Tips to not eat your kids food!



Recommended Posts

So I am 11 weeks post op and I have a two and four year old who only go to nursery 1 1/2 days a week. Now I am a big fan of non processed healthy eating but of course I allow my kids to have occasional treats. When I make them meals/snacks I just automatically seem to eat some of it and it's never the extra healthy stuff it's always the crackers from the fruit and cheese plate or the buttered mash from chicken dinner or the chips from the picnic etc when I do this I am then full up so its not even really the calorie content from what I'm eating because it's not that much but it means I'm missing out on the protein/ good fats that I should be eating.

What do other parents who's children are at home do?

I have to pretend that I am allergic. If I eat that stuff, I break out in fat. Or you could save yourself the trouble and just tape it to your hips.

@@Carriejess, I am 9 days po and already have this concern. I too have a 2 & 4 year old. I know I am going thru this process to change lifestyle habits and eat better, but I have always had a piece of this, piece of that when feeding my girls. I've caught myself already in the morning when I've made them their three cheese scrambled eggs.

@@Miss Mac that is hilarious! I'm so using that line the next time someone asks me why I'm not eating something!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
