Any savoury / crispy stuff for me. After that will be noodles. But basically I eat too much. I used to eat 3 meals, 2 Snacks plus supper before the band.:Banane56:

Freshly baked breads ... any kind... with butter, of course! LOL. It's over a month now since I have had any bread and I'm just starting week 2 of 3 of soft foods.

Mexican and German food. How's that for a heck of a combination. My favorite German food are potato balls, Klaasa(I cant spell it) They are very Gummy textured, so I know that after I get the band, that would be a major PB.

Other than that...Ice cream. But I do like the Edy's fat free, no sugar added chocolate.< /p>

I go through phases of the things I can't live without. Currently it is a Justaburger with cheese from Whataburger. It takes me like an hour to eat that thing, but I have to have it. My last phase was popcorn with actual melted butter poured over, I would eat this every night for dinner. Who knows what my next phase will be, I'm hoping for lettuce or cucumbers plain...I some how doubt that one though!

LMAO, this is too funny. It's almost like those foods are calling us...some sort of evil plan to take over our world.

I am bad with salty crunchy things like doritos, chips, and Mcdonald's fries. I particulary love really bad things like KFC snackers and bonless buffalo wings. I have only indulged in fast food three times since surgery two months ago (less than once every two weeks!!!), which is down from 3-4 riimes a week before surgery. And those times I ate really small amounts. But definitely salty/crunchy over sweet for me.

I've got to stop coming back to this thread - I'm getting cravings that I've never had or have forgotten about. Grrrrr! I'm being a good girl and eating my Nutrisystem lunch right now, but.....I WANT pizza and Blue Bell Cookies 'n Cream! I hadn't thought about Blue Bell in years. I grew up in Houston, but have lived in San Diego for the last 20 years and they don't carry it in our grocery stores. Oh, but I love it!

Yep, they're calling me....PIZZA, BLUE BELL, FRENCH FRIES, chocolate.

OK, that's it - I'm not coming back here again. Bye!

      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!

      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.
