oh donuts!



Recommended Posts

First, my boy friend is supportive of my surgery. But sometimes he can be so dumb. Last night he came home with a box of mixed donuts. One of my addictions is sweets. I love Boston cremes and there were two in there.

So wole he and the kiddo ate some, I was shaking as I ate my greek yogurt. Ive done so well not wanting anything bad, but last night and this morning has been torture! Despite the "just one bite..." reasoning, I was good and ate yogurt again. The other half of me wants to be mean and smash the box over his head. :(

Just frustrated.

My husband did this pre-op. He's always been supportive of the surgery. At first I thought he was trying to sabotage me. Then I realized, food has been literally the 3rd member of our marriage since day 1.

He would literally forget that I could no longer indulge. After a few conversations about it, I got him to realize he had to think about my food choices before buying me treats. That seemed to help him (not be frustred when I threw items out) and I.

You are a rock star. That was pretty insensitive what was done to you and you prevailed. You're an inspiration.

Ah sme here with my family. I've always taught my kids to share so they get a snack or buy treats or whatever and they offer me everything. Lol I just say no thanks. But after a while they started geting mad at eachother and reminding each other that I cannt eat that stuff. Its too funny. I just laugh now.

When I was about ten days postop, hubby wanted me to ride with him to get some Popeye's chicken. I figured okay that is better than me cooking. I got some mashed tators and they were so good.

But now everynight he sits and eats ice cream and does not bother me in the least

That is in the past

Thanks for the sympathy all. Much appreciated. He really is a supportive guy and encouraging with the workouts. He is very fit and just had a carb craving and didn't think about my reaction to the sweets. Its just strange that this is the first craving-fight I've had to deal with since the preop diet. Weird.

Even if you had taken a bite, probably one bite would have put your mind back in touch with your tiny teeny "stomach" and your stomach would have said Hell no--can't handle that fat and fried stuff.

Good job

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
