  1. 1. What foods do you crave?



Recommended Posts

chocolate covered potato chips or chocolate covered pretzels are really good! And I'm not a huge chocolate, nor a huge potato chip, nor a big pretzel fan.

But I'd love some chips and salsa and guac right about now. I just wish there were some yummy low fat, low carb chips that tasted good out there. I can only do so much soy...

Doritos and sour cream....

Or some fresh baked pretzels, soft not crunchy, with some cheese and some mustard.

I'm on the pre-op diet of bacteria laced milk and their bi-products! :D

So I basically miss People foods, all people foods...

;) :beer: :lunch: :popcorn: :pizza: :cup:

But I'm hanging in there...:clap2:

Hi Jurema: Boy is it ever nice to put a face to the name. How many days to go now. Like you, I love salt so you have to wean yourself off it. Salt is addictive so that may be why you are having trouble with the pre op. Just a thought. Doddie

Doddie,

6 days and counting... I can't wait. Soon I'll be on the banded side. I wonder what I'll look like in a year and how much more better I'll feel over all. Do we have a canadian before and after pic thread?

Hi Jurema I sent you a private message. Hope you get it. But incase you don't I encourage you to take a before picture and to make a pictorial record of your journey. I am doing it, and I know many others are as well.

Make the first one as unflatering as possible then every 30 lbs. I love your ticker tape. Doddie

Really well. I only took one demerol the nite of and nothing else. Lots of gas. You really must try to walk around to get rid of it. Get lots of chewable Gas X and Rolaids plus gas (they're yummy). I have a hard time taking deep breaths but nurse Nancy said thats normal and to take about 5 deep breaths hold for 10 seconds every hour. Should go away in a few days. I'm on full fluids tomorrow and I can hardly wait, actually, I didn't ...had a yoghurt. Good luck on the 4th. I'll be away for about a week no computer access at the cottage so I'll check in on you next week.

All the best

      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.

        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.

      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!!
