Recommended Posts

Im 8 weeks out. Im doing well. I started @ 307 now im 248. My eating habits have changed no doubt and I have cut out most of the things that got me obese in the first place. I work out every other day im a certified gym rat. If I miss a day of the gym I feel bad and I make up for it the next day. Ive been wanting fried chicken for a week or so now. The funny thing is after I eat it if I do, it may make my head hurt so bad that I may not ever want it again lol. What do you guys think. Will I turn into a gremlin after 12am after having a piece of fried chicken. Lol

I gave up fried chicken....The other day my cousin's husband was eating a piece of fried chicken and we discussed how it was par fried before reaching the restaurant and how they refried the chicken. So i told him that was fat on top of fat and a lot of salt.....He still ate the chicken. I won't, I don't need it. :)

I tried Popeye's and I was sooo sick. I say make your own with crushed corn flakes as the breading and bake it.

You'll probably feel guilty, don't do it!!! Instead, do this. Oven fried chicken, boneless, skinless breast, dip it in egg/milk or just milk, roll it in one of the oven fried chicken things....should be on the baking isle, or wherever the cornmeal stuff is located. It is GOOD, I promise!! Spray a baking pan with Pam and bake!

No, but it'll cost you another 30 minutes (or however much time it takes to burn off the calories) of cardio activity the next time you're at the gym. :D

If you're far out enough to eat it without hurting yourself AND willing to pay the price above, have at it!

Reading this made me think about how long it's been since I had anything fried. I can't remember when- definitely before surgery. My inlaws are on a low carb, Atkins-type diet. About a month ago we went to Red Lobster and they got the "Admiral's Feast"- a huge plate of every fried piece of seafood possible. But they wouldn't eat a baked potato. They did it again at my graduation dinner last week. They think fried battered food doesn't have carbs....IMHO, fried battered food is as bad as it gets...

Decided not to. I had left over baked chicken and some greens for dinner. Less than 4 ounces tho. Still cant seem to eat that much yet but I do eat 4 small healthy meals a day and snack on carrots. Beware some do gooder on this blog will find something wrong with that "like dont eat carrots you will turn into bugs bunny" smh.

      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!!
