Bag of Cheetos & a Can of Dr. Pepper OMGoodness!!



Recommended Posts

okay, so I cheated...but the ole doc said I could eat anything and drink anything and it was my choice...so today I choose to eat a lunch size bag of puffy cheetos and one of those 8 oz dr. peppers (still working on it)...and I think it is the best day of my life since Dec 3rd!

The chips weren't a problem, but that Dr. Pepper although good does feel funny...bubbly I guess...

Tonight I shall go back to my Protein and Water....*weeps* lol...

Just to let you know cheesy poofs are my sleeve's crack addiction. Seriously, I can eat those like a champ. . . I have some every few days so I don't binge on them and eat an entire bag.

I shall only buy the snack size lunchable type bags! Is it just me or did they change the size of the actually puff? They are sooo FAT...I like the skinnier puffs better!

More and more I am learning that there is not really anything that is poisonous for me, as long as moderation is kept in mind. chocolate and Chex-mix are my Siren's call. But a little bit is ok...it really is. I choose not to have many things, like soda, but that is becasue it now tastes awful to me. Moderation...a good mantra.:)

You should try the baked ones... they are pretty legit as far as cheese poofs go. They have some good ones at Fresh and Easy Market, and at places like Trader Joe's and WholeFoods. Maybe that way you can still have them, cut the fat and the calories. Love it! :cursing:

I buy the generic brand because I can't stand the Cheetos brand of the cheesy poofs.

You wanna know what's really gross? I like leaving the bag open and letting them get stale. It's a weird pregnancy thing I did back when I was pregnant with Caysen. He gets so mad when he realizes the entire bag is stale.

I always have to leave the bread off stuff...and regular chips and fries fill my tummy FAST! Fast means I'm not satisfied. I think my all time favorite so far is cajun spiced grilled fresh caught catfish with onions and bell peppers...the week I lost the most weight I ate grilled fish for all main meals the whole week...tonite I skipped food and went with my water...I have about decided to eat when my body says eat and drink when it says drink! That is what skinny people do, right?

I think we are still who we are. Even skinny people like cheetos and a Dr. Pepper or something similar. ENJOY IT. I mean, of course if we live like that then we will not be eating nutritiously. Today I had a bitch of a day at work and I didn't take the time to eat right. Tonight we went to dinner and I still couldn't get much down, but it was better. I hate missing meals with this sleeve.

      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.
