Passed a group of people easting very lovely looking, huge bowls of chopped salad.... it looked great. I seem to miss being able to eat the quantiy of food I used to eat !

Also tuna sandwiches, steaks, even hot fries from fast foos establishments.....

But, I agree with previous poster who spoke about the benefits of being banded.... like....

actually being able to take a bath !!!! and not displacing so much Water

Having my pants falling off me !

Fitting in to smaller size clothes that I was hanging on to for "someday these/this will fit",

Having people choose to sit next to me on train/bus,

compliments,

not having to pee every 10 minutes(!)

all good, in balance.

I eat whatever I want as far as sweets, etc go.

The only thing I could honestly say I will miss eating is this delicious hot beef/mozzarella cheese/cream cheese/pepper sandwiches that this local shop makes. We only used to get them a couple times a year, but I wouldn't be able to handle the bread anymore. And fresh french bread :)

OMG...... That sounds sooooo good...lol

I was always a sweets girl. I love sweets. I can't really consume beads anymore. I get that stuck feeling. So I just stay away. Haven't bought a loaf since February! I miss cakes and pies.

Everyone always tells me, ”one bite won't kill you!” But they don't understand that leads to 42 bites... Lol

I had a bite of brownie today. Then had a half size grilled chicken salad for lunch. I have the tendency of feeling overwhelming guilt when I eat something I shouldn't. Like I'm letting someone down, but the only person I'm truly disappointing is myself.

My sweet tooth fix is actually frozen light cool whip. Takes away my sweet tooth and its got very little sugar and only 25 calories. Just a thought. :)

I like the comment about mourning warm/hot foods. I am sooo tired of eating cold meals, after everyone else is done. But you wanted to know what foods I mourn...at my stage, I can eat most anything, but I definitely steer away from steak. I miss a good filet mignon with shrooms.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
