Me too, only we toasted the bread.< /p>

Oh and my recent pre-sleeve vice? Honey butter and Nutella on toast. So totally yummy!

Ooooh, I've never had Nutella and since I've never partaken, everyone who has just says to STAY AWAY and not go there. My oldest DD has a peanut allergy so there are lots of things we don't buy, Nutella being one of them. Most of the nut-alternative spreads (like Sunbutter) she isn't actually allergic to but it's TOO CLOSE to Peanut Butter for her liking, so we just don't bother with most of the alternatives.

The ONE thing that she can tolerate is cookie butter...go figure. And I don't recommend trying it. It has little to no nutritional value and goes down real nice. It's really good on pretzel sticks dipped right into the container and fed directly to the mouth.

Not that I've tried that or anything... ^_^

Nutella is without a doubt, laced with crack cocaine. There is no other explanation for its siren call. I haven't had it in months because I know once I start, I may not stop until I've figured out how to stick my tongue straight into the jar and lick out the sides. Yes it will take away all your dignity and pride.

I was just telling my 5:2 girls the other day the one food sadness I have is that before surgery EVERY morning I would have a Peanut Butter, Ezekiel bread and banana sandwich.,

That and a hot cup of coffee....

I miss taking a bite and sipping coffee in between to "wash" it down.

Sad right?

What I really miss is the one small biscotti I used to dip into my morning coffee. It was my excuse for "well I can't take my pills on an empty stomach". Seriously, the lies we tell ourselves just to get a little sugar into ourselves! That may be one of the few things I still crave.

But we don't buy the biscotti anymore and although my husband threatens to make them from time to time, every time he brings it up, I distract him with a long list of honey dos....I wonder how long before he catches on? :P

I used to eat Mayonnaise sandwiches :P

Miracle Whip with potato chips on Wonder bread, here. Loved them.

Am I the only one that ate Peanut Butter and honey sandwiches daily?

I had one of these just yesterday on fresh honey whole wheat rolls I made for Thanksgiving #1.

Ok I have to stop you here... As the op of this thread I realized it jumped the shark long ago and I accept that. But there are certain things I will not tolerate!

Miracle whip??? Wtf?? That is not mayo!

I will overlook the Wonder bread because..well it has it's place. I wouldn't eat a fried bologna sandwich on anything else. But you better get your miracle whip talking azz outta here! :P

OMG, Miracle Whip was my staple food (if it qualifies as being a food). My all time favorite with Velveeta (if it qualifies as being a food) and Miracle Whip. I had distended my stomach on many occassion with that combination.

Food porn discussions are not a good thing for me. It gets my head spinning ...

Seriously.

I'm outta here.

Okay I'm now starving so I am going to change the topic away from food to a sad fact. two sad facts actually.

Sad fact 1. I shank. A whole damn inch. Apparently I'm only 5'5 now so it will take even longer for me to be normal weight.

Sad fact 2. My wrists shrank. So much for measuring your frame size by encircling your wrists no matter how much you weight blah blah. I am now closer to being a medium frame than I was before. So now it will take even longer for me to be normal weight.

Ugh.

Oh Sad Fact 3. I don't feel like worklng and I really need to! My kids are both home and I just want to hang out with them but the carpet is getting cleaned, all the furniture is moved around and really we're just going to have to leave the house in the cold and go somewhere and I need by Breakfast shake and I have the whinies.

      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.
