I have taken left over combo pizza and peeled everything off the the bread and dropped it into a skillet and added 2 scrambled eggs for a very nice Breakfast scramble that always ends up being lunch also cause it turns out to dam big every time . Nice weekend treat for breakfast but only if you can resist not eating the bread

Aren't you the clever one!

You know what's really strange? I think gastric bypass physically broke a large part of my addiction to food because almost all of the foods that I used to enjoy pre-surgery now taste awful and make me physically sick. Yesterday I had a carefully crafted Qdoba burrito bowl. By carefully, I mean I had no carbs/starches. I just had black Beans, ground beef, cheese, and salsa. Well let's just say it was something I used to enjoy. I am still sick from it today and I it wasn't the overeating kind of sickness.

that sucks! I remember when I was your stage... I hated thinking about going to the grocery store because nothing tasted right. Luckily for me, that went away. I don't have many aversions to anything now. So give it some time, you may enjoy it again.

You really hit on it. I don't even want to go to the grocery store.

That is awesome. There is some pizza my family likes and I think the crust is just soggy and gross the next day. I think I do miss the toppings more than the crust sometimes. Maybe a turkey pepperoni omelette would work.

I actually look forward to this. I think it could help reset my brain to the healthy foods I actually should be eating.

So the other day I had my 2/6 mandated diet visits and she was talking about leptin signals telling you when you are full and kept pointing to her stomach. I pointed to my cheeks and said this is where I get hungry. I can feel good n my throat and still feel hungry. Glad to see some post op posts that this “feeling” seems to be deleted.

I don't believe I ever experienced "full" like she was talking about. Not even on Thanksgiving. I think I'm leptin-challenged!

Maybe you are hyper-ghrelin as well,as leptin-challenged 😲

I am a bleu cheese girl. I love bleu cheese, can't get enough blue cheese! That being said, we can still have cheese but I have changed to reduced fat or fat free. I still feel like I am getting cheese, but I am not going to eat something that is 95% fat anymore. Do I still want it? Heck yeah, but I am doing really well curbing my head craving.

Totally none of my business but this journey has shown me in black and white that fat doesn’t make me fat. So while I completely avoid sugar and sweet tasting things (for the first 6 months I did not touch fruit even), I ate full fat meat and dairy and cooked with olive oil and coconut oil. I write down everything I eat in an app (I use Lose It). Every single day of 9 months of weight loss, I have eaten over 50% of my calories in fat. I had heard fat doesn’t make you fat, but I didn’t really internalize it as a fact until I saw it didn’t make ME fat!

Not trying to get you back on the cheese Jones at all, lol, but I thought you might find that interesting. Daily eating a ton of fat, while daily losing weight. I’m sold. Good fats don’t make us fat. But I do watch the carbs.
