Homosexual Liberal Atheists ~ What's UP with that?



Recommended Posts

Buffalo is good. If you like buffalo, have you ever tasted ostrich? It's like the most lean, tender steak you can imagine. We have family that owns an ostrich farm and every year when they visit they bring some steaks up.

Hmm, have you eaten ostrich post-band? DH and I love steak but we had some the other night and he wasn't able to handle much and I'm afraid I won't be able to either after I'm banded...

I had it once, in July (that's when the family visits). But I have no limitations on the meats I can handle, I've just opted out of red meats (except for the very rare, and that is meant both ways, occasion). So I don't know if it would be any more band friendly than steak or not.

Most unusual thing I've ever eaten was alligator tail. Not my favorite thing.

Being in Florida, I've had gator too. Not bad, just not good either. :) Too much like eating fried rubber. Sorta like calamari. I've also eaten squirrel (or as some here call it, tree rat - all dark meat, not bad really, better than the gator) and shark. As a general rule, I despise fish. But shark is so mild and tender I'm actually quite fond of it. :hungry: I've had buffalo and ostrich too. I can't really remember what either tasted like, but I do remember they were both good. That's the extent of my dietary oddities.

I remember liking rabbit when I was a kid. I've eaten squirrel, too but wasn't impressed.

I don't like venison, except venison Jerky, which is awesome.

I'm not very adventurous when it comes to trying new food.

I like shark. When I lived in San Diego we used to get fresh shark at the fish market. I had alligator for the first time, just the other day at a cajun restaurant. It was a very wet meat - beyond moist. At least how they prepared it.

I haven't eaten that much weird stuff. No balut here, thank you. I've had moose, rattlesnake... once as a kid my parents tricked me into eating tongue. I spent a chunk of time in Belize... half of it on the cayes, and existed largely on conch that was caught as you ordered. Needless to say it sometimes took a while to get your food (why did we bother with a $3.50 lobster buffet?) I once ate a bite of fried brain sandwich. My grandfather had ordered it, set it down next to my tenderloin sandwich, and I picked up the wrong one.

This is your brain on bread...

Wow. Not so sure I need to be banded now. I'll just set that pic as my desktop, then I'll never eat again. Thanks Carlene!

When I lived in Fla I tried alligator. Not at all memorable. But the Conch fritters could be addictive.

All cuts of camel or just certain ones?

Or are you referring to the cigarette?

      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!!
