Food thinking...All in my head....



Recommended Posts

I am only 5 days out and I'm not hungry at all but I'm thinking long term. I wanted any "months out" people to tell me of any if their favorite food they can no longer eat because if the sleeve. I know my absolute favorite fiord to eat is Crab Nachos. I have read some post and i see people say they don't enjoy the taste of certain items. Can someone please share their experience. I know the sleeve is a tool and I must make lifestyle changes I'm just thinking ahead! Thanks in advance.

Almost 2 years out and I cannot eat roast beef, pork, chicken breast, tuna, fried eggs and oatmeal hates me.

I have had allergies before to certain food but now the list has gotten longer.

I don't care though because I have some new favorites and they are great!

I can eat a scrambled egg though..go figure....I eat a lot more fish and cheese now and nuts.....

I have noticed I don't crave sweet stuff anymore. What I do like is salty foods such as crackers & chips. Go figure.

I'm only 3 weeks out so I'm not the person you're really looking for, but I'm wondering if instead of thinking of foods we can't have anynore we should look at those foods we really like (like your Crab Nachos) and try to find ways to reproduce them but in a healthier way. Find ways to change them up so that they can be healthier for us.

Still in soft foods . I can eat tuna but if I eat to much of it I feel nausea , and it's about 1/2 a can . But I can eat cheese all day string cheese or light baby bell and stay hungry all day . I can eat cottage cheese about 3 table spoon fills and I will be done stuffed for about 3 hrs . Most of the time I seem to be hungry ! Which scares me I was hoping the hunger pains went away . But it does if I eat refried Beans from Taco Bell but after I eat then 2-4 hrs I get hungry again :(

I struggle eating talapia, cod, and salmon. I can eat shrimp and tuna but not much of it. I also have a challenge with chicken even if it's baked or crocked potted. The grease from the chicken don't work and the texture/strands is hard for me. Chicken has to be a part of Soups or stews for me to be able to eat it. I can eat beef if it is ribs - no bbq AND if I eat it with ketchup, sauce, or mustard. Also, 1-2 eggs over medium works, but scrambled or poached eggs do not. Anything, absolutely anything that has fat or grease in, on, or around it, will make me sick.

I'm a little over a year out and I eat all of my favorite foods, just in moderation. Bad feelings usually only come if I go overboard, or if I drink too soon after eating.

Six months out and I don't like most breads and pizza now. And I LOVED that stuff before. Oh, and breaded food, blech!

      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!!
