I have morphed into a food monster...what is up?



Recommended Posts

Just stopping in to agree with Mr. Downtown---I too am back to eating pretty much all the same things I did before, banding, I just eat them in extreme moderation now!! I do try to limit the white flour and sugars....but have not really denied myself anything.

I too had the last supper syndrome-----oooh I need this, or what about that!!! Now, I relaize it was pointless, I am back to being able to eat it!! Difference is amounts! Taco Bell was mentioned---I used to go in and order one of the Value meals---and wonder if I should order an extra taco or something--it might not be enough. Now I go in and order the taco and I am done! Tacos are one of the easiest things ever for me to eat, and I love them, so it works!!!

Hang in there guys, our minds play tricks on us---but you are not alone---many of us have done it, and survived it!!!

Oh--and welcome to LBT guys!!!

Omgosh, I found myself indulging in my favorite foods too... then I found out that my insurance wouldn't cover me if I was over a certain BMI.. and low and behold I have to lose 10lbs before August 22nd.... no more indulgence for me! I did manage to eat one more meal of my beloved sushi though... ahhh...

Been there, done that! I was a total hog before I had to do the two weeks of liquids prior to surgery. I gained like 6 pounds because of it. It's definitely "last meal" syndrome!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
