Food Buddy



Recommended Posts

Prior to surgery I would eat out a lot and not give it a second thought on how much I spent. The other day at work I decided I wanted a Gyro so I told my friend that I would buy for the both of us. Each meal was $10.95 each plus tax and $6.00 delivery, total was something around $30. I took two bites before I started to feel full. that is when it hit me, I realized I used to spend a lot of money on food! I was telling my friend that when she said "I told you we should have split one meal". Crap had I heard that I could have saved money! So now we decided to be food buddies, we will split meals since we both don't eat much. haha. Anyone find a food buddy?

It's a great idea, I've got my sister, who has never been a big eater and it's great because we pretty much like the same things

My husband is my food buddy. He had a bypass 9 years ago, and although he can pretty much eat normal portions now, since I had my surgery we split our meals at restaraunts. It keeps him in check with his portions, and helps our wallet. Win win!

My husband is my food buddy. Like you, I always spent a lot of money on food and now I'm super cheap. I don't want to pay for a whole entree when I will only eat a few bites. I just bum food off of my husband's plate or get a Soup or small salad.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
