Leave My Food ALONE!

Full price Oreos (no sale even) I could of bought 9 packages! Hehe yes I just looked up Oreos?

Did you guys know they make sugar free Oreos now??? Go figure :P

When companies started making sugar free and fat free food items, there was an increase in obesity. Still have calories and little nutritional value.

I really enjoyed reading this because my hubby does the same thing to me and I get upset. He has everything else to eat. 90% of the shopping list is "his" so I don't understand why he has to eat my stuff. Like other posters I feel guilty when I get upset after discovering the latest item he has inhaled. :unsure:

The hubby and I made teriyaki steak kabobs on the grill the other day and I'm guarding the leftovers for work.

This frustrated me to no end. I realized that it was making me overeat because I knew I probably wouldn't get anymore of something I really liked. My husband is a night owl and well eat everything while I'm asleep. I explained to him nicely once that he was sabotaging my weight loss and he's pretty good. Now I just say "touch my food and I'll kill you! "

I used to eat all of my mom's expensive diet food as Snacks when I was in high school and never realized how frustrating that must have been. Now that I'm reading your stories I'm feeling a little guilty, guess I owe her some nutritious snacks lol.

Really I'm not. Just wondering if anybody else's husband/wife does this. First off, let me say that my husband has been so supportive. However,whatever I'm allowed to eat he eats it too. Then when I go to the frig to get something, it is gone. We buy whatever he wants at the grocery and he eats that too. He has quit buying cartons of sodas because he is"cutting back" on cals too. However he will stop at the gas station and pay $1.79 per bottle (3 bottles at a time, which lasts 1 day). He refuses to buy himself sweets but then drinks my Protein drinks and eats my Protein Bars, which are very expensive. I just don't get it.

I posted the above this evening and was referred to this topic. You guys crack me up :). I feel much better now.

On day 4 of my 10 day pre-surgery liquid diet my husband drank/ate my broth from some won-ton Soup. I had a melt down and he said, "I"ll never touch your food bowl again". (Comparing me to a dog growling over it's food bowl) He was being funny and it WAS funny to me. I had gone to Sam's and bought a ridiculous amount of food for him, the girl child and all of my family that was going to be here for my surgery and he ate the ONE thing in the whole dang house that I could have!! I think I scared the girl child because she immediately started saying she would go and get more for me.

I have just given in on some of it... A regular order I make is for Ostrim sticks (like a slim Jim or beef jerky) my son and husband LOVE them and if my husband is willing to kick down 16 dollars a box? Who am I to complain :D But I still get pissed when someone eats my Protein cookies!!! :P

My two favorite "quick fix" foods are Lean Cuisine Spring Rolls and Skinny Cow Salted Caramel Pretzel Bar.... Guess what my daughter's favorite Snacks are? Grrrrrr!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
