Did Anyone Make A Food Bucket List?



Recommended Posts

I love going to resturants still. I love that a meal from my favorite resturants now turns into 1 or 2 more meals. To me' date=' it actually makes it more worth the money! My fiance and I try to share a meal if we're out and won't be able to get it home to the frige in a resonable time, but most of the time I just end up with delicious leftovers! :D[/quote']

That's one thing I'm looking forward to being able to do! Getting more meals out of what used to be one...

I already tend to get 2 meals from a restaurant meal so I'm sure it will be much more after I'm sleeved.

I get four to six meals out of some restaurants, three out of others. But I'm early in.

I think this last meal, or bucket list thing is misguided myself. First of all, later on you can have anything. I plan on an eggnog this holiday season, just not several of them. I do eat rice, but brown rice and just a little, which is a perfect accompaniment to my little meals. The only thing I gave up is white bread and candy and still later I will have a bit if I want, just not the big box :).

You don't need to stuff yourself prior to surgery. Believe me you will feel full again, just with less food. I enjoy wine again and can't wait for champs at New Years (when I'm allowed to have it again). Making food such a deep focus isn't healthy IMO. Taking control is key if you have a food addiction. If you quit smoking you don't have two packs the day prior to quitting...so why stuff your face before you quit stuffing your face? :).

No list, per se, but I have had a couple of thoughts along that line:

1 - I got a smoker for Father's Day, so I've gotta do at least one more batch of ribs. Might need to sell it after that though.

2 - Five Guys

3 - Chipotle

Yup, I sure did. Then something just told me...really, you're not dying you're just eating healthier. Just wait until later once you've already learned and retrained your body. You probably won't even want it then.

I started thinking okay, if I had a toddler, would I let him/her eat this? That's how I normally (when I'm not mentally breaking down) look at this process. I'm getting a reset. So in the end it wound up not being worth it.

However, Thanksgiving will be a challenge...

Since making the mental decision to have the surgery and starting all the testing I have just stopped all of the ridiculous dieting that I usually do until I start my pre op diet.

I am mourning the loss of never taking a "Man vs. Food" challenge... Not that I would ever finish it in the first place, but once I'm sleeved it would be a total waste if food.< /p>

I'm sad to say I have been eating anything and everything. I've been in love with food for so long. It has supported me through it all...but it is time to break up. I just want to be friends lol.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
