discovered the absolute worst food for me



Recommended Posts

had swarma last night, very very tasty - I stared on an empty stomach, and had maybe a tablespoon full, chewed well and immitidatly started to slime and had to vomit. so, I would say that this takes the prize - this is the absolute worst food for me.

how about you?

sort of like gyros, meat on a vertical spit carmalized by a fire on the side and then sliced into little fragments. while gyros are usually moist, good swarma is usually dry, which seems to have been the problem.

Stay away from the Swarma! LOL :cry_smile:

What do you mean you started to slime???? I have had my band 3 weeks tomorrow and have done very well, but I want to know what it means to slime because I don't want to do it, I'm sure of that. How can I prevent this disgusting thing from happening?:cry_smile:

I have no idea what a gyro is either? You americans and your wierd names for food :-)

I am assuming its like a Doner Kebab? That meat is pretty iffy at the best of times - I never like to think how long its been on the spit.

Sunshinesusie,

When I slime, it's like a huge slimey burp "bubble" - it's the weirdest thing! When your band says No! it means No! in the most disgusting ways sometimes lol.

Ooooohhhh, SHAWARMA.

I was confused by swarma. I have problems with it dry as well. But slathered with a little garlic paste or tahini or hummus or baba it goes down well.

Shawarma ({{lang-ar|شاورما}, also spelled Chawarma, Shwarma, Shuarma, Shawerma, Shoarma or Shaorma) is a Middle Eastern-style sandwich usually composed of shaved lamb, goat, or chicken. Less commonly, it contains turkey, beef, or a mixture of meats. Shawarma is a popular dish and fast-food staple across the Middle East, and is consumed across the rest of the world as well. Shawarma is known as guss in Iraq; it is related to the gyros of Greece. Gyros, however, is typically made of pork meat, or less commonly chicken, although beef or lamb is usually used outside Greece and Cyprus. The classic shawarma combination is pita bread, hummus, Tomato & cucumber, and of course the shawarma. The additional toppings include tahini and amba.

The name shawarma (pronounced SHWAR-muh) comes from the Turkish word çevirme (IPA: [tʃevir'me]), meaning turning, and has its origins in Anatolia. It is quite similar to döner kebab in Turkey (for which it is another name - turning roast), though differing from it in the type of meat and spices used. The composition of the salad can be quite different as well.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
