Recommended Posts

UGGGG...:) Its a good thing there is nothing bad to eat in my house....all I can find to brainlessly munch is Pickle Juice, Protein bars:eek:, & sf pudding:mad0: Oh yea tums i guess i could munch on tums:drool:. I soooo want ice cream and candy bars....GRRRRR:drool5:. Its 11:00 watching Big Brother on dvr and wanting to munch.....

OK this too shall pass.....I know there are things that I can munch on its just that they aren't here now. Even if they were, they aren't what I want.

Feeling better now, I guess I just needed to write my feelings down..Thanks for listening to my scattered thoughts....

That head hunger is such a buggar, isn't it??? It's is by chance time for your cycle? I have that issue every month and it is so hard to ignore.

Just keep those good foods close by & do your best to stay on plan. If you fall off, just remember that you have control of the next bite. It's no longer all-or-nothing like it was pre-surgery. You can do this!

Yes it is that time of the month. I didn't even put 2 & 2 together. I guess that explains the ravenous cravings.

I just discovered flavored & roasted almonds online at drugstore.com. I'm sure other online locations sell them but I use drugstore because they deliver to APO addresses. Wasabi, Toffee, salt&vinegar!! I can't wait to eat these (it's my TOTM too).

I have the SAME issue when it's my time, too. It's the only time I want to eat everything in sight. Thankfully, there isn't much crap in the house and I couldn't eat more than a few bites, anyway.

Globetrotter, we have the same nuts at the commissary and they're awesome. I have four different tins of them sitting on the shelf, and when I feel the urge to snack mindlessly three or four nuts make the urge go away. It's a great idea.

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
