My Lunch: A Pictorial Attempt To Show You Life Will Be Normal



Recommended Posts

I'm four months out so cleared to eat almost everything except I haven't dared too many raw veggies. Are you going to post your meals luminous?

As soon as I am consuming more than Water lol :) I love cooking and take pictures of everything I prepare anyway.

May not look very appetizing but it was quite delicious and satisfying. Barely able to finish it all.

Crockpot chicken curry with steamed zucchini. Yum!

Had 5 guys-bacon cheeseburger and cajun fries.

I am one who didn't have this surgery to give up my fav's.

So, I had the patty, cheese, bacon, grilled onions and like 6 fries w/ vinegar.

I threw out the bun minus 1small nibble.

I did not finish the whole patty. At 2 bites left I gave up bc afraid to over eat.

And yes, I did put it in mfp.

Lets be honest here.

I was really there for the cajun fries.

The burgers are good, but I'm a recovering fry gal.

To eat only 6, and only after my Protein was a major victory for me.

Yes, 800 cal is high but I'm ok w/ that.

Their fries must have crack in them. There is NO other explanation for what they are so good. I used to get them when I flew out of La guardia but only if there was someone with whom to share both the fries and the kids burger.

I do look forward to being able to do that once in a while as a treat. Right now, eating a burger patty doesn't appeal, and although I have a very accommodating sleeve, I suffer with potatoes so it's keeping me out of trouble.

For now.

Okay good example of what NOT to eat. I didn't have time to get Breakfast at the airport. Flying upgraded today, and this is what Delta gives you for breakfast. That muffin top? Aptly named. 31 gms of carbs. Practically my whole day's carb allowance! I will eat the top of the unstirred yogurt and get 8 gms of Protein, and potentially a little fruit.

In contrast my very delicious and sleeve friendly dinner. Jumbo sea scallops and grilled asparagus with edamame before. I was able to eat 1.5 scallops and 2 spears of asparagus. So good!

Breakfast in India (but western breakfast): scrambled eggs, toast, hash brown, sautéed mushrooms, roasted Tomato. Seem big? Here is a before/after. I'm quite full. Really enjoyed the mushrooms.

      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!!
