Good bye to fast food



Recommended Posts

Is it weird that as I stopped to get fast food for dinner tonight, that I literally had a conversation with the bag of food? I lett it know that our relationship was an unhealthy one and that this was the last time we would be doing our thing together. Luckily the bag didn't have much to say in return, lol. I'm going to take its silence as a mutual parting of ways.

Welcome to the Loser Bench. :-) After my surgery, I never had another craving for any fast food. Not that I haven't eaten fast food since, but it no longer has the same satisfaction it used to provide. I used to have these overwhelming cravings for certain burgers, fries or Desserts. They all went away. When I realized that, I got the same feeling I did as a kid, when you're let out of school for the Summer. :-)

I did this with quite a few foods. French fries, chocolate ice cream cone, Publix ultimate sub, Publix chicken tenders and pizza. We had to break up. I'm glad I really love salads because that's what I've been eating every night on this pre-op diet!

NOPE! I heard one person refer to them as "food funerals" and I thought that was brilliant. Lol!

I feel like I do that with a lot of foods also! I don't have a surgery date but every time I eat something I think this could be the last time I eat this. I love the food funeral lol sounds about right :)

I've been having a food funeral for the past two days. LOL Starting my pre-op diet on Wednesday so I might as well enjoy a couple days of my favorite things before I say goodbye for good!

I didn't have a conversation with my departure food but we did have a good time. I had banana pudding and overdosed on Little Debbies swiss roles. I like the fact that you were up front and honest with the fast food. I just did not have the right words to say, lol.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
