Flame Free Friday Confessions!

Eating and drinking at the same time? Fill up on sliders for dinner? Have an adult beverage too many or too soon? WHO CARES?! Got a confession that's not sleeve related? That's OK, feel free to confess it!

This is your place to confess without fear of judgement or flaming, so let's see what you've got!

I'll start us off... I am NOT a morning person and require at least two hours awake before I can be considered fully functional. Every morning when I get to work (8AM) I spend at least an hour screwing around on the interwebs and checking email before I even *think* about working

    I've allowed Dr. Pepper back in my life and I have no idea how I'm going to evict it. :/

  • I don't have a sleeve confesion b/c I'm not sleeved until the end of the month. But when I had my lapband I certainly knew ways I could "eat around the band" if I wanted to. So a non-sleeve confessi

I cook for myself and my family, 2 different meals, and I always taste the meal for my family. Most of the time I am trying to check if its too salty, I can't seem to cook without tasting. This week I made some Pasta salad for the family and I had 2 table spoons >.<, and everytime Id open the fridge I would get 1 piece of pasta.

I also drink a few sips with my meal, I am afraid that I might have swallowed without chewing well enough and that the food will get stuck in my tummy, especially when I eat chicken or pork.

In order to break my stall I am going extremely low on calories. Sometimes only 200-300 a day. Totally not healthy and I can't keep doing this, but something got to give.

Actually, increasing your calories might work a little better. Seems contrary, but it's true.

That's not a flame is it?

I LOVE Cheetos!!! I'll skip a meal to have Cheetos!!! I have some in my car right now!!!

I'm really bad about "washing things down" if I have a bad taste in my mouth after a meal. Yesterday I had tuna salad and was a little too aggressive with some water. I had my first "slime" experience in my car in the Sam's Club parking lot. GROSS!!

It's that TOM and I've been eating like a FREAK this week. In fact, today I've only had 17 grams of protein. What the heck am I gonna do? Ugh!

lol this just made me giggle..... I ALWAYS eat and drink at the same time. Boo!

My doctor told me that drinking while eating really isn't a big deal once you are past the healing stage of the first few weeks & back on solid foods.

My guilty pleasure pleasure is a large double/double french vanilla iced coffee from Tim Hortons every AM (but it takes my most of the morning to get ot down).

I've tried pizza (something I loved pre sleeve) & absolutely hate it now.

kiss the day goodbye and do better tomorrow !

I don't drink with my "meals" (it's hard to call it that yet) but I don't wait an entire 30 minutes before I do drink. I started eating mushies a week before I was supposed to. I'm going to start eating chewables probably 2 weeks before I'm supposed to. I despise all Protein supplements and so I am trying real hard to get my protein from food. I am getting about 60 grams a day. Maybe I should start drinking milk instead of Water.

I ate too much cheese and managed to bind myself up.

I too think I am the only one in the world that the sleeve won't work on.

There. I feel better. Oh, and I eat a couple of ritz crackers a day too !

I ate a cracker last night, and in my mushies phase you can't have crackers : ( I also smothered it with peanut butter.

I take little samples from my room mate's take-out from time to time. He orders so much food every day it's annoying. Mostly junk but the stuff I used to eat a lot. Luckily, my sleeve will only allow me a taste ;-).

I am driving everyone I know NUTS talking non-stop about my journey towards getting sleeved....I am especially annoying my teenage daughter...and I DON'T CARE...LOL

I have been craving a bloody mary. Having one now! Tiniest bit of vodka, but al lthe flavor! ummmm... What's sliming?

Here's my dirty little confession: I mooched meat & a tiny bit of cheese off my kids pizza tonight...and I'm 11 days post-op! And my protein bullets started making me gag, so I ditched it for 2 days until I could go shopping for some shakes, now that I can tolerate cold liquids. I'm craving a mixed drink--and I stopped drinking 6 years ago--whodathunkit???

I ate a piece of KFC popcorn chicken, a bite of Mac and cheese, and a bite of mashed potatoes and gravy!

And it was sooooooooo good! I have never salivated so much in my entire life.

I am salivating just from reading this!
