Gosh what I would do for a good chewy steak!!!! I cant eat read meats anymore..stuck with fish and chicken. I can have mince in sloppy bolognaise and stuff but mostly red meats are out for me...I really miss it. And am green with envy when I go to a restaurant and my companion orders a med-well juicy steak or chops. Does anyone else miss red meat?

:hungry:

No, not one bit. I can still eat it, I've just chosen not to. Takes too long to chew, it's just not worth it. Now that I haven't eaten it in about a year, it doesn't even appeal to me. Esp. when I look at the calories. :confused:

I can eat half a slice of prime rib. I sometimes get nostalgic for charred animal flesh when I walk in the summer and smell the aroma from all the neighborhood grills. Mostly I've moved on, however. Same thing with bread. I love bread, but haven't had a slice of the stuff in two years. I tried half of a yeast roll this past Thanksgiving. Huge mistake.

When your mind is lusting for a steak (or anything else you can't eat), just remember that it's only food. Do not give it the power to make you miserable. Do not make it more important than it really is. True hunger can be satisfied with a pickle. If the only thing that will make you "not hungry" is a piece of chocolate cake, then you aren't hungry. That's the thing that most of us don't realize - we have probably never felt real hunger!

I can't do most steak, but I can do a thin rib-eye, cook med. I usually dip it in a sauce of some kind to "lube" it up. I prefer black peppercorn gravy, McCormics makes it in a packet. It's a rare treat, usually for special occasions, we are having steak for Christmas Eve. Other times I have shrimp when others are having steak. That goes down pretty easy. ~Mandy

      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!!
