Donuts are not worth it....what's your food that's not worth it???



Recommended Posts

I just slimed and pb'd a donut. I have never felt so sick to my stomach...I could literally taste the lard as the stinking thing was undulating in my stoma. NASTY.

Why did I even eat it? I wasn't hungry, I resisted temptation while everyone else ate one...and then I tried to eat one. WHY???

Well, I can tell you honestly...it will be a cold day in HELL before I ever ever EVER put a donut in my mouth.

blech..

So...what food is it for you that is so not worth it anymore...(And I know that we're not supposed to eat crap food anymore...but life happens and sometimes you have to accept that crap food is sometimes a part of life ie...birthday cakes)....

DONUTS SUCK!

Hi Rain:

Sorry you got sick. Good thing it was on a donut though.

Cold day in hell before I eat tuna fish again because of getting stuck, dr. sent me to e.r., had to have a cat scan, morphine for pain, etc. That happened my second week on mushies post surgery - hadn't even been filled yet. I wish it had been something good, like a donut!

Too bad ice cream, potato chips, and chocolate chip Cookies don't get stuck easy:wink_smile:! Willpower and smart choices keep us going, but every once in a while a person needs a small treat.

I can remember before support group one week a woman was talking about having eaten an entire whopper at burger king. I was almost sick thinking about the pain that would have caused me. She said it went down fine.

Better luck next time you eat something yummy:ohmy:!

Shrimp! I have had shrimp ONCE since the band, and I didn't chew it properly.

Not only did I slime and pb, but it came up through my nose.

I'll never look at shrimp quite the same again.

I have been lucky so far. I have not had anything get stuck and I haven't slimed. But for me I would say hamburgers are not worth it for me. I have only had 1 since surgery and it took me for ever to chew the bun and the meat. Plus when you have to chew it to mush it taste like crap. I have found alot of things that I use to love to eat that now I can't stand.

I am a big donut lover, so this was a good thing for me to see. I have not had anything make my slime or PB yet but I did eat some fat free cheesecake and ice cream thinking that I would be ok but since they would slide down but I was very wrong. I started to get the pain about 30 minutes later. Valueable lesson learned.

I didn't have them get stuck...but french fries. I used to LOVE Wendy's french fries. Didn't have them from pre-op until about a week ago (3 months of fry sobriety) and I thought I was going to gag. NASTY.

Cakey bready burrito type things spell trouble for me. Funnily enough I can still have pizza though - weird huh?

eggs are the biggest no-no for me though. Last time I had scrambled eggs we were on holidays and I spent almost 2 hours sliming and pbing and sweating profusely while feeling like I was going to pass out/die in an unlit public toilet cubicle in a small town we'd traveled to to have a look at all the touristy things there. Bad bad experience.

Potatoes. I can eat mashed potatoes, but it has to be very, very slowly. Baked potatoes and home fries, on the other hand, are evil little beasts. I've gotten them both stuck twice since my fill last week. I've not PB'd anything, but I get the huge lump golfball in the chest feeling and DANG that hurts! I need to avoid potatoes completely depending on how they are cooked.

As far as I can tell, there is nothing that I CAN'T eat, but I am going to paste the doughnut warning in my brain to save me from temptation. Thank goodness I don't have Sue's problem with tuna, because I eat it 5 times a week. The mental image of having shrimp come out my nose (Gloucester) made me howl, but it was probably not funny while it was happening. I have yet to PB, but I have had my share of improperly-chewed bites that jammed in my throat for a few minutes making my eyes Water and reminding me to SLOW DOWN.

Steak is no good for me. I haven't gotten stuck on that or anything else- but steak just doesn't taste good anymore after 30 chews and it's still chunky & dry....Ick! I spit it out without trying to swallow.

I'd have to agree - donuts. Ick. Scones, muffins, etc I enjoy but they're very dangerous foods. But donuts dont even taste good any more - they are just instant pain. And I mean what I call a donut which in Australia is a bit different to those utterly disgusting Krispy Kreme things - I couldnt stand those even when I didnt have a band.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
