What is your food weakness, (demise)?



Recommended Posts

Symphony Milk chocolate Bars...Wal Mart puts them on sale 4 1/2 pounder sizes for $5.00...Bad News! Anything Ben And Jerry's and those are eaten in sets of 2! Kraft macaroni and cheese and Stouffers French bread pizza. There is soooooooo much more but that's enough for now. Ya think I have an ISSUE with food or what ?

I try not to punish myself about eating/drinking anything, if in moderation.

Eventually you realize that in Weight Loss Surgery there is no black or white, good or bad - it's all individual. If we want to eat some things, we might have to cut back on others. It's not about 'danger' foods to me.

Since I've been banded I realized something.

And this is to answer Telly's original question about weight loss as you get closer to goal.

My favourite food groups are now: Seafood, Cheese, Fruit and Wine. :hungry: (Maybe not exactly in that order. :) )

Deep down I honestly eat like a chic Parisian woman :) . Who knew? (Only now, I don't eat the croissants, all that doughy bread is just no longer on my menu, at this level of restriction.)

And now that I've lost weight, I can dress more like a fashionable French woman, too. Works for me!

J'aviais l'habitude de vivre pour manger, maintenant juste je mange pour vivre.

(Roughly translated: I used to live to eat, now I just eat to live.)

you see after the band I now take a cup of ice cream with milk. Seem to this while watching TV and regular like...I have managed to stop the last couple weeks. I have high hopes but CSI MIAMI gets me most of the time....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
