Recommended Posts

Someone had metioned heating wuest bars to make them taste better...did I misread that? I just tried the choc chip cookie dough and not a fan but didn't know if heating really does help

I have read that too but haven't tried it. I have a couple more of them and will try that. I didn't care for the ones I've eaten so far.

I am CRAVING carbs tonight. I want like a pound of Pasta with Alfredo sauce and bread. It's driving me nuts. I haven't had a carb craving in almost two months. It's almost like quitting smoking.

Before surgery I would sub plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. Adds Protein to the dish. I tested with my kids on tacos one night and they couldn't tell the difference,.neither could I. Just thought I'd share this tip.

Me too! Wanted to make a box of angel hair parmesan pasta sooooo bad! I keep looking at the box. Finally I just came upstairs away from food. I hate it when this happens! I know that if I made it id only be able to eat a little bit and would feel yucky. So then do I still crave it? UGH! frustrating!

That flavor is my favorite but you're right. I don't really care for them unless they're warm. 15 seconds in the microwave softens them up and changes the flavor and consistency for the better.

Here is my pizza stuffed zucchini I made last night. Of course I could only eat about 1/4 of it but great leftovers! I sliced a zucchini from our garden, scooped the seeds out to make a boat shape. Then put a couple tablespoons of fresh puréed tomatoes also from the garden, sprinkled a little feta and LF mozzarella with some Italian seasoning, topped with quartered Turkey pepperoni. Bake at 375 for 30 mins! Soft and delicious. Great pizza alternative.

What about spaghetti squash? Would that be a good alternative? I bet it would be good with pesto. I make it with a meat sauce (I use ground turkey) and some Parmesan cheese. I haven't had it since my surgery.

Love spaghetti squash, but there's nothing like pasta...I've resigned myself to an almost carb-less life, alas. Carbs got me fat, and I'm totally addicted to them, so I try not to even go there. Going to state fair this weekend, should be interesting trying to find something to eat.

      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!!
