So I was traveling yesterday and airports have always been huge eating venues for me. There's often these great restaurants and you've got hours of nothing to do...might as well eat (not to mention drink!) So I was doing laps in the SLC airport yesterday, drinking my bottled Water, trying not to think about food. I had only eaten 1/2 banana on my way to the airport 4 hours earlier and I really was hungry! I walked by the Cinnabon stand...oooo it smelled so good. Then here comes a Rocky Mountain chocolate Factory booth....mmmmm all those truffles! Next there was the Krispy Kreme display. I went over....pressed my nose longingly against the glass, staring at the donuts, trying to keep the drool in my mouth. And low and behold, on top of the counter, next to the cash register, was a display of Quest Bars! I picked out a chocolate brownie flavored one, paid the jacked up $3.50 and continued on my airport walkabout. What a good little bariatric patient I am!

Great job! I too avoided donuts yesterday. I bought 2 dozen for the people at work and didn't have 1/2 nor did I get my favorite ham & cheese croissant from the donut shop. They are my favorite.

Krispy Kreme?????? Oh, man............what pleasant memories of when I though sugar and grease were food groups. Congratulations on having the strength to resist. As my people say "You done real good."

So very admirable! I remember when my college town Springfield, MO) was celebrating the grand opening of its first Krispy Kreme restaurant. A week before this grand opening, they drove a van around town and gave away free Krispy Kreme doughnuts and pasteries. They were delicious! The customer line on their first day was out the door and down the street. I wish I had the same metabolism as I had back then. I can't even get by with just licking the icing off anymore. However, my cravings for sugar have diminished since I've gone without it for three months.

Congratulations to you. Wow. Fortunately donuts make me sick so I can jet right by Kristy Kremer.... but Rocky Mountain chocolate would have caused a panic attack.

I will keep your will power in mind as I face the overwhelming choices the next two days.

Good for you kindle. Did they wipe the drool off the display afterwards lol. I had a battle with cake the other day.

They must have put those Quest bars out just for you. How great that you have so much restraint and how lucky you were to find the Protein bars just when you needed them.

Protein snacks: never leave home without them.

Well I only used my restraint until I got home. My diet over the last 24 hours has consisted of sugar, carbs and alcohol! And my reward is now cramping and nausea. Oh well....totally worth it! But now back to protein...

I thought I was the only one! I never like Krispy Kreme for that exact reason. I prefer cake donuts like Dunkin anywho. Well, I "preferred" Dunkin. I am scared to eat it and don't even crave em.

      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!!
